YACHT CHARTERS IN SINGAPORE

Payment Terms and Cancellation Policy

Bookings are on a first-come, first-served basis and will be confirmed upon payment of a deposit equal to 50% of the total charter fee (including any extras booked and inclusive of GST). The 50% deposits are non-refundable, unless 3 months prior notice of cancellation is given. Full payment of the total charter fee (including any extras booked and inclusive of GST) will be required at least 3 (three) weeks prior to the date of the charter. Should these payment deadlines not be met, Blue Star Yachting will consider the booking cancelled and the deposit will not be refunded.

Bookings paid in full and cancelled at least 3 (three) weeks prior to the charter date will be eligible for a 50% refund of the amount paid. No refund will be made for cancellations requests made less than 3 weeks before the charter date and the full amount of the charter fee (including any extras booked and inclusive of GST) will be owed to Blue Star Yachting.

We accept payments by telegraphic transfer or PayNow.

We strongly recommend that guests take out cancellation and curtailment insurance to protect their investment if unforeseen circumstances prevent or curtail their charter.

Captain’s decision

Blue Star Yachting strives to provide the most professional and pleasurable experience possible whilst operating to strict safety standards. The Captain's role is to ensure the safety of the guests, crew and yacht. Please be advised that, should the Captain deem anything to be unsafe, the Captain's decision will be final. Any refusal by any guest(s) to follow the reasonable instructions of the Captain or crew will result in such guests being asked to leave the yacht promptly at the nearest safe disembarkation point and such guests will be responsible for their own return travel arrangements. Blue Star Yachting will not be liable to any refund of fees in such event.

Insurance

Blue Star Yachtinghas obtained insurance coverage for its crewed yacht charter activities. However, such coverage does not include any provision related to the guests’ personal effects, or to any accident, injury or illness suffered by the guests whilst on board, embarking or disembarking, and for which Blue Star Yachting does not accept any liability. Guests are strongly advised to obtain their own insurance coverage for such eventualities.

Blue Star Yachtingalso accepts no responsibility or liability whatsoever for disruptions caused by force majeure events such as fire, flood, acts of god, mechanical issues, strikes, political unrest, acts of government or authorities, or any other occurrence beyond the control of Blue Star Yachting.

Damages & Breakages

For safety reasons, the Captain and/or crew must be notified immediately of any damage or breakage found or caused by the guests.

Prohibited items and substances

Any item or substance prohibited by the laws of Singapore (including but not limited to drugs, firearms, weapons of any description, noxious substances or liquids) or any other item of any kind that is unlawful or unsuitable for use on the yacht is prohibited. The Captain reserves the right to refuse to allow any item on board that she should deem unsuitable or unsafe for any reason whatsoever. Any guests refusing to allow packages or personal effects to be checked by the Captain and/or crew will not be allowed onboard the yacht and will be responsible for their own return travel arrangements. Please be advised that in accordance with the rules and regulations of MPA, any guests arriving to the yacht displaying signs of being under the influence of drugs will be denied boarding. Blue Star Yachting will not be liable to any refund of fees in such event.
