terms and conditions of vessel charter 

SAFETY

1. Safety procedures must be observed at all times. The Skipper's decision on the day is final in all matters relating to the vessel and its tender(s).
   
2. Instructions or advice given by the Skipper or Crew on matters of safety must be observed by all on board and clients must, at all times, take all reasonable precautions for their own and others safety.
   
3. Neither the Skipper nor Crew accept any liability for any accident or injury incurred by any passenger on board the vessel engaged in fishing, angling, diving, sightseeing, photography, filming, whilst in transit or similar activities, caused by the actions of any other passenger on board howsoever occurring.
   
4. Children under the age of 12 may only be carried under the supervision and responsibility of their parents or guardians at all times.

 

 

PAYMENT AND CANCELLATION

1. Prices for diving are as per brochure, advertised on the web pages or quoted direct.
   
2. The person whose signature appears on the Charter Reservation Form in making the booking, whether an individual or on behalf of a group, is the Client responsible for the whole of the fee he/she has undertaken to pay.
   
3. A booking fee of £100 per day must be forwarded with the sea angling charter reservation form to secure the date(s). The remaining balance of the total amount is payable on the day of the charter.
   
4. Where the Client cancels the charter more than 8 days prior to the first day of the charter, any booking fee paid will be refunded less £25 administration fee.
   
5. Where the Client cancels the charter 7 days or less prior to the first day of the charter, the booking fee will not be refunded.
   
6. If owing to circumstances outwith our control, the charter booked or a suitable alternative cannot be provided, a full refund of a Client’s booking fee will be offered.
   
7. We reserve the right to alter prices in accordance with any major changes in costs, which may occur between the time of the booking and the time of departure.
   

We believe that gratuities should be voluntary and based
upon the quality of service the crew has provided.

GENERAL

1. While every reasonable effort will be made to ensure quality charters for the client, we do not accept any responsibility for any circumstances outwith our control, e.g. tides and moon phases, poor diving visibility and weather conditions amongst others.
   
2. Where the vessel is chartered to dive for a specific purpose and weather or other conditions on the day prevent this, the charterers will make every effort to provide a safe alternative trip, and the Client shall have no further claim against us.
   
3. We shall not be liable for any death, injury or damage, loss, delay or irregularity, which may be caused by persons or conditions outwith our control. We accept no responsibility for any losses or additional expense caused by delays in changes to transport or other services, strikes, war, weather or other causes. 
   
4. Clients must refrain from throwing rubbish overboard - the Disposal of Garbage at Sea Act makes this an offence.
   
5. Any breakages, loss of equipment provided or damage caused on board as a result of client's misbehaviour, irresponsibility or carelessness will be charged to the client.
   
6. If any passenger is found to be in possession of anything illegal; or engages in behaviour causing danger to themselves or other persons or property on board including consumption of alcohol to excess, then he or she will be put ashore at the first opportunity and the Authorities notified as may be necessary. 
   Any such passenger(s) shall free and release the vessel owner / skipper from any liabilities, incidental costs or responsibility arising out of any breach of this condition.
   
7. The Skipper reserves the right to accept or refuse any charter.
   
8. The Laws of Scotland shall govern any legal action or proceedings arising out of or connected with this contract
