ARE LUXURY CREWED YACHT CHARTERS FAMILY-FRIENDLY?

Yes, a sailing vacation is perfect for families! Horizon Yacht Charters can match your family to the perfect family-friendly yacht – this is certainly the best holiday for those wishing to spend quality time with their nearest and dearest. Some yachts do have age restrictions (must be swimming age/no infants) but not all. You will need to consider that the crew, while very accommodating, will not be able to look after your kids, so supervision will always need to be arranged. The catamarans are very stable and safe for younger children and we can guarantee that your kids will love their sailing vacation and will persuade you to return for more – perhaps discovering another area of the Caribbean the next time!

HOW DO THE BOOKING PROCESS AND
PAYMENT ARRANGEMENTS WORK?

First, you decide on a yacht and crew that fits your group and desired budget. Then Horizon Yacht Charters will place a hold on your dates. Next a contract is drawn up between the yacht and you, the charterer. A 50% deposit is due along with the signed contract. Once we have both things, your charter is confirmed! The balance is due 45 days before the charter starts and the preference sheets (for food, beverages, activities) would be due at this time too. We strongly suggest Trip Cancellation Insurance is taken out as soon as the charter is booked to protect your funds against unforeseen circumstances.

WHAT IS NOT INCLUDED?

Not included are crew gratuities (15-20% of the charter rate), optional marina docking for overnight stay, excursions and meals ashore not provided by the yacht/crew, special requests for top shelf liquor, wine or excessive alcohol consumption and transfers to and from the airport.

SHOULD I GET TRIP CANCELLATION INSURANCE?

Trip insurance is always a smart option to protect your investment. It can cover delayed/cancelled flights, weather cancellations, or cancellations due to accidents or unforeseen emergencies, the cost of hotels and other expenses incurred during delays. Horizon Yacht Charters is pleased to work with Insure My Trip needed as a preferred provider for this type of vacation insurance.

WHAT ARE THE CANCELLATION TERMS?

If you cancel the charter, there is no refund unless the yacht can rebook a different charter for the same dates, when a partial refund is issued. Trip cancellation insurance is always a good idea (see above).
