Ownership and Use of the Platform

These pages, the content and infrastructure of these pages, and the online yacht reservation service provided through the website are owned, operated, and provided by CYC Operations Ltd (Company Number: 14649426) trading as Compare Yacht Charters, registered at 82a James Carter Road, Mildenhall, Bury St. Edmunds, Suffolk, England, IP28 7DE (“CompareYachtCharters.com”, “us”, “we”, or “our”) and are intended for your personal, non-commercial use only, subject to the terms outlined here.

Scope of Terms

These terms and conditions, which may be updated periodically, apply to all services offered directly or indirectly through any medium, including online platforms, mobile devices, emails, or phone communications. By using our website or any associated applications and/or by completing a booking, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to these terms and conditions, including our privacy and cookie policies.

Our Service

Through our platform, CompareYachtCharters.com and its partners offer an online interface where various yacht operators (including charter companies, marinas, private yacht owners, and travel agents) (collectively referred to as “suppliers” or “operators”) can list their vessels for rental, and where users can make bookings. When you book a yacht through CompareYachtCharters.com, you are entering into a direct, legally binding agreement with the yacht supplier. Our role is to facilitate this transaction by processing the payment, forwarding your booking details to the yacht supplier and sending you a confirmation email on their behalf.

The information we display is based on the data provided by the yacht suppliers, who are responsible for updating their listings, including rental prices, availability, and other details. While we strive to ensure the accuracy of this information, we cannot guarantee its completeness or correctness and are not liable for any errors, interruptions, or inaccuracies. The yacht suppliers are solely responsible for the accuracy of the information they provide on our platform.

Our services are strictly for personal and non-commercial use, and you are not permitted to use, reproduce, or distribute any content, information, products, or services available on our platform for commercial purposes.

Pricing

Unless specified otherwise, all prices on the CompareYachtCharters.com platform are quoted per yacht for the entire booking period and include VAT and other applicable taxes. Most charter companies operate using the Euro currency (EUR) so any prices shown in another currency are only displayed as indicative only and may be inaccurate due to currency fluctuations and exchange fees. Please review the booking details carefully for any specific conditions before completing your reservation. We are not bound by obvious errors or mistakes, including misprints.

Our service is provided free of charge to users, and we do not add any additional charges or fees to the rental price. The yacht suppliers pay us a commission (a small percentage of the rental price) once the customer has made the payment.

Privacy and Cookies

CompareYachtCharters.com is committed to protecting your privacy. Please review our privacy policy for detailed information on how we handle your data.

Payment

To secure your booking, yacht suppliers may require full or partial payment upfront. Payments are processed securely through a third-party payment system from your credit/debit card or bank account via us to the yacht supplier's account. Be sure to review the payment conditions carefully before finalizing your booking.

Cancellations

By making a booking through our platform, you agree to the specific cancellation policy of the yacht supplier, along with any additional terms and conditions they may have. These terms may include conditions related to the services or products provided by the yacht supplier. Cancellation policies are available on our platform during the booking process and in your confirmation email. Some bookings may not be eligible for cancellation or modification; therefore, it is essential to review the details before making a reservation. We recommend reading the cancellation and payment policies thoroughly and ensuring timely payments.

Please note that if the required payments are not made on the due date, the booking may be canceled without prior notice, and any prepaid amounts may not be refundable unless the yacht supplier agrees otherwise. To view, modify, or cancel your booking, refer to your confirmation email and follow the provided instructions.
