The check-in procedure for a yacht charter will vary depending on the yacht charter company, but generally, it will involve the following steps:
Arrival: You will be greeted by the crew at the marina or port where the yacht is docked. You should plan to arrive at the agreed-upon time to ensure a smooth check-in process.
Checklist & orientation: items that need to be reviewed before departure, such as the safety equipment, navigation and communication systems and the overall condition of the yacht. The crew will give you a tour of the yacht and show you how to operate the various systems, including navigation, communication, and safety equipment. They will also demonstrate how to use the on-board amenities such as the galley, heads, and entertainment systems.
Paperwork: The crew will provide you with the necessary paperwork to sign, including a charter agreement, inventory list, and safety briefing. Make sure to read and understand the terms and conditions of the charter before signing the paperwork.
Provisioning: If you have requested provisioning services, the crew will show you where the provisions are stored and how to access them.
Departure: Once the check-in procedure is complete, you will be given instructions on how to depart the marina or port and set sail.
