Is proof of competency required?
Proof of competency requirements vary from country to country with some areas (such as Greece and Majorca) insisting on written proof. This can be in the form of a sailing certificate or, in some cases, a letter from a recognized yacht club. Other areas (notably the Caribbean) simply require a single page signed sailing resumé. It is worth remembering that all charter companies reserve the right to place a skipper on board (at the expense of the client) if they feel there is any question of safety.
What does the price include?
The prices shown are per boat for the period stated. None of our prices include flights.
All our operators differ in exactly what is included on your charter. Upon confirmation you will be advised exactly what is included. As a minimum: the yacht and all equipment, linen, all safety equipment, charts and cruising guide, etc. are usually included
Do you only book 'late' charters?
No. However far in advance you wish to book we will endeavour to get the best possible price for your charter.
Please explain the date and number of days format.
Each date is shown as day/month. If we show (say) 10/May to 27/July, 7 days, then we show the seven day price. However the yacht is available for ten, fourteen or twenty one day charters in that period. It is likely that a longer charter will attract a bigger discount, so please contact us for price information.
What paperwork and information can I expect, and when?
When you confirm your booking we send you two forms for completion - our booking form and the yacht operator's contract. Once you return the completed/signed forms we send you another pack containing base information, contact details and boarding pass (if required).
Can you help with flights?
If you are travelling from the U.S. to the Caribbean we recommend Gerling Travel. Please call 1-888-838-2930 or www.gerlingtravel.com. Please mention latesail.com.
Do I need insurance?
We strongly recommend vacation insurance which can easily be obtained through a host of agents available on the internet. On all yacht charters it is necessary to leave a refundable security deposit, this is normally paid by credit card on embarkation. It may be possible to insure this subject to whether an insurance scheme is run by the operator.
How often is the site updated?
The website is updated daily or as needed depending on updates from charter operators.
Does the site cover every charter operator?
We certainly try to cover every operator that meets our criteria and currently we have over ninety on the books. Please note that some operators are occasionally slow in advising us when a boat has been booked and is no longer available - so please check availability with us.
