1. General Benefits of OnSail Booking

OnSail Booking offers registered users an online platform through which owners can advertise their leisure boats for chartering. Anyone wanting to charter one of the advertised boats can search the online platform and submit a request.

You can access this website for information about the boats on offer, check their suitability and availability, and make reservation requests.

The persons advertising their boats will be hereafter referred to as the owners, while those looking to charter a boat will be referred to as clients. The term 'user' refers to both owners and clients.

We expressly advise that OnSail Booking is not the owner of any of the boats advertised nor does it have any involvement in the contracts entered into between users (owner and client).

OnSail Booking commits to offer a straightforward and efficient management service. The information shown is based on information provided by users and databases. Although we endeavor to provide accurate and timely information, we cannot be held responsible for any inaccuracies, errors, or omissions. For this reason, OnSail Booking accepts no responsibility for the actual condition of the boats reserved by the clients.

Through the online platform, OnSail Booking submits charter requests from clients to owners.

OnSail Booking offers clients an online platform for the chartering of leisure boats.

The user must ensure that their user account information is accurate and up to date at all times. If anything changes, the user should correct the information immediately. The user account is non-transferable.

Users must ensure that only they have access to their own accounts and must therefore not disclose their password to anyone.

Users are responsible for all activities related to the use of their user account. The user will not be responsible for the misuse of their user account if there has been no breach of a duty of care.

Should the user discover that a third party has gained access to their data or user account, the user must inform OnSail Booking immediately. OnSail Booking will then freeze the user account and investigate. The user will bear the costs incurred in freezing access to a user account unless OnSail Booking is found responsible for the data breach.

The owner of the boat bears responsibility for providing a complete and up-to-date description of the boat. As a minimum, the owner must provide the information requested by the client in the fields to adequately describe the boat. In addition, the owner is free to decide whether to stipulate additional conditions like deposit amount, final cleaning costs, etc.

As the owner, you understand and acknowledge that you are responsible for your own acts and omissions, and also bear responsibility for acts and omissions of anyone using your boat on your request or invitation, including the client.

All users are responsible for the content of their account and therefore assume all risks associated with this.

The account is for personal, non-commercial use. When creating your personal account, we ask that you provide complete and accurate information about yourself. You cannot impersonate another person, create or use an account on behalf of anyone other than yourself, provide an e-mail address that is not yours, or create multiple accounts.

4. Reservation procedure

- Your advisor will advise you of the boats that best suit your needs and their availability.
- You should then let us know which one you are interested in.
- We will then pre-reserve the boat with the boat owner for you and it will typically be held on reserve for between 24 hours and one week, depending on season. Please note that boat availability is not guaranteed until we have received confirmation back from the owner.
- Once the boat owner confirms the availability of your selected boat, we will send you the reservation form with all the details.
- In order to complete the reservation, you must pay the amount of the first payment, which is normally 50% of the booking fee.
- You must send us proof of payment, fill in part of the form with your personal information, and send it to us so that we can issue you a receipt or invoice for your payment.
- We will issue the corresponding receipt or invoice and notify the boat owner of the client's details.
- The client will be sent a document confirming all the details of the charter. This must be signed and returned by the client. If the document is not signed, the client will be deemed to have no objections to its content.
- The remaining 50% must be paid between 45 and 30 days prior to departure. If the balance is not paid by this deadline, the owner has every right to cancel the booking without returning the first payment deposit.
- The voucher with all the base information, contact person, and telephone number will be sent to you. You must print it out and keep it with you during the trip. You will also be sent the invoice.
- If OnSail Booking does not receive the requested information two weeks before the start of the charter, we cannot guarantee the success of the charter.
- If the reservation is confirmed less than one month before the departure date, a different procedure applies. The total amount must be paid at the time the reservation is confirmed.
