| • Which days of the week can I begin and end my charter? |
| Sailing yacht charters begin and end on Saturdays for multiples of seven days. In the low and medium season and depending on yacht availability, this may be flexible. In any case (also period A/ high season) we will try to accommodate your wishes for different days of the week and uneven periods of time, such as a ten or twelve-day charter. |
| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| • When do charters begin and end? |
All charters are weekly (seven days or more), begin at 17:00 on the day of departure (normally Saturdays) and end at 09:00 on the day of arrival (normally Saturdays). Medisailing ensures that yachts are always delivered to the next charter in perfect working order. We can deliver your charter yacht earlier on the day of embarkation, without compromising our standards, we will, but this cannot be guaranteed.

| • What qualifications do I need to charter a bareboat sailing yacht? |
Bareboat yacht charter (in Greece) legally requires two crew members capable of commanding the vessel. The skipper should have an appropriate, recognized sailing certificate, or demonstrate sailing club membership. If not issued by an EU member state, certification should carry a translation in Greek or English. An official declaration stating the skippers competence may be also required if the harbour authority considers this necessary.
The co skipper should provide similar certification to the skipper, but may otherwise complete sign a self-declaration for the port authority. Both skipper and co-skipper may also be required to submit a sailing resume to enable us to assess their ability to sail safely. |

| • What about skippered charters? |
| If you need a skipper, we can recommend a professional skipper for as many days as you wish. Even if you have experience in sailing, you may still require the services of a skipper to make your cruise more relaxing and benefit from the skipper’s local knowledge. There is a set daily fee of 150€ per day for the skipper regardless of the number of people on board. Please remember that the skipper needs to be provided with his own cabin, as he is obliged to sleep on board. |
