Sailboat Beneteau Oceanis Clipper 311 · 2002 (refit 2022) · Belle

For boat rentals without skipper, the customer doing the reservation must be the captain/skipper and must have, at least, 21 years old. The customer must have a valid navigation and VHF operator license, being the minimum required day/local skipper. Copy of navigation license and ID document must be sent prior to the reservation.

Navigation licenses will be validated accordingly with Sail by the Sea understanding of DGRM (Portuguese Maritime Authority) rules.

Navigation licenses absent from this list may require DGRM validation.

For the first boat reservation without skipper, the customer understands that a mandatory prior onboarding session will take place to assess the customer abilities to maneuver a sailboat.

This session will be scheduled for rental without skipper, after reservation is confirmed. It will take approximately 2 hours and aims to:

·        Present the vessel and the way in which the main systems work (e.g. electricity, navigation equipment, safety equipment, gas, toilet, cleaning, fuel and water);

·        Validate the customer’s ability to perform maneuvers in the marina and to anchor;

·        Validate the customer’s ability for sailing (e.g. hoisting and lowering sails, points of sail, trim sails, reefing and heaving to).

The reservation only allows the onboarding session for one person, that must be the skipper.

If the customer does not demonstrate the necessary skills during the onboarding session, Sail by the Sea reserves the right to cancel the reservation and charge the entire amount.

For the Onboarding session the client must bring the Navigation license and ID Document.

Caution deposit must be payed prior to check-in by wire transfer to IBAN PT50 0007 0000 0056 3744 3102 3.

In rental without skipper, a cost of €6 for fuel will be applied for each hour carried out by motor. On the last day, the customer must leave on the navigation table the total amount corresponding to the number of hours spent by motor. The customer cannot fill the fuel without prior authorization from Sail by the Sea. 

Sail by the Sea may cancel any reservations, at any moment, for technical reasons, weather conditions (IPMA - Portuguese Institute for Sea and Atmosphere, yellow or higher alerts for wind or sea conditions; 25knots of wind and above), legal limitations, or other reason beyond control of Sail by the Sea. However, Sail by the Sea will try, as much as possible, to ensure all reservations.
