Price is an important factor when planning a sailing trip. You should set a clear budget from the beginning and allow for all the necessary additional costs such as fuel, gratuity and dining expenses. We list the costs on each and every boat so only you know what your comfort level or ability to pay level is.
You are able to pay for your boat in 2 ways – via PayPal or by credit card (MasterCard, Visa or AMEX). Visit Make a Payment page for easy-to-use payment interface.
Most harbors and marinas have convenient or semi convenient parking facilities. You should check what kind of parking they provide beforehand and be sure not to leave any valuables in the car.
These vary from boat to boat and are based on the size, age and model of the boat. The driving force of the boat and the area you are travelling in also need to be taken into account. You should ask the boat provider for a safety briefing. Rules such as No-Smoking, jumping while boat is moving at high speeds or jumping in the water with a strong current are basic and must-follow rules on all boats.
This unpleasant experience can be prevented and treated. Find out what to do when suffering from seasickness.
Always ask YACHT HAMPTON by phone or email if you can take an animal on board before arrival. If you do not ask permission, we may be more inclined to say no and pet care for the time you are away may be hard to find. Multiple high-energy pets can make any boat experience more unsafe than you or we would like. Generally, we are pet-friendly up to 1 pet on most vessels, especially if the pet is subdued.
Usually we will correct any faults immediately before leaving the dock. We mitigate this by providing newer vessels, in some case vessels under 2-3 years old. In exceptions, we can issue a discount, offer more free time, or switch you to one of our other boats. As all boat owners know, boats can be difficult and they are much more complicated than autos and prone to have more issues. We are experienced in boating so let us work on remedying the situation, while you sit back and relax and enjoy the ocean breezes, a cocktail and your friends.
It is possible to book short trips, but most charters run for 4 hours as the standard. We do have some select 3 hour bookings and allow 2 hour bookings off season.
We do not charge you for the use of the platform – there are no booking fees - the only costs involved are once a boat has been booked and confirmed.
