Terms and Conditions

1. Reservation and Payment

Boat reservations can be made through our website www.abruzzoskipper.com, by email, by phone, or in person at our offices. The rental service can only be provided after payment has been made as follows:

• For daily experiences: 100% upon booking;
• For experiences lasting more than 1 day: 50% upon booking and 50% 30 days before departure.

1.1 Passenger Boarding – Maxi Rib 1, 2, and 3

Tours aboard the Maxi Rib 1, 2, and 3 sister boats will only be confirmed once a minimum of 10 participants has been reached (maximum 12 per boat), or with a group consisting of 8 adults and 4 children. Once the maximum number of participants has been reached on one boat, we will proceed to fill the remaining boats.

If the minimum number of participants is not reached at the selected port (minimum of 10 passengers for departure), the company reserves the right to combine reservations from both Marina Sveva locations: Montenero di Bisaccia and Marina di San Pietro in Termoli. In that case, departure and return times may be subject to a change of approximately 30 minutes.

The reservations office will notify you of any changes before departure.

To have exclusive use of the boat, you must reserve all 12 available seats.

If the minimum number of participants is not reached, Elite Travels Charter Srls reserves the right—but is under no obligation—to offer one of the following alternative solutions:

  1. The experience may be conducted on the same day aboard another vessel— only if it is available and already scheduled to depart—provided that the vessel belongs to the same or a higher category.
  2. Rescheduling of the experience to a later date, to be arranged with the office based on availability.
  3. Issuance of a voucher of equal value, valid for 24 months, transferable, and redeemable for any experience offered by the company.

Important: If the actual number of passengers on board is fewer than the number of reservations, no refund will be provided for unoccupied seats.

For individual passenger reservations, if the minimum number of participants is not reached at the selected port (minimum of 10 passengers for departure), the company reserves the right to combine reservations from both departure points. In this case, departure and return times may be subject to a change of approximately 30 minutes. Any changes will be communicated by the reservations office prior to departure.

Reduced rate for children

For each boat reserved, the maximum number of children eligible for the reduced rate (ages 3 to 10) is 4. If there are more than 4 children, the adult rate will apply starting with the fifth child.

3. Itineraries and Routes

The cruise itinerary may vary from day to day at the skipper’s discretion, depending on weather and sea conditions or other navigation or mooring requirements. Elite Travels Charter Srls, as the charter company, shall not be liable in any way for changes to the itinerary, stops, delays, and/or interruptions resulting from actions or decisions taken by the skipper to ensure navigational safety, particularly due to adverse weather conditions. Based on marine weather reports, the vessel owner reserves the right to decide whether or not the vessel will depart. Therefore, the ticket price will not be refunded if the customer refuses to travel.

4. Cancellation of the Rental

In the event that the renter cancels the reservation, the amount paid at the time of cancellation will not be refunded.

5. Responsibilities of the Lessee/Lessor

Elite Travels Charter Srls is committed to providing guests with a vessel that is spotlessly clean and in perfect working order, in compliance with all applicable regulations, and equipped with all the safety equipment required for the type of navigation to be undertaken.

If the trip cannot take place due to exceptional circumstances related to mechanical breakdowns of the vessel, the company agrees to refund the full amount received. Elite Travels Charter Srls declares that it has taken out the insurance required by law.

6. Responsibilities of the Renter/Lessee

During the rental or lease period, the renter/lessee agrees to use the boat with respect and care, in accordance with the provided instructions. Any damage caused by the renter/lessee to the boat will be assessed and charged to the renter/lessee.

6. Cancellation Due to Bad Weather

In the event of inclement weather, the reservations office will contact customers directly to inform them of any changes or cancellations to their departure.

  • For departures with check-in at 8:30 a.m., notifications will be sent by 9:00 p.m. the day before.
  • For departures with check-in at 7:00 p.m., notifications will be sent by 1:00 p.m. on the same day.

In the event of adverse weather or sea conditions, Elite Travels Charter Srls, as the charter company for daily charters, undertakes to:

  1. Reschedule the experience for a later date, in accordance with the availability calendar to be agreed upon with the office;
  2. Issue a gift certificate valid for 24 months in the amount of the payment made;

For experiences lasting more than 1 day, if sea and weather conditions do not allow for departure at the scheduled time, boarding is guaranteed in any case. You will wait on board the vessel, enjoying all included services, until conditions improve enough to set sail. Typically, the time required for weather conditions to improve does not exceed 36 hours. For this reason, no refund will be provided, as this contract pertains to the charter of the vessel and not to the tour itself.

In the event that, the booked experience includes a transfer to the port of embarkation and that transfer is also impossible due to unfavorable weather and sea conditions, the undersigned agency will, while waiting to set sail, arrange for alternative overnight accommodations at a lodging facility or, alternatively, on board a higher-class vessel.

7. Data Processing

The data provided will be stored and processed by Elite Travels Charters Srls (as the data controller) exclusively for contractual and accounting purposes, in full compliance with the Personal Data Protection Code pursuant to European Regulation 679/2016.
