    <\/i><\/div><\/div>[vc_column_text css=”” css_animation=”boc_animate_when_almost_visible boc_left-to-right” el_class=”no_text_transform justify”]When you submit your application, be sure to include your first and last name, as well as your telephone number and email address so that we can contact you. If, however, the applicant is not the same person to pay and sign, then we recommend that this person should be the main contact to carry out the formalities. We recommend that you have a single contact to facilitate communication and booking. Once your request has been sent, the Pelagia Yachting team will contact you within 30 minutes to fill in any missing information, and also to get to know you so that we can offer you a first selection of available boats that might match your criteria.<\/p>\n

    We’ll send you all the information you need by email or what’s app, including brochures of the boats available, details of fares, itineraries, options available on board and, last but not least, as many photos as possible. We explain each proposal clearly to avoid confusion and save you time.[\/vc_column_text]

In order to prepare the contracts, the person in charge of the booking must send us their identity card or passport, the postal address of their main place of residence, their telephone number and their personal email address. We then use all these details to draw up two separate contracts, one for the skipper and the other for the boat hire, which you will need both to sign to confirm the booking. To save time, the documents will be sent to you in an email where you can sign the contracts electronically via a platform. Finally, we will send you a secure payment link to pay the amount due online. All online payments are made by credit card only. However, we do not accept AMEX cards, and there is a 2% bank charge. A deposit will also be required prior to the start of the rental, which will be returned to you at the end of the day if no damage or incident has occurred to the boat.[\/vc_column_text]

    <\/i><\/div><\/div>[vc_column_text css=”” css_animation=”boc_animate_when_almost_visible boc_left-to-right” el_class=”no_text_transform justify”]Once the contracts have been signed, and payment accepted, a confirmation email is sent to you summarizing the request, giving you the captain’s contact details, the exact place to embark and disembark, the day’s timetable, the chosen itinerary, any additional options ordered (seabobs, snacks, champagne) etc. All that’s left to do is wait for D-Day and enjoy the French Riviera on the boat. However, in the event of a last-minute oversight, we’ll be quick to react and try to find a solution to ensure that your request is completed on time. We’ll do everything we can to make your booking a memorable and happy one.[\/vc_column_text]
