Payments

Payment may be made by bank wire transfer or credit card (CC).
A 4.9% processing fee applies to all credit card payments.

All bookings made within seven (7) days of the cruise date must be paid by credit card. This is to ensure that funds are received and cleared prior to charter commencement, as cross-border bank transfers can take 3–5 business days to process. Timely receipt of funds is essential so we can remit payment to the yacht operators in advance of the charter.
