From your initial enquiry until you return from your yacht charter, the team at Topline Yacht Charters is here to help you.

Once we receive an initial enquiry from a client, we will work tirelessly to prepare a shortlist of recommended yachts that suit their specific critieria (whether that's a need for a yacht offering specific watersports, special dietary requirements or a particular budget).

We will maintain an ongoing dialogue (and are available 24/7) either by email or telephone, whichever is most convenient, to ensure that our client has all the information needed to make a selection.

We recommend that while deciding which yacht to book, we place a hold on the dates of the shortlisted yachts. This doesn't obligate you, but it places a reservation and means that if another broker has interested clients they have to notify us first.

Once you have decided which yacht you would like to book, we will then send you a contract. This is signed and witnessed by the client and the captain.

A 50% deposit is then required to confirm the charter (25% if arranged more than six months in advance).

The balance is due 45 days before the start of the charter.

A few weeks prior to charter we will email you a Preference Sheet. This requests information about the group, including food and drink likes and dislikes and asks about the type of sailing vacation you would like and the type of activities you enjoy. This enables your crew to plan in advance to make sure your charter is exactly as you want it to be.

Then, you're good to go. We'll work with you and the Captain to fine tune any last minute arrangements then all you have to worry about is relaxing and having a good time.
