You can make a booking by completing payment directly on our website or alternatively by sending us a booking request via WhatsApp / e-mail. If choosing the option of WhatsApp / e-mail, then your personal manager will send you an Invoice and a payment link for you to complete.

Once the reservation is made, we will send you the following documents from the Charter company: a contract, base info, and a crew list. Please note that we issue these documents from the Charter Company, so it can take some time to receive them (we appreciate your patience).

We receive these documents from the Charter Company directly. Usually, they send them within 1 day after the booking was paid for. Occassionally, and particularly on weekends or holidays, it may take slightly longer. Don't worry though, we are always doing our best to get the documents and send them to you as quickly as possible. We will send the documents to your e-mail.

If you want to change the boat: In case you need a bigger or smaller boat (depending on a change in the number of passengers), please send your request to our team via e-mail or WhatsApp with the exact details of what size boat you need. We will reply to you about the availability of alternative boat replacement options at your charter company.

If you want to change the country of the charter: this option might be available for some charter companies but not for all of them. Please note that if you change the charter country, you will also need to change the boat, depending on the available options in the fleet of the new country. The price can change. Check if this option is available with the manager via e-mail or WhatsApp.

If you want to change your charter dates: Please note that charter prices may change depending on the season and differences in dates. Check the availability of your boat on the desired dates with the manager via e-mail or WhatsApp.

If you decide to cancel your reservation, please carefully read your contract/terms & conditions that you were sent at the beginning of your reservation along with the package of documents and our legal notice – https://searadar.com/legal-notice.

To ensure your peace of mind and protect you from unforeseen circumstances, we recommend considering three types of insurance options:

Typically, charter companies require a deposit as security against potential damages or incidents during your charter. However, with our FDP (Free Deposit Pack) product, you can eliminate the need for a deposit altogether. You pay just 20% of the required deposit amount (non-refundable) and we will take care of the rest. Check more details here — https://searadar.com/fdp

2. Skipper's Liability Insurance
This type of insurance provides coverage for injuries and damage to property that may occur during your charter. It ensures that you are protected in the unfortunate event of accidents or damages that may occur during your charter. We recommend Schomacker insurance — https://www.schomacker.de/en/charter-insurance/skipper-liability.html?pid=a1659
