Fuel Included in Rentals without a License

The reservation price published on our website includes gasoline for the contracted time and route for all boat rentals without a license from our fleet.

Fuel for Rentals with a Captain or License

For rentals of boats that include the captain’s service (or with a navigation license), fuel is not included in the reservation price, unless otherwise indicated. In general, the boat is delivered with a full tank and must be returned in the same condition, although this is a detail that you can check and that will be explained to you during check-in.

Fuel Consumption Factors

The fuel consumption of a boat, like that of any motor vehicle, is variable. In this case, it will depend on the sea conditions, the load of the boat (number of people on board), and of course, the running time and speed.

Estimating Fuel Consumption

If you would like to know a preliminary estimate of the consumption for each option, please review the information described in the characteristics section of the boat.

Additional Notes: Please note that this fuel policy is subject to change. Please refer to our rental agreement for the most up-to-date information. In any case, if you want to know in advance an estimate of consumption for each option, check the information described in the boat characteristics section.

Security Deposit

A security deposit (refundable deposit) will be required upon boarding to cover any potential liabilities you may incur in connection with the rental. The amounts are specified in the characteristics section of the boat. You can pay the amount in cash, by bank transfer before boarding, or by credit card. It will be returned to you as soon as possible, after checking that there are no liabilities, following the inspection of the boat at check-out.

Responsibility for Damages

As the renter, you will be responsible for any breakdowns, damage, imperfections, and losses that occur, excluding normal wear and tear of the boat and its equipment.

Boat Inspection

Our boats are always checked by our expert agents, at check-out and during cleaning. It is also the responsibility of the renter to inspect the boat for any damage before leaving the marina, and even take photos if they consider it necessary and gives them peace of mind. If you discover any damage, you can quickly notify us about it so that we can take it into account.

Consequences of Non-Payment

In any case, if you fail to pay the agreed price or the security deposit within the agreed terms and deadlines, you breach the contract and no refund will be made.

Fuel Policy for Rentals without a Captain or License

For rentals that do not include fuel, the boat must be returned with the tank full, or in the same condition as when it was boarded, otherwise the filling costs will also be deducted from the security deposit.

The license requirements for renting a boat from Martiners Boats depend on the specific boat you are interested in, as per current Spanish legislation. You can find the specific license requirements for each boat in the characteristics section of our website.

We offer several options for renting a boat without a captain:

• No license required: For boats that do not require a license, you can rent them without any prior boating experience or certification.
• License required: For boats that require a license, you will need to present a valid boating license upon boarding.
• Professional skipper: You can also choose to rent a boat with a professional skipper, who will be responsible for operating the boat and ensuring your safety.

Age Requirement

In all cases, you must be over 18 years old to rent a boat.

Denial of Rental

Martiners Boats reserves the right to deny the rental of a boat at the time of boarding if the skipper lacks the sufficient knowledge, license, or experience to safely carry out the planned route. This will not be a justified reason for cancellation of the reservation by the renter. In other words, if you pay the reservation, you are stating that you meet the requirements and are accepting the terms and conditions.

The cancellation policy provided states that cancellations are free of charge under certain circumstances, but it also mentions that the customer is not entitled to any compensation for cancellation. Here’s a summary of the cancellation policy:

Free Cancellation:

• 30 days or more before check-in: You can cancel your reservation free of charge if you do so at least 30 days before your scheduled check-in date.

• Force majeure: You can cancel your reservation free of charge if you are unable to attend due to unforeseen circumstances beyond your control, such as a natural disaster or illness.

• Unfavorable weather conditions: You can cancel your reservation free of charge if the weather forecast predicts conditions that make it unsafe to operate the boat.

• Boat unavailability: You can cancel your reservation free of charge if Martiners Boats is unable to provide you with the boat you reserved due to reasons beyond their control.

No Compensation for Cancellation:

Regardless of the reason for cancellation, you are not entitled to any compensation from Martiners Boats. This means that you will not receive a refund for any additional expenses you may have incurred in anticipation of your trip, such as travel arrangements or accommodation.

Of course! all Martiners Boats rentals are insured in accordance with all applicable state and regional nautical legislation for responsible chartering. You can review the specific insurance coverage details in the rental contract.

Exclusions

The insurance coverage does not extend to activities carried out overboard, such as towing of artifacts such as bananas, inflatable rings, pneumatic wheels, parasailing, and other related activities.

Renter’s Liability

Beyond the insurance coverage provided, the renter will be personally and directly responsible for any liabilities of any kind that may arise from breach of the contract while the boat is in their possession. The renter will be jointly responsible with the skipper they designate for the skipper’s actions and any irresponsibility in which they may incur. The renter will be directly responsible for any claims that may be filed against them by any third party, thereby releasing the lessor from any liability.

Martiners Boats has insured boats under the conditions that you can review in the rental contract.

Activities carried out offboard are excluded, such as those that involve the dragging of devices such as bananas, donuts, pneumatic wheels, parasailing and other related activities.

Beyond the coverage of the insurance, the tenant will be respond directly for any liabilities that may occur due to breach of the contract while the boat is in his possession. The tenant will respond jointly with the skipper designated by him, for the actions of irresponsibility that he may incur. The tenant will respond directly to the claims that any third party may formulate against him, releasing the lessor from all kinds of responsibility.

Contact Us First

If you find yourself running late for your boat rental return, please contact Martiners Boats as soon as possible. We may be able to make adjustments to accommodate your delay. You can reach us using the contact information provided to you upon boarding.

Late Return Fees

Late returns are subject to additional fees. The specific fees will depend on the extent of the delay and the impact it has on subsequent rentals.

Prior Notification Required

Under no circumstances should you return the boat without notifying or agreeing to it with Martiners Boats in advance. Late returns can disrupt the schedules of other customers and cause them to miss out on their planned outings.

Potential Loss of Security Deposit

A late return to the port may result in the loss of your security deposit.

Renter’s Liability

Regardless of the reason for the late return or if the boat is returned to a different location than agreed upon, the renter will be responsible for any expenses, damages, and losses incurred by the lessor and subsequent renters who were unable to take possession of the boat at the scheduled date and time.

The answer is yes.

For boats that do not require a license, you are legally not allowed to stray far from the coast. Therefore, we provide you with a safe route where you can navigate during the contracted time. In any case, we assure you that this is not an inconvenience to have a great day, as the area surrounding the Santa Ponça Yacht Club is spectacular: you can visit nature reserves and beautiful enclaves.

In general, Martiners Boats offers its boats exclusively for private recreational day cruises, and for the contracted duration. It is unlikely that you will be able to go far from the area. Due to the characteristics of their rentals, it is impossible to sail to another island or the Iberian Peninsula.

According to the regulations: The rented boat may only sail at sea at the maximum distance indicated on the boat’s current navigation certificate, or on the renter’s license if it is more restrictive. Likewise, navigation at sea is limited to Spanish jurisdictional waters in the Mediterranean Sea. Any extension of the aforementioned navigation limits will require written authorization.

Company Policy Restrictions

Martiners Boats’ company policy prohibits: any commercial activity, regattas, subletting or assignment to a third party, as well as exceeding the authorized number of passengers. You must use the boat with the diligence of a good navigator, respecting navigation and environmental protection regulations, and being responsible for any breach thereof. Likewise, you must remain or go to port in the event of a weather report with a danger warning, and agree not to leave the boat without adequate surveillance on board and inform us regularly of any eventuality. Nothing that is not common sense!
