What happens if my flight is delayed and I miss the planned embarkation time?

Answer

The appropriate response depends on the circumstances, the yacht’s location and the terms of the charter agreement.

Guests should contact their broker or the designated yacht representative as soon as a significant travel delay becomes known.

The crew may be able to adjust the embarkation arrangements, but this is not guaranteed if the delay affects the yacht’s planned movements or other operational commitments.

Analysis

Travel delays are one reason to allow sensible time between flights and embarkation.

The yacht cannot necessarily remain indefinitely at a particular port if it has an agreed itinerary or berth arrangements.

Broker’s advice

If your flight is delayed, tell us immediately. Early communication gives the captain and crew the greatest opportunity to adjust the plan rather than discovering the problem when the yacht is already due to depart.
