This will be refunded (less any sums deducted for damages) at the end of your trip. Payment can usually be made by credit, debit card or cash. We strongly advise for the whole crew, or if not the whole crew at least the Crew Leader, to be present at check out in order to contest any deductions. If you or the Crew Leader is not present, the skipper will be forced to sign off on deductions not attributable to him, which could risk the partial/whole loss of your deposit. You are responsible for the whole yacht and not just your proportion or cabin.
