Terms and Conditions

Reservations & Payments
A booking will be confirmed when Devon Princess Cruises have received a completed, signed booking form or letter with a non-refundable deposit. A provisional booking will only be held for seven days. If no form/letter or deposit are received within that time the date will become available for other clients.

The balance of all monies (cleared funds) must be received before the date of the voyage to guarantee the vessel. Without full payment Devon Princess Cruises will not supply the vessel for the charter.

Payment can be made in cash on the day of the charter. Contact us to arrange this in advance.

Charter Times
Vessels will generally be ready for embarkation 15 minutes prior to the booked time and will return to the disembarkation pier approximately 15 minutes prior to disembarkation time. To meet local regulations, bars will begin to close at this time. Every effort will be made to adhere to agreed time of sailing. However all trips are subject to weather and circumstances permitting.

Captains Control of the Vessel
During the entire hire period, the vessel will remain under absolute control of the Captain and / or his crew as provided by the owners. If for weather, tidal or other reasons the Captain considers it necessary to vary the scheduled trip, his decision will be final.
The Captain has the right to refuse passage to any person or persons. The reasons for such refusal need not be stated, but will be in the interests of the owners, vessel or persons and crew embarked.

Damage & Loss
The Hirers are liable for any loss or damage to the vessel or equipment caused by them or by the persons in the party. The organiser is invited to inspect the vessel prior to the embarkation of the party.

Safety
All vessels owned and operated by Devon Princess Cruises fully comply with MCA Regulations including life saving appliances, insurance coverage and crewing. For further information please liaise with our office staff.
