Preamble

• These agreements apply to all sailing charter related activities.
• The basic principle is that it is clear and manageable for all owners, crew members and customers.

• In the agreement, indicate the maximum number of customers that can be on board at the same time. The guideline is the prescribed group size / composition as determined in the emergency measures.
• No catering is provided “on board”. Any consumption goods are taken by the customer or supplied before departure by an external company.
• Ensure maximum hygiene, with extra attention to the time to be taken care of.
• Provide clear protocols regarding customer handling, safety instruction and awareness.
• If updates are made to these agreements, they will be communicated as soon as possible

For entrepreneurs who are unable to guarantee 1.5 metres due to exceptional circumstances

• Ask the customer for a general statement on passenger health based on applicable guidelines.
• Make sure that the crew with customer contact measures their temperature every morning (so that customer safety is guaranteed).

For customers

• Always follow the instructions of the crew. There is a strict hierarchy on board whereby the skippers instructions must be followed at all times.
• Only come with the permitted and agreed group composition.
• Do not come to the ship if you have a cold or flu symptoms.
