These Terms & Conditions (“Terms”) govern your use of the website, booking platform, and related services provided by MEDYACHTS (“we,” “us,” “our,” or “MEDYACHTS”), a yacht charter marketing and booking intermediary based in Cyprus.

By accessing our website, making an inquiry, requesting a quotation, or confirming a booking, you (“you,” “your,” or “Client”) agree to be bound by these Terms.

MEDYACHTS acts primarily as an intermediary connecting clients with independent third-party yacht owners, charter operators, captains, crew providers, and related suppliers.

2. SERVICES PROVIDED

MEDYACHTS offers:

• Yacht charter advertising and marketing services

• Booking facilitation for motor yachts, sailing yachts, catamarans, and other vessels

• Coordination of day charters and multi-day charter requests

• Assistance with customized routes and itineraries in Cyprus and other destinations

3. ROLE OF MEDYACHTS AS INTERMEDIARY

Unless expressly agreed otherwise in writing, MEDYACHTS:

• does not own, lease, manage, maintain, crew, insure, or operate yachts listed through the platform;

• does not act as the carrier or maritime operator of any vessel;

• does not control navigation, safety decisions, weather decisions, staffing, maintenance, or onboard operations.

All yacht charters and related services are supplied by independent third-party yacht owners or operators.

Any charter contract for the yacht service itself is between the Client and the relevant third-party provider, even where MEDYACHTS assists with communication, booking, invoicing, or payment collection.

MEDYACHTS may earn commissions, service fees, referral fees, or booking fees from completed reservations.

4. BOOKINGS AND RESERVATIONS

4.1 Booking Requests

All bookings are subject to yacht availability and acceptance by the relevant third-party provider.

A booking is confirmed only when:

• written confirmation has been issued;

• any required deposit has been received;

• any requested identification or booking details have been supplied.

Certain charters may require signed charter agreements issued by the relevant provider.

4.2 Provider Conditions

Specific yachts may be subject to additional rules, contracts, security deposits, guest limits, age limits, route restrictions, minimum booking durations, and operator terms.

Where applicable, such provider terms will also apply.

4.3 Modifications

Changes to dates, times, guest numbers, or itinerary are subject to availability and provider approval and may incur extra charges.

Requests made within 7 days of departure may be refused or subject to penalty fees.

Guest count increases beyond legal or stated yacht capacity cannot be accommodated.

Late arrivals may reduce charter time without refund where caused by the Client or guests.

5.2 Payment Collection

Payments collected by MEDYACHTS may be collected:

• storms or unsafe sea conditions;

• natural disasters;

• port restrictions;
