2. Acknowledgment of Risks
I acknowledge and understand the following risks associated with yacht charter:
2.1 Maritime & Environmental Risks
- ☐ Sea conditions: Wave motion, wind, and sea swell may cause discomfort or motion sickness
- ☐ Weather: Unexpected weather changes; potential for postponement or early return to port
- ☐ Sun exposure: Risk of sunburn, dehydration, or heat exhaustion despite sun protection
- ☐ Water contact: Risk of slipping when wet; cold water temperature (varies by season)
- ☐ Marine wildlife: Encounters with fish, jellyfish, sea urchins, or other marine life
- ☐ Engine/equipment noise: Diesel engine operation may be loud; hearing protection available on request
- ☐ Confined spaces: Yacht cabins are compact; some guests may experience claustrophobia
2.2 Personal Injury Risks
- ☐ Slipping, tripping, falling: Decks can be slippery; cabins are low-ceilinged with narrow passageways
- ☐ Impact injuries: Moving vessel may cause loss of balance; sudden manoeuvres may cause injury
- ☐ Rope/line hazards: Risk of entanglement in sailing rigging or mooring lines
- ☐ Equipment operation: Any unauthorised operation of yacht controls or equipment could result in injury
2.3 Evacuation & Emergency Risks
- ☐ I understand evacuation procedures and that life jackets must be worn during mandatory drills
- ☐ In extreme emergencies, rescue operations may take 30+ minutes; rescue is provided by professional maritime services, not the yacht crew
- ☐ I accept the risks associated with emergency evacuation (motion, cold water, stress)
2.4 Limitation of Crew Rescue Capability
- ☐ The crew is trained in basic first aid, not emergency medicine
- ☐ The crew cannot perform rescues if visibility is poor or sea conditions are severe

By checking the boxes above, I acknowledge full understanding of these risks and accept them as inherent to yacht charter.
