YACHT-POOL International — Financial Security System, certified for 2026.

1. Charter Deposit Insurance

When you charter a yacht, the charter company holds a security deposit (typically €1,500–€5,000). If anything is damaged during the trip, the cost is normally deducted from the deposit. Deposit insurance reimburses this loss so a single incident doesn't ruin your holiday budget.

Excess (spoluúčast): 5% of the loss, minimum €50. Validity: 12 months, covers every charter where you are listed as skipper.
