The operator timeline

Most of the operators we work with follow the MYBA sliding scale. The dates count back from your check-in day.

A handful of operators run a stricter scale in peak season. If yours does, it is on your quote before you pay the deposit — never after.

  1. 8+ weeks outFull refund of the deposit, less an admin fee of €100–€250.
  2. 6–8 weeksThe deposit is forfeit — typically 30% of the charter fee.
  3. 4–6 weeks60% of the charter fee is forfeit.
  4. Under 4 weeks100% of the charter fee is forfeit — unless the operator re-sells the boat, in which case you get the resale price back, less their admin fee.
