SHOES: Please do not wear leather and/or high heel shoes on the yacht. You have the choice to wear rubber sole shoes
or slippers or walk around barefoot.

CIGARETTES: Smoking in cabins is strictly forbidden and dangerous. In order to prevent fires, please do not lock your
doors. Please take care when smoking on deck and lounging areas since it can be quite windy when in transit.

SAFE BOX: You can entrust your valuables with the captain or use the safe box in your cabin if available. A paper can
be provided to list your items and signed by you and your captain.

LIGHTS: If you are not in your cabin, please remember to turn off the lights. By doing so, will reduce fuel consumption
and help to protect the environment.

CLEANING: Before boarding, the yacht will be cleaned from top to bottom. Sheets and towels are renewed and
changed twice a week or more if requested by guests. During the tour, the deck and bathrooms are cleaned every day.

DECK: Please keep care of your belongings. Particularly on windy days. Things may fly and fall into the sea. Your agent
and the boat owner as well as the crew do not take responsibility for any items damaged, lost or stolen.

BE CAREFUL: Please be careful when walking around, inside and outside of the yacht from ropes, porthole edges,
wires, steps on the deck, propellers and screws and open deck window on the forward deck by the sun mats. Also,
the salon may be mopped and floors wet. Please be careful when walking around these areas.

HOT WATER: Water is heated with the generators and/or solar panels on board.

TOILET PAPER: Please throw paper into the waste bins in the bathrooms. Paper thrown into the toilets will cause a
blockage in the drainage system. Paper bins are cleaned every day.

PORTHOLES (windows): Please keep them closed while sailing if possible. Your bed and belongings may get wet
because of the waves.

LAUNDRY: If your yacht has laundry facilities on board: Your personal laundry is not included in the charter fee and
only for the yacht’s own laundry. This may be different, if you have made arrangements with the boat or your agent
otherwise in advance. Please refrain from jumping in the water with your normal clothes on and respect the facilities
available to you if agreed upon for use.

SALT WATER: When you have come out of the sea, please use the deck shower (located by the sea ladder) to wash off
the salt water before using any of the lounging cushions found both at the aft deck and forward deck areas, as well as
the chairs in the dining area. You might like to also lay or sit on the beach towels.

WATERSPORTS: Please always stay in sight of the gulet and let someone know where you are going. A crew member
may monitor guests using water toys at all times until they come back on board the yacht.

DIVING, JUMPING, RUNNING:


• Please do not dive or jump while the engine is on. The captain may manoeuvre the yacht and not see you. For
your own safety please wait until the engine is turned off and the swimming ladder has been lowered.
• Do not climb the pillars or jump from them. Please also do not jump from the sides of the boat and use
the sea ladder located on the side of the boat.
• Do not run while the boat is underway. Do not run with wet feet especially inside of the boat as you may slip
and fall. Please be careful of ropes and other sailing equipment when walking on the decks.
