Website information
The information on this website is for general information about yacht charters, boats, experiences and related services.
We make every effort to keep it accurate and up to date, but boat details, prices, availability and service descriptions may change without notice.
Nothing on this website is professional advice or a contractual offer.
Charter bookings
Yacht Hire Cape Town acts as a booking agent, arranging reservations between clients and independent boat operators.
We do not own or operate the boats and do not control the day-to-day running of any boat.
Boats, captains, crew, catering, entertainment and other services are supplied and operated by independent boat operators or third-party suppliers.
Operational decisions, including routes, safety procedures, weather calls, passenger conduct and how the charter is run, stay with the boat operator and the captain.
The captain's authority
All charters run under the authority of the captain, who may decide to:
- change the route
- adjust departure or return times
- stay within sheltered waters
- return to harbour
- end a charter where this is needed for safety
These decisions are made for the safety and comfort of passengers and are final.
Weather and sea conditions
Charters take place at sea and depend on the weather and sea conditions, which can change quickly and affect the experience.
The captain may change the route, shorten the trip or return to harbour if conditions affect passenger comfort or safety. Such decisions are not grounds for a refund or compensation.
Events and functions
If you book a charter for a corporate event, celebration or special occasion, you accept that weather and sea conditions may affect planned activities such as dining, dancing, filming or entertainment.
We cannot guarantee that an event will happen exactly as planned.
Third-party services
Extras such as catering, DJs, entertainment, photographers, transport, decor, jet skis or other add-ons may be supplied by independent suppliers.
We act only as a booking intermediary and are not responsible for the delivery, quality, timing or performance of these services. Disputes about them must be taken up with the supplier or boat operator concerned.
