Frequently asked questions
What is a Transit Log?
The "Transit Log" is a compulsory charter fee associated with many bookings, covering various essential services during your boat rental. It typically includes the cleaning and inspection of the boat at check-out, mooring fees for the first and last night at the marina as well as bedding and towels for everyone on board.Do I have to pay a deposit when booking a yacht?
Yes, you will have to pay a deposit when reserving a yacht on Borrow A Boat. The down payment is typically 50% of the rental price with the other half due 30-45 days before check-in.What qualifications or license do I need to hire a boat or yacht?
For bareboat yacht charters, you'll need qualifications like the RYA Day Skipper, ICC, or ASA 104. Requirements vary by destination and boat type, so confirm with the boat owner. Small 'day boats' usually don't require licenses and are called 'self-drive.' For more information, read our detailed article about license requirements.Are charter yachts insured?
By law, every charter boat must be insured. This is to protect both the owner of the boat and the renters or skippers who use it. Insurance helps cover any damages that may occur to the yacht during the rental period. The renter is liable for damages up the amount of the security deposit that was paid at check-in.
