Hello, We apologize for the inconvenience you...

Hello,

We apologize for the inconvenience you experienced during your charter.

When you initially reported the situation to us, we promptly contacted the charter company. They informed us that the window fell out due to the severe storm and waves that hit the yacht. Prior warnings about the adverse weather conditions, including 40 knot winds, were provided, but unfortunately, they were disregarded. It’s worth noting that such incidents can occur when sailing in dangerous weather conditions, especially considering the age of the yacht (built in 2002). Furthermore, sailing with a broken window in the rain posed a safety risk as it is located in the vicinity of the AC electronic system.

The terms and conditions of your charter contract explicitly state that "The End User is obliged not to leave a port or anchorage if the wind force is or is predicted to be over 30 knots, or if the harbour Authorities have imposed a prohibition of sailing…"

Despite the breach of the contractual terms by sailing in unfavorable weather conditions, the charter company did not charge you for the broken window. Unfortunately, due to the inclement weather, the repair team was unable to reach you in time to replace the window.

Additionally, the charter company informed us that they covered the expenses for your mooring in Hvar (since you had to sail there for window repair) and arranged for your transfer from the airport to the base and vice versa, without requesting any compensation from you.

We understand the frustration caused by these circumstances. As of now, we have not received any documentation regarding the issue you raised, which prevents us from seeking compensation from the charter company on your behalf. Thank you for your understanding.

Best regards,
SEARADAR team
