Legal & charter conditions

Charter Terms & Booking Policy

Savvy Sailing Charters operates private, tailored sailing experiences aboard an authentic, hand-built Caribbean sloop. By submitting a booking request and confirming a charter, you agree to the terms outlined below.

Effective November 2026

Booking Requests & Confirmation

Submitting an inquiry or booking form does not constitute a confirmed charter or guarantee date availability.
Once Captain Danny or the Savvy crew reviews your request and verifies yacht and crew availability, a formal charter quote will be issued. A charter is confirmed only upon receipt of your deposit (typically 50% of the charter fee) and written confirmation from Savvy.
The remaining charter balance is payable prior to departure or on the day of the sail via approved electronic payment, wire transfer, or cash in US Dollars (USD) or Eastern Caribbean Dollars (XCD). Payment instructions are provided personally; the website does not collect payment when you submit a request.

Pricing, Inclusions & Capacity

Rates are quoted in United States Dollars (USD) and are based on private parties of up to 4 guests, with a per-person rate for each additional guest up to a maximum capacity of 16 guests.
All charters include the private vessel, captain and crew, fuel, snorkel equipment, life jackets, and complimentary refreshments: rum punch, local beer, wines, non-alcoholic drinks, and snacks. Full-day sails include a homemade Grenadian lunch. Your written quote confirms the inclusions for your chosen experience.
Mandatory Marine Protected Area entry fees for snorkeling at the Underwater Sculpture Park or Flamingo Bay are handled and included as part of your charter arrangements.

Weather, Sea Conditions & Captain’s Discretion

Your safety, comfort, and the preservation of our wooden sloop are our highest priorities. Sailing in the Caribbean is subject to wind, swells, and squalls.
In the event of adverse sea conditions, sustained severe weather, or small-craft advisories issued by the Grenada Meteorological Service, Captain Danny reserves sole authority to delay departure, adjust the itinerary, or reschedule the sail.
If a charter cannot be rescheduled during your stay in Grenada due to weather, your deposit will be refunded in full.

Guest Cancellations & Rescheduling

Cancellations 14 or more days before departure: 100% of the deposit is refundable, less any third-party transaction or processing fees, or may be applied to an alternate date within 12 months.
Cancellations 7 to 13 days before departure: 50% of the deposit is refundable, or the full deposit may be transferred to a future sail date subject to availability.
Cancellations under 7 days before departure or no-shows: deposits are non-refundable, as the vessel and crew were reserved exclusively for your private party.
Cruise ship guests: if your cruise ship alters its itinerary or cancels its port call in St. George’s, your deposit will be refunded upon notice.

Safety, Health & Onboard Conduct

Savvy operates as a barefoot vessel to preserve our handcrafted wooden deck. Footwear is stored securely upon boarding.
Guests participate in swimming and snorkeling at their own risk. Life vests, flotation noodles, and life rings are provided and readily available.
Please inform the crew of any severe food allergies, medical conditions, or mobility limitations at the time of booking.
Captain Danny maintains command of the vessel. Any conduct endangering guests, crew, or the vessel may result in the immediate termination of the charter without refund.
