What is the yacht charter agreement for a Grenadines charter?

It is the MYBA-standard contract between you and the yacht’s owner, naming the boat, the dates, the embarkation point, the fee and the payment schedule.

It also sets out what happens if the yacht becomes unavailable, how the APA is accounted for, and the cruising area you are contracted to. We read it with you line by line before anything is signed.

We are not a party to it. Our job is to make sure it says what you were promised, and to argue the clauses that do not.
