FAQ
·What shall I wear?
A hat and sunglasses are useful accessories that can protect you from overexposure to the sun. Light clothing can be comfortable in summer heat conditions.
·What shoes shall I choose?
At the deck of the boat we don’t use shoes, barefoot is comfortable and easy. But if you want to walk on shore, a pair of flip flops or sandals can be a pretty comfortable choice. In case that you would like to hike inland, away from shores ,as if you would like to visit the castle at the top of Gramvousa island, then for this 1/2hour walk at the Ballos cruise, a pair of sneakers will do the job perfectly.

·What if the weather conditions are bad?
Then we cancel the cruise and you get a full refund of the cost. Alternatively, you can choose to pick another cruise , to a destination less exposed to the specific weather conditions, according to the yacht captain proposal, or you can change time and day of the cruise, according to the yacht charter availability. It's your decision which of those three options you might follow.
·Who can decide if the weather is bad?
The first restriction is for safety reasons. The Hellenic coast guard is responsible to cancel all sea journeys when the sea conditions or the weather forecast prediction are bad at that time or the near future. The second restriction is for your comfort. Even if there is no safety issue, the yacht captain is authorized to decide the cancelation of a cruise, in case that the weather conditions at a cruise are off pleasure limits. In both cases, the paid cruise cost is fully refundable.
·Are there other reasons, aside from the weather, which can cause the cancelation of a cruise ?
Yes , the captain has the authority to cancel the cruise, if he decides that your comfort or safety is in danger for any technical reason. In this case, the paid cruise cost is fully refundable.
·Can I recall my booked cruise?
Yes of course you can, and the 50% of the total cost of the cruise is refundable.
