Frequently asked questions
A bareboat charter simply means that you are renting our yacht for a defined period of time. As you are renting under a Bareboat Charter Agreement, you have the option to operate the boat yourself if you possess the necessary licenses and proficiency for a vessel of this size. If you choose to operate the boat yourself, we will require a $1 million insurance policy and a sea-trial. Alternatively, you can hire an independent captain of your choice, provided they meet our requirement and are approved for the trip. We also offer a selection of qualified captains for your consideration. Please note that all Captain and crew expenses must be paid directly to the crew upon your arrival and before the trip commences. The Captain and first mate are independent contractors under your control for the duration of the trip. A Bareboat Charter Agreement must be executed by the Charterer before the trip begins.
In the event of extreme weather such as heavy sustained wind or a lightning storm, where it is a danger to be on the water, the owner reserves the right to reschedule the charter at no additional fee. The Captain has the final decision in determining if a charter must be rescheduled due to extreme weather. Rain or cloudy skies do not constitute grounds for cancellation or rescheduling.
All guests are required to adhere to orders from the Captain and crew. The Captain retains the authority to return to the dock in the event of any disorderly conduct or non-compliance with instructions.
While the boat is in motion, bow riding is strictly prohibited; however, guests are welcome to access the bow when the boat is safely anchored. Additionally, for safety reasons, glass bottles are not allowed on deck. Smoking is permitted solely on the aft deck.
Siren Cancellation Policy
1) Cancelling and Rescheduling
We understand that plans can change unexpectedly. The renter may cancel or reschedule without penalty by notifying us at least 7 days prior to their scheduled charter.

In the event of a rescheduled charter, the cancellation policy will be applied to the original date of the trip. 2) Late Cancellation Cancellations are considered “late” when the renter does not cancel at least 7 days prior to the scheduled charter. For late cancellations, the paid rental price and the associated service / processing fee are non refundable. 3) Provider Cancellation If, for any reason, we must cancel your scheduled charter, we will notify you as soon as possible and will work with you to reschedule or you will receive a full refund. 4) Missed Charter Cancellation If the renter misses their scheduled charter without canceling or rescheduling and in the event the renter is a no-show within one hour of the agreed rental check-in, the paid rental price and the associated service / processing fee are non refundable.
5) Inclement Weather Cancellation
In the event of extreme weather such as sustained heavy wind or a lightning storm, where it is a danger to be on the water, the owner reserves the right to reschedule the charter at no additional fee. The Captain has the final decision in determining if a charter must be rescheduled due to extreme weather. Rain or cloudy skies do not constitute grounds for cancellation or rescheduling.
6) Claims Renters have up to 12 hours after the trip to submit a claim for a partial or full refund. Documentation must be compiled and submitted to support the claim. The owner will review the evidence provided by the renter to determine the validity of the claim.
