General Terms and Conditions
Location
The boats Ponax (yacht) and Triton (motor boat) are positioned in the port of Porto Lagos (Xanthi), Greece. Upon request by the client, they can also be rented from the port of Fanari.
Route negotiation
The duration and destination of your sailing trip depend entirely on your preference. The route is discussed with our team and agreed upon after receiving a reservation request. The final decision on the route depends on the weather forecast for your chosen time period.
Boat with or without a skipper
The motorboat Triton can be only rented with a skipper from OK Sailing.
The sailing yacht Ponax can be rented without skipper under the following conditions:
• Availability of a qualified captain (skipper) with valid sailing license for sailing boats.
• Availability of a second crew member with valid sailing license for sailing boats (aside from the captain).
The crew requesting to rent the boat without a skipper may be required to demonstrate their sailing skills at the rental port.

Payment
The final payment for the service is made by bank transfer until the day before departure (you need to provide a payment document) or on the day of departure at the company’s office in Porto Lagos.
Payments are made by bank transfer to the following bank account:
OK-Sailing O.E., Porto Lagos, Greece
IBAN: GR0402603140000360201724036
BIC / SWIFT: ERBKGRAA
EuroBank S.A. Xanthi, Greece
Payments can also be made at the company’s office in Porto Lagos via POS terminal or in cash.
Deposit
The boats and their equipment are covered by marine insurance, which provides coverage for natural disasters, theft, vandalism, and damage exceeding 2000 euros. The boat renter is relieved of responsibility covered by the insurance policy provided that such loss or damage is not caused or contributed to by an act of negligence or intentional non-compliance from their side.
When renting the boat, a deposit of 2000 euros (not covered by the insurance policy) is required. The deposit is secured by blocking an amount on a credit card.
The deposit will be refunded to the customer after inspection by a representative of OK Sailing of the boat, its equipment, and inventory. In the case of damages that are not covered by the boat’s insurance, they are described, assessed by an external competent person, and the amount is deducted from the deposit.
Medical insurance
OK Sailing recommends to its clients, as part of their preparation for their sailing experience, to obtain medical insurance for extreme sports – for each person in the crew.
Preparation for sailing
Port Authority (Hellenic coast guard) requires the submission of a crew and passenger list and a signed boat rental agreement. To prepare the boat and the necessary documents for sailing, we require you to send us in advance the data of all passengers – names, addresses, ID card details and contact information – phone and email.
The information will be requested by email before sailing. If you do not wish to provide them, the crew list can be completed and certified on-site before departure. However, you will need to wait indefinitely, depending on the workload of the border control service.
Onboard conditions
The boats are fully equipped and furnished for sailing, including kitchen equipment, bedding, towels, and life jackets. Onboard, you will find entertaining games and an OK Sailing library.
Due to the limited space on the boat, we recommend not using a suitcase for packing but instead opting for a soft duffel bag. Also, we advise optimizing the quantity of items accompanying you onboard to a minimum.
