2. BOOKINGS AND DEPOSITS

2.1 All bookings are subject to availability and are not confirmed until we have received your completed enquiry, communicated availability, and received payment of the required deposit.

2.2 A deposit of 50% of the total trip cost is required to confirm your place on board. Your place is not secured until this deposit is received.

2.3 The remaining balance is due one month before the departure date.

2.4 Payments may be made by bank transfer or WISE transfer. All payments are processed securely. We do not store full card details.

2.5 By paying your deposit, you confirm that you are 18 years of age or older and that all information you have provided is accurate and complete.

3. CANCELLATION BY YOU

3.1 All cancellation requests must be made in writing to info@sailingalisios.com or to +34 630 24 82 11.

3.2 The following cancellation policy applies:

• Cancellation more than 30 days before departure: full refund of all payments made

• Cancellation 30 days or fewer before departure: the deposit (50% of the total trip cost) is non-refundable. By this point your place has been reserved and the trip has been planned around your participation.

3.3 The remaining balance (if already paid) will be refunded in full for cancellations made more than 30 days before departure.

3.4 We strongly recommend that all participants purchase comprehensive travel insurance that includes cancellation cover. Sailing Alisios accepts no liability for costs arising from your cancellation.

4. CANCELLATION OR MODIFICATION BY SAILING ALISIOS

4.1 We reserve the right to cancel or modify any trip in the following circumstances:

• Insufficient bookings to operate the trip safely and viably

• Weather conditions or sea state that, in the captain's professional judgement, make sailing unsafe

• Mechanical failure or vessel unavailability

• Any circumstance beyond our reasonable control (see Section 9, Force Majeure)

4.2 In the event that we cancel a trip before departure, you will receive a full refund of all payments made, or the option to transfer your booking to another available date.

4.3 We will notify you of any cancellation as early as practically possible.

4.4 Beyond the refund described in 4.2, Sailing Alisios accepts no further liability for costs arising from our cancellation — including flights, accommodation, transfers, or other expenses you may have incurred. This is why we recommend comprehensive travel insurance.

4.5 The captain's decision regarding safe sailing conditions is final. Decisions made on safety grounds do not constitute a breach of contract.

5. CHANGES TO ITINERARY

5.1 All routes, anchorages, and port stops are indicative only. Sailing Alisios explicitly does not guarantee any fixed itinerary.

5.2 Routes are determined by weather, wind conditions, sea state, and the captain's professional judgement. These may change at any time, including during the trip itself.

5.3 Changes to itinerary made for reasons of safety or weather do not constitute a breach of contract and do not entitle participants to a refund or compensation.

5.4 This flexibility is fundamental to the nature of sailing and is clearly communicated as part of our offering. By booking, you confirm you understand and accept this.

6. PARTICIPANT RESPONSIBILITIES

6.1 You are responsible for ensuring that you are in adequate physical health to participate in a sailing trip. If you have any medical conditions, physical limitations, or concerns, you must disclose these to us in writing before your booking is confirmed.

6.2 You are responsible for ensuring that you hold valid travel documents — including passports, visas, and any other documentation required for the countries visited — throughout the trip.

6.3 You are responsible for your own personal property at all times. Sailing Alisios accepts no liability for loss, theft, or damage to personal belongings.

6.4 All participants must follow the safety instructions of the captain and crew at all times. The captain has ultimate authority on board and their decisions regarding safety, routing, and vessel management are final.

6.5 Behaviour that endangers the safety of other crew members, damages the vessel, or disrupts the trip may result in removal from the trip without refund.

6.6 Participants are expected to treat fellow crew members and Sailing Alisios staff with respect. We reserve the right to remove any participant whose behaviour is deemed unacceptable, without refund.

8. LIABILITY AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

8.3 To the maximum extent permitted by Spanish and applicable EU law, Sailing Alisios's liability to you is limited to the total amount paid by you for your trip.

• Costs arising from changes to itinerary made for reasons of safety or weather

8.5 Nothing in these Terms limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our own negligence, or for any liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law.

9. FORCE MAJEURE

9.1 Sailing Alisios shall not be liable for any failure or delay in performing our obligations where such failure or delay results from circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to: extreme weather events, natural disasters, acts of government or authority, port closures, strikes, pandemics, or civil unrest.

9.2 In the event of a force majeure cancellation, we will offer either a full refund of payments made or the option to transfer to an alternative date. No further compensation will be payable.

10. TRAVEL INSURANCE

10.1 Comprehensive travel insurance is recommended for all Sailing Alisios participants. We recommend that it includes at minimum: trip cancellation, medical expenses (including emergency evacuation by sea or air), and personal liability.

10.2 We recommend that your policy specifically covers sailing and maritime activities. Standard travel insurance policies sometimes exclude these — check your policy carefully.
