How online reservation works:
The RESERVE feature on IYC.COM allows users to quickly and easily place a reservation request for a yacht charter of 7 days or more for their desired dates.
Once the user has selected their preferred vessel and dates, they are asked to authorize 5% of the total charter fee on their card, with a minimum required amount of €2.500, to place a priority reservation request on the yacht. This 5% deposit acts as a placeholder for the reservation until the yacht owner accepts the request, a contract is signed, and the remaining charter deposit is paid. At this point, the reservation will become a confirmed booking with the 5% deposit being charged to the user’s credit or debit card. Users have full flexibility in the reservation process, and can choose to cancel at any time before signing the Charter Agreement.
A secure process
IYC’s online charter yacht reservation process is secure, utilizing the latest SSL encryption technology to protect all personal and financial information. We also maintain PCI compliance and use advanced fraud detection methods to ensure your payment is safe.
