How can I register my boat?
To register one or more boats, from the Home of the website www.flegreacharter.it by clicking on “Register boat” the registration phase will begin and once completed, the control will be carried out and submitted for approval by the platform.
When registering the boat, you will need to fill in all the mandatory fields and follow the registration phase step by step; once completed, you will have your account from which you can change your availability, price, discounts and additional extras at any time.
Can any type of boat be registered?
For professional owners (rental / leasing companies) any type of boat can be registered; for private owners who use the occasional rental contract (Article 49bis CND), only boats registered with the ATCN and therefore provided with a safety certificate and registration plate. You will be able to rent your boat in complete safety and legally.
Private owners in possession of a boat, therefore, will not be able, according to current regulations, to carry out any type of rental and therefore it is not allowed to register them on the platform.
What rental price can I enter?
The rental price is at the owner’s discretion and will be entered during registration according to the period. The price can be changed over time and there is the possibility of discounting the rental of the boat for a particular period. However, it is required to enter your rental price as per the price list already applied.
What should I do if a customer books my boat?
As the owner, you will have 24 hours to confirm or decline the booking. Once you have accepted the reservation for the established date, the customer will have your contacts and vice versa.
How does it work for payment?
The customer will pay the rental price and any extras provided by the owner directly through the platform. Once the rental has been made, as per T&C, the balance of the rental will be paid excluding the platform fees.
Can I cancel a reservation that I have accepted?
Once a reservation has been accepted, the owner cannot cancel, except in exceptional cases as per T&C.
