Please read and understand the risks involved
Silver Wave Yacht Charters is committed to providing guests with exceptional and safe experiences on the water. However, as with all marine and adventure activities, there are inherent risks involved. By choosing to participate in any of our services, guests acknowledge and accept the following risks and responsibilities.
General Maritime Risks
Participation in any sailing or boating activity carries certain risks. These may include, but are not limited to:
• Minor or serious injury from boarding/disembarking
• Sudden changes in weather and sea conditions
• Slippery or uneven surfaces onboard
• Motion sickness or injury due to vessel movement
• Accidental immersion or falling overboard
• Interaction with marine life
• Shoreside risks - Includes uneven ground, potential for cuts or grazes, slips or trips, disorientation or getting lost, and natural hazards such as steep drop-offs or coastal cliffs.
• Water activities - Activities such as swimming, snorkelling, paddleboarding, and diving carry inherent risks including strong currents, sudden weather changes, marine life encounters, physical exertion, and the potential for slips, falls, or immersion-related incidents.
• Onboard emergency scenarios such as collision, grounding, person overboard, steering or propulsion loss, fire, abandon ship
• Exposure to natural hazards such as tsunami, waterspouts and wildfires.
• Loss or damage to personal property
All guests must follow crew instructions at all times. Life jackets and safety equipment are available onboard and may be required in certain conditions.
Jetski & eFoil Use
Silver Wave Yacht Charters offer the use of jetskis and/or efoils as an optional experience. These high-adrenaline activities carry additional risk, including:
• High-speed impact or collision with other vessels, marine life, or fixed objects
• Falls resulting in physical injury
• Equipment malfunction or operator error
• Risk of immersion and drowning, particularly for non-swimmers or those unfamiliar with the equipment
All participants must:
• Be physically fit and competent swimmers
• Follow all safety briefings and wear provided safety gear (life jackets, helmets where required)
• Operate equipment in designated areas only and under crew supervision
Participation may be refused to guests under the influence of alcohol or drugs or those deemed unfit by the crew.
Multi-Day Charters
O, but come with their own considerations:
• Navigating onboard spaces during the night (potential trip or fall hazards)
• Fatigue or disorientation due to vessel movement
• Limited medical access in remote anchorages
• Changes in weather conditions affecting anchorage comfort
Guests should:
• Communicate any health concerns or conditions in advance
• Use handrails and lighting when moving around the vessel at night
• Keep personal medication accessible
Health & Responsibility
All guests are responsible for their own health and safety during the charter. Please advise us in advance of any medical conditions, disabilities, or concerns that may affect your participation. Silver Wave Yacht Charters reserves the right to alter itineraries or cancel certain activities due to weather, safety, or operational reasons.
