The date
A specific day, not a month. Availability, tide window and sunset time all hang off it.
Rates & dates
Nothing moves until the date is held.
Enquiry, shortlist, hold, quote, confirm, sail. Six steps, and money only moves at step five.

You see a real vessel, a real date and a firm quote before anything is paid.

- The quote shows the block and what sits outside it.
- Balance due 48 hours before departure.
- Force majeure is always a reschedule, never a forfeit.
What you send
Three things that make a quote real
With these the desk can shortlist two or three actual hulls. Without them it can only send a price list.
The party size
Capacity comes off the certificate, and seated dining takes materially fewer than standing.
The shape of the day
Sunset block, half day, full day or overnight. It decides the marina and the class before it decides the price.
The sequence
Six steps, in order
Nothing here is a formality. Each step exists because skipping it produces a problem later.
