yacht week x globethotter group trip cancellation policy ✈️

how much does the trip cost?

The total trip cost is $2,750 USD. This does not include additional fees incurred during Yacht Week.

Yacht Week suggests you budget an additional $365 to cover your half of the group’s responsibility on water taxis, port fees, yacht fuel, shore power, as well as any additional skipper and host dinners required. This will need to be paid on-site in cash.

To begin the process of securing your spot, a $250 deposit is required via WeTravel.

are payment plans available?

Trip cost can either be paid in full or split in up to 3 monthly payments due on the first of each month via our booking platform, WeTravel.

does a deposit guarantee my spot?

All attendees will be subject to a mandatory pre-screening with Cassy via Zoom before their booking on WeTravel is considered official. If we are not able to place you on the trip, your deposit will be fully refunded.

I’m on the trip waitlist, what does that mean?

Signing up for the waitlist does not require a deposit. While being put on a waitlist may sound like a bummer at first, don’t fret! As mentioned above, no bookings are final until folks have had their mandatory pre-screening Zoom with Cassy. If a slot opens up during this process, those on the waitlist have first dibs and will be notified first.

Another reason the waitlist ain’t so bad, is that should there be enough demand — those on the waitlist will be invited to join a new, identical trip taking place a couple weeks after.

What are the accommodations like?

The night before we get on the yacht (May 19th-20th), along with the two nights after we depart Yacht Week (May 26th-28th) we will be sharing an Airbnb in Split. The Airbnb has six beds, AC, wifi, and a keyless door.

During Yacht Week, we’ll be staying on a gorgeous yacht and sail alongside fellow Yacht-Weekers as part of an epic flotilla. We will be staying on a Premium Catamaran which features four cabins featuring one double bed in each, AC and wifi. Attendees will all split a bed with one other trip attendee. Our catamaran includes skipper, host, breakfast & lunch every day and 2 dinners.

what documents do i need to present before our trip?

All trip attendees must share a copy of their passport (with 6 months of validity remaining by the date of your trip), a copy of your vaccination card and emergency contact information. You will also be responsible for a negative COVID test should Yacht Week’s policy change to require one.

Cancellation Policy:

Given the nature of making plans in the times of COVID, we encourage those offered an official spot on the trip to consider buying refundable flight tickets and personal travel insurance. While we are almost sure that COVID-19 will not interfere with our group trips this summer, we will continue monitoring and following all CDC recommendations.

Please note that this trip’s itinerary is subject to change, to comply with COVID restrictions at time of travel. In the case the trip itinerary listed here needs to be modified due to COVID restrictions, Cassy will swap any excursions that do not comply to those of matching value that do. The group will be notified of any significant changes to the official itinerary before our trip.

If Yacht Week cancels this trip, all registered attendees will receive a refund of any trip payments refunded by Yacht Week back to the Cassy, the official “Lead Booker” of the trip with Yacht Week. However, the $250 deposit is a non-refundable administrative fee.

Trip cancellation requests must be received in writing to cassy@globethotter.net no later than 90 days before our trip start date, by 6 PM CST. Cassy cannot honor any trip cancellation requests made in the 90 days before the trip begins as it is too last minute to guarantee finding a replacement.

In the event that a traveler tests positive for COVID-19 before our trip, a refund will not be given. If a traveler tests positive for COVID-19 and can no longer attend the trip, Cassy needs to be notified in writing and provided with an official COVID-19 positive result dated within 14 days of departure.
