In French Islands, you will use Euros. But think about taking some US Dollars before leaving your home country. You will dock the foreign islands without thinking about changing money. We alert you about the currency in the "English" or "Independant" islands: they use the EC Dollar.
The opposite chart gives you an idea about the currencies values.
Those datas are rough and cannot be considered as reference values.

The insurance switches on the tenant as soon as he signs the contract and the general conditions.

| Good to know |
|
It is very important to attentively listen to the people who give you the boat key, to ask them anything you wonder about, and please, take the time to appropriate to yourselves the boat.
To prepare the departures and arrivals from/to a dock avoids lot of stress and decreases the probability of troubles. For example: to tidy-up, to close the portholes, to study the card to analyse the situation according to the wind, the sea, other boats, etc...
Sailing is easy in West Indies, the weather is pleasant... But do not let you taken by surprise: anticipation is the keyword on the sea.
Your boat has been controled underwater before your arrival and it will be checked again in the next three days after you came back. Nevertheless, we invite you to dive when mooring and to call the base in the first 24 hours of renting to point out anything you judge it has to (concerning the hull as any other part of the boat). If it is something the technical crew couldn't do before you left, of course we won't charge you for those troubles.
We will send you back or destruct (according to your choice) your deposit at the term of the renting.
In case of long renting, the lessee will contact the base every ten days, in order to locate the boat.
