Practical information: boat rental

To make your stay as smooth as possible, we have listed the most important practical matters for you.

Rental period & times

• • Enjoy the whole day: You rent the boat for the whole day. You can pick up the boat from 09:00 and appearance to 22:00 hand back in.
  • Appointment: We will be happy to agree an exact time with you for handover and instruction. Would you like to return the boat later (e.g. for night fishing)? This is often possible by mutual agreement.
  • Fixed daily price: As we provide the same service, check-in and maintenance for every rental, we have one fixed daily rate. There are no half-day prices.
  • Boats over 25HP: The lessee is responsible for complying with Norwegian boating licence legislation (born after 1.1.1980) and must have sufficient experience for safe boating.

Fuel, cleaning and damage

• Fuel: You will receive the boat with a full tank. On your return, we will check the consumption together. You only pay for the litres you actually used (we fill the boat again for you).
• Cleaning: We deliver a clean boat, and like to receive it back clean as well. That means free of fish waste, bait and rubbish. That way, the next tenant can also enjoy it straight away.
• Damage: You are responsible for the boat and engine during the rental period. Please report any damage immediately on your return.

Deposit & Excess

We make every effort to keep our boats in top condition. To ensure this and to settle any minor damage (such as to the propeller) immediately, we ask for a deposit.

• Height Deposit: We require a deposit between  €300 (or NOK 3000) - €500 (or NOK 5000) by boat.
• Payment: For your convenience, you can transfer this amount in advance to our Norwegian IBAN bank account. This will save you high transaction costs. Paying in cash on arrival is also possible (in Euros or NOK), or paying (Pins) with your debit card.
• Reimbursement: If the boat is returned damage-free and clean, we will refund the deposit to your account immediately after your holiday. A refund via bank takes at least 1 working day.
• Excess Insurance: The boats are all-risk insured with an excess of RIDGE 3,000 - RIDGE 7,500 per claim.
  • Tip: Damage up to the amount of the deposit will be deducted from the deposit. Damage above that will be charged up to the excess.

Procedure

• Check-in & Check-out Procedure  You sign a contract for the boat. At the start, we walk the boat together. We advise you to take your own photos before departure of the propeller and the hull. This way, there is never any discussion about any old damage afterwards.

1. Payment Your booking is final on receipt of the deposit. We apply the following terms:

• Down payment: 20% of the total rent, payable within 7 days of booking.
• Residual payment: The remaining 80% should be in our account no later than 1 month before arrival. You will receive an invoice for this in good time.
• For bookings within 1 month before arrival, the full amount must be paid immediately.
• Our prices are based on the Norwegian Krone (NOK). For your convenience, we convert prices to Euro in your invoice. For this purpose, we use the exchange rate at the time the relevant invoice is prepared. As a result, there may be a difference in the price in Euro at the time of the deposit and the final invoice. This is due to the exchange rate difference.

2. Cancellation Should you unexpectedly need to cancel, the following conditions apply:

• If cancelled up to 1 month before the planned date of arrival: You will owe the deposit (20% of the holiday price).
• In case of cancellation within 1 month before the planned date of arrival: You will owe the full travel price (100%).
• No refunds will be made for earlier or mid-term departures.

3. Move (Coulance) In consultation, we can see if it is possible to move the booking to another period in the same season. However, this is subject to availability and not a right.

⚠️ Tip: Travel and Cancellation Insurance We strongly advise you to take out proper cancellation insurance. If you have to cancel due to illness, family circumstances or other unforeseen issues, your insurance usually covers these costs. We as landlords cannot bear these risks.

An important resource for us are customer reviews. We would greatly appreciate it if you would leave a review. You can also post your review on the park4night app or campercontact, thus helping other camper owners.
