Select inside an ad the dates you are interested in, click on the button “Book now” (you can find the button on the right corner of the screen within each ad). The shipowner decides whether to allow you to immediately book the boat (in this case you find the option “Instant Booking”) or wait for his confirmation. As soon as you will send your booking request, the shipowner will answer within 24 hours to confirm your booking, if you won't receive an answer within 24 hours, you should contact the customer service, which will provide to make your request approved as soon as possible. If the booking will be confirmed, you will receive a confirmation e-mail, which will warn you about the acceptance, and you should login to your area where you will find a summary of your booking, with the deposit to pay immediately to AtBoat with credit card and the amount to pay to the shipowner when the rental will begin.

The shipowner could reject your booking for many reasons, in this case look for a new boat;

The shipowner may accept your bookind and delete it within the 14 days before the rental will begin, in this case you will be getting a refund.

If the shipowner will send the deletion over the 14 days, you will be getting a refund and 5% of the rental cost which we set aside as the penalty clause.

With AtBoat you can book not only a whole boat, but also a shared boat, renting a cabin only instead of the whole boat.

Therefore when you find “Sharing” it means that the shipowner offer his boat even to different groups of people.

Make sure the maximum number of people the cabin can host.

Sure, you can even book many cabins at the same time.

1. You should bring soft luggage in order to easily stow them. There won't be much room on board to stow stiff and bulky luggage.
2. White-soled shoes to use only on board.
3. Comfortable outfit, both for mild and for windy climate (at sea climate could quickly vary according to season and place).
4. Sunscreen! It's very important. Don't you want to get back from a holiday looking like a lobster, do you? We recommend a hat too.
5. Don't forget a big towel, probably you're willing to go swimming!
6. If you are subject to seasickness, make sure you have the medicines you need!
7. Make sure to bring con te all the medicines you need, it will not always be possible to easily find themduring the holiday!
8. Bring some snacks and drinking water too, for your stay on board. If you didn't plan to have a meal on land and the shipowner doesn't offer meals on board, bring the right amount of food to cook. On board there is usually a kitchen with a fridge and a stove, but you have to ask the shipowner how to organize yourself.

We recommend to follow all the instructions given by the shipowner about safety on board. We recommend to read the rules mentioned in the ad.

Sometimes a shipowner could add extra charges besides the rental price, but it is always in the ad, like for example the cost of fuel, the cleaners cost, etc. Sometimes the shipowner provides the opportunity of optional services, like for example additional crew, transfer from the airport, etc. For further information about extra charges, contact the customer service.

You should get in touch with the shipowner through AtBoat's communication system and ask him if it's possible to make the wanted changes. The shipowner cooperating with AtBoat can always a accomodate your needs whenever possible.

You can make the payment of a booking deposit with credit card through Stripe.

Once you've sent a deposit which is 7,0% of the rental amount, your booking is confirmed. You will pay the remainder directly to the shipowner. You can pay it the day of the rental beginning (recommended) or pay an advance with bank transfer, but you should keep in mind that AtBoat doesn't have the resources to attend in case of contention.

You should keep in mind that we are licensed in the practice of shipbroking at Latina's Chamber of Commerce and we are subject to strict behavioural rules.

The advance for AtBoat is very safe because it will be made through an encrypted connection, and no payment detail will be saved on our server.

we use Stripe as payment method of the advance (7,0%), the safest method in the world

For any issues toward us you can open a complaint with Stripe which will open an internal investigation in order to refund you.

Regarding the payment of the rental's remainder to the shipowner, we recommend to make it at the place and at the moment of the rental's beginning, because we are not in charge of any issues. You should check in advance the method of payment of the rental's cost with the shipowner through AtBoat's communication system.
