How do security deposits work?

The "Security Deposit", if included will cover any incidental damage that may occur during the trip. The Owner can choose the refundable security deposit to be paid in cash or/and by credit card at base at the beginning of every booking and after the booking is completed and no claims were reported, he/she will have to return the security deposit to the Renter.

If minor damages occur during your trip, you may contact the boat owner and agree on a reparation price, then pay him directly.

If significant damages occur during your trip and the boat owner request it, the security deposit will then be held by him.

Sail.me will never take a side in claims and will not responsible for administering, accepting or refunding the security deposit, and disclaims any liability in this regard.
