For the safety of everyone on board, the consumption or possession of alcoholic beverages and illegal or prohibited substances is strictly prohibited during all RÉMA Boat Rentals experiences.

In such cases:

• No refund, including the deposit, will be provided.

If the consumption of alcohol or prohibited substances is discovered after the trip has started, RÉMA Boat Rentals reserves the right to terminate the rental immediately. Any resulting costs, damages or recovery expenses remain the responsibility of the renter.

The renter agrees to pay the applicable charges listed in the signed Rental Agreement for any damage or loss resulting from the rental.

The boat must always be operated in accordance with the instructions provided during the safety briefing and within the permitted navigation area.

If any warning light, alarm or unusual engine behaviour occurs, the engine must be switched off immediately and RÉMA Boat Rentals must be contacted before continuing the trip.

Continuing to operate the boat after an engine warning may result in the renter being held responsible for any additional damage.

All boats are covered by third-party liability insurance in accordance with Greek legislation.
