All boats are insured and safety deposit can be left in two ways:

A safety deposit is a part that insurance does not cover for example lost dinghy or broken window. If the damage is smaller than the safety deposit (for example lost boat fender approx 400 HRK) we will unblock your card anyway and charge the amount of real cost (example boat fender 400 HRK). All damages should be reported immediately on the support number. In case of bigger damage maximum charge is the amount of deposit written in your confirmation and in the price list.
