The
Charterer will restrict the navigation of the Vessel to
the Cruising Limits and to those areas within the Cruising
Limits in which the Vessel (i) is legally entitled to be
navigated and (ii) can be safely navigated by the Crew
in the prevailing conditions.
If
the Charterer fails to accept delivery of the Vessel
within 24 hours of the start of the Charter Period
and has not by then notified the Operator of his intention
to accept delivery later during the Charter Period,
the Operator may treat this Agreement as terminated
without prejudice to its rights to
recover any unpaid portion of the Charter Fee.
The
Charterer warrants that he and the Crew have the experience
and competence described on the Operator's Booking
Request Form and that they are capable of safely handling
the Vessel.
The
Charterer shall pay all running expenses during the
Charter Period and to the extent that on redelivery
any consumables have not been restored to their handover
levels, the Charterer shall be liable to the Operator
for the cost thereof.
The
Charterer shall not sub-charter or part with control
of the Vessel without the prior written consent of
the Operator.
The
Charterer shall take care of and assume full responsibility
for the safety and maintenance of the Vessel and its equipment
at all times including when unattended. When the Charterer
leaves the Vessel unattended, the Charterer shall remain
fully responsible therefor and should take all reasonable
precautions to secure the Vessel and the equipment and
gear on board.
The
Charterer shall not allow the Vessel to dry out or be stranded
and shall ensure that the Vessel is moored only at a secure
and well maintained mooring point. The Charterer shall
not anchor the Vessel in a place where anchoring is restricted
or that is not suitable for anchoring such a vessel.
The
Charterer shall neither use the Vessel for any purpose
other than private pleasure cruising for himself, his
crew and guests, nor race the Vessel without the prior
written consent of the Operator.
The
Charterer shall limit the number of persons in his party
to not more than the number of berths on the Vessel, except
by prior agreement with the Operator, such agreement to
be contingent on the Charterer's party not exceeding the
number of places on the Vessel licensed by the appropriate
authority.
The
Charterer shall observe all applicable rules, regulations
and laws whether of customs, harbour or other authorities
or otherwise.
The
Charterer shall not allow any animals on board the
Vessel without the prior written consent of the Operator.
The
Charterer shall redeliver the Vessel to the Operator
at the Port of Redelivery or at such other place as
may be agreed between the parties at the end of the
Charter Period cleaned, in the same condition as on
delivery (fair wear and tear excepted) and with her
inventory complete. If the Charterer fails so to redeliver
the Vessel, he shall be liable for twice the pro rata
Charter Fee for every day or part thereof by which
redelivery is delayed unless such delay is caused by
the operation of an insured peril or circumstances
beyond the Charterer's reasonable control.
The
Charterer's obligations under this Agreement shall continue
until redelivery.
