Damage Waiver

Damage Waiver/Security Deposit for Hire Cruisers

Although boats are insured by Herbert Woods, you (The Hirer) are primarily responsible for any damage or loss to the boat and its equipment or for any damage to third party property. You will
be held responsible for all damage caused by your own actions and those of other members of your party.

The payment of a mandatory, non refundable waiver (£40 up to 6 berth and £50 for 7 berth and above) will safeguard the hirer from any liability for in the event of accidental damage to the boat,
its fittings or loss of its equipment. It does not cover damage or losses caused by wilful damage or negligence on the part of the hirer and their party. The return of the boat late or in an unclean
condition will incur an extra payment.

All single sex and non family groups will be required to pay a security deposit of £50 per person on arrival (secured against the hirers credit or debit card). We reserve the right to charge an additional security deposit at our discretion. If you return the boat on time, in a clean condition and without damage, loss of equipment or third-party claim against you, the deposit will be repaid within 48 hours. Where loss or damage has occurred, all or part of your security deposit may be withheld by Herbert Woods to cover the cost of loss of use of the boat, repairs, extra cleaning etc. Not withstanding the above if you or any member of your party either fail to comply with booking conditions or cause negligent, wilful or criminal damage you will be fully liable for any loss incurred.
