• We will fuel the vessel up for you upon your return

• We will clean the vessel for you upon your return

• Please Note: The cost of any Fuel used will still be deducted from your Security Deposit on top of the cost of this service.

What is the difference between an OYC-owned and an OYC-managed vessel?

Essentially an OYC-owned vessel is owned and operated by us. You will have a handover from an OYC employee. An OYC-managed vessel is not owned by us. The owner is responsible for the maintenance and upkeep of the vessel. We obviously have a close relationship and inspect the vessel regularly. The handover may be done by an OYC employee of the Owner of the vessel. In the interests of transparency e make it very clear if the vessel is Owned or Managed by us.
