Where possible, such requests will be considered by the crew. Also, while many guests enjoy the social side of taking a gulet cruise meeting new friends with a shared interest in the Montenegrin and Croatian coastlines others prefer the privacy and intimacy of having the boat to themselves.

CLIENTS WITH DISABILITY OR MOBILITY ISSUES The law regarding accommodation for persons with disabilities varies from country to country and we cannot guarantee that all accommodation, transport and amenities will be equipped and suitable for wheelchair users or disabled persons. In general terms Montenegro is not well equipped to provide access for wheelchairs and due to the nature of the landscape and geography it is very hilly and there are lots of steps. We advise contacting our call centre before you book if you have any concerns relating to disability or mobility issues and our representative will be able to provide the best and latest information. 20. DAMAGE INSURANCE CONTRIBUTION You will find your villa or apartment clean on arrival, we understand that you are on holiday and the property will require cleaning on your departure. We do however ask that you leave the property in good order and reasonably clean with garbage removed on your departure and report any breakages to us prior to departure. When you book your holiday you are required to pay a Damage Insurance Contribution, which is charged at a rate of 2.5% of the cost of your accommodation. Please note that Damage Insurance Contribution covers you for accidental breakages, where damage has been caused due to your negligence or purposefully you will be responsible for covering the costs. 30 CALL US ON +44 (0)
