Cancellation and Waitlist Policy
Bookings are final once checkout is complete.
Cancellation requests should be made in writing by sending an email to charter@zimsailing.com. If a replacement charterer is found, the value of your charter less $100 (for processing fees) will be refunded to you. If no replacement charterer is found, you will be responsible for the full value of your charter.
If Zim has a waitlist for an event, the first person on the waiting list will be notified (by email) immediately upon receipt of a cancellation request. They will be given a deadline to accept the charter, typically around 24hrs. If no response is received by that deadline, the next person on the waiting list is offered the charter and this repeats until a replacement is found. If nobody on the waiting list claims the charter, it will be listed again on the Zim website and the waiting list will be reset.
Being waitlisted with a regatta for entry to the event will not result in an automatic refund and the process above must still be followed if a charterer requests a refund based on the event waitlist. It is the charterer's responsibility to register for a regatta.
The charter request form (linked on each sold-out charter product page) must be filled out to request a spot on the waiting list. Emails directly to the charter exec will not be counted as waitlist submissions.
