Found your boat? The manager takes it to booking

Boats from MMK and NauSys are booked through an RYC manager. Aggregator boats are booked on the site where the agent found them, or through RYC if the same boat is on the portals.

Finds from MMK and NauSys

The “Ask to book” button sits on the card: a Telegram chat opens with the boat and dates already with the manager. They confirm the boat is available, send the contract and book. We reply within an hour, 10:00 to 20:00 Moscow time.

Finds from aggregators

They open on the site where the agent found them; booking and payment happen there, by that site's rules. Prefer us? Tap “Find it via RYC” and the agent checks MMK and NauSys for the same boat and dates.

Booking via RYC

From “Ask to book” to check-⁠in

This is how a boat from MMK or NauSys gets booked. The RYC manager replies in Telegram within an hour, 10:00 to 20:00 Moscow time.

  1. 1

    Tap “Ask to book”

    The button on the boat card in the app opens a Telegram chat with the manager; the boat and dates are already in the message.

  2. 2

    The manager checks the boat

    They confirm the boat is free and put it on option while the booking is arranged.

  3. 3

    Contract and invoice

    The manager sends the contract, for an individual or a company, and an invoice.

  4. 4

    A 30–⁠70% prepayment

    It secures the boat for you; until you pay, the booking isn't secured.

  5. 5

    The charter company confirms

    After the prepayment, the charter company confirms the booking.

  6. 6

    The balance a month before departure

    If departure is less than a month away, you pay the full amount straight away.

  7. 7

    Check-⁠in at the base

    The crew's documents, and the deposit on a credit card issued outside Russia.

  8. 8

    The deposit is released

    Once the boat is returned without damage, sometimes after 1–⁠2 weeks.

Documents for check-⁠in

  • Passports for the whole crew
  • A crew list, sent to the charter company in advance
  • The charter contract
