J World Booking Policies for Standard Courses

J World Sailing will schedule courses on demand with as few as one student, however courses will not be confirmed until at least two students are enrolled. When making a reservation, we require billing and contact information, and you will be emailed a reservation form.  The class automatically becomes confirmed when we have a second student enrolled.  At this point, you will be automatically billed and receive an email confirmation.  In the event we do not receive the minimum enrollment for that particular course, you will have the option of rescheduling or converting the course to a private class (at incremental cost increase).

If for any reason your schedule changes and you are unable to attend, you must contact J World to cancel the reservation (see below for cancellation policies), otherwise we are scheduling and billing based on the assumption that the dates still work for you, and accordingly committing resources (instructors and boats).

Payment & Cancellation Policy

1. For courses and charters the following deposits will be required to hold a class space or vessel:
   • Standard sailing/racing/cruising classes – $200 per person
   • Liveaboard classes – $400 per person
   • Charters (skippered or bareboat) – 50%, unless otherwise indicated
   • Special courses (cruises/race) – 50% , unless otherwise indicated
2. No class space or charter will be held until the appropriate payments have been received!
3. All deposits and payments are non-refundable.
4. If cancellation is made 30 days prior to the scheduled event (or longer for some special events, the precise time will be included in your confirmation), deposits are transferable, and credit will be given towards a rescheduled course.  Cancellations within 30 days are subject to a loss of tuition/fees.
5. The balance for courses and skippered charters is due 30 days prior to the start of the course.  The balance due date for special events varies depending on the event and is reflected on your confirmation.  The balance for bareboat charters is due 7 days prior to the charter for day charters, or 30 days prior to the charter for multi-day charters.  The exact due date will be reflected on your course confirmation.  If you have provided a credit card for your deposit, your balance will be automatically charged to the same card on the due date, unless we are instructed otherwise.
6. If circumstances beyond the control of J World result in a loss of training, a credit to make up the lost time applicable to a future J World program will be awarded.  All course fees paid are non-refundable.
7. All payments (including gift certificates, vouchers, etc.) are non-refundable.
8. We strongly suggest that you secure private travel insurance
