Payment Schedule
We operate a 3-stage payment system in order to make it easy for you to initially secure your trip. This affords parents/guardians and youngsters a longer period of time to make the outstanding payments.
Step 1 – Deposit
When you have completed the booking form you will receive confirmation by email noting the number of places allocated and the date of your trip. This email will also confirm your payment schedule, how to pay your deposit and our bank details. Within 10 working days of making your booking, you must pay the deposit amounting to 25% of your total cost. If payment is not received within this 10-day period, your reservation will automatically be cancelled and you will be notified by email.
Step 2 - Main Payment
At least 90 days prior to your trip you must pay 50% of your total cost. We will confirm when we have received this payment.
Step 3 - Final Balance
The remaining balance of 25% of your total cost must be paid a minimum of 30 days prior to your trip commencing. We will confirm when we have received this payment.
Please note: Since your trip will take place in a foreign country you will need to make your payments by wire transfer to a bank outside the United States. This is a simple, everyday procedure, it is easily done and your bank will help you to make the arrangements, although you should expect them to also charge you a transaction fee. If your group prefers, we will be pleased to accept a single payment at the time your 'deposit' is due, alternatively, you may combine the 'main payment' and 'final balance' into a single payment!
Unique Crew Number & Account
You will find that when your Troop makes a booking with Sail School Bahamas, a UID (Unique Identification Number) will be created for your Troop each time you make a booking. After completing our booking form you will receive an email confirming your booking and providing a payment schedule and information on how to pay for your trip. This email will note your UID number, please keep this safe and note your UID number on all emails to us.
