If the weather does not allow you to go out to sea, it is preferable to postpone the booking and to agree on a new date with the boat owner. For daily rentals, you have the possibility to subscribe to our Weather Guarantee in order to be fully reimbursed in case of bad weather (special weather report, storm, etc…).
All boats available on Click&Boat are covered by at least a mandatory third-party liability insurance (RC), as required by applicable regulations. This insurance generally covers damages caused to third parties, but does not cover damages caused to the rented boat itself.
In the event of damage to the boat during the rental period, the owner is entitled to retain part or all of the deposit left by the renter in order to cover the repair costs. The renter may, where eligible, take out a damage waiver insurance in order to protect their deposit.
As a general rule, damages are to be settled directly between the renter and the boat owner. In case no agreement can be reached, the matter may need to be referred to the competent legal authority.
Additional insurances (deposit waiver, assistance, etc.) may be purchased directly on Click&Boat at the time of booking, subject to the applicable terms and conditions.

Unlike traditional Sri Lanka tours that require constant packing, hotel check-ins, and road transfers, sailing keeps you constantly on the move while your accommodation travels with you. Wake each morning to a new anchorage without ever repacking your suitcase.
Many of the beaches and coves visited are accessible only by boat, meaning you avoid crowds even at popular destinations. Anchor off deserted beaches and swim in pristine waters while land-based tourists remain miles away.
The catamaran’s stability and size provide superior whale watching compared to small speedboats – no jarring engine noise, more space to move around, and the ability to prepare meals and relax between sightings rather than rushing back to shore.
Arriving at Galle Fort by sea, as traders did for centuries, provides unique perspective. Your visits to fishing villages come from genuine cultural curiosity rather than bus tour schedules, allowing meaningful interactions with local communities.
Small-group sailing minimizes environmental impact compared to large cruise ships or land-based tours requiring multiple vehicles, hotels, and restaurants. Supporting local guides, sourcing fresh food from fishing communities, and practicing responsible wildlife viewing ensures your tourism dollars benefit local people directly.
