FEE POLICY
This Fee Policy governs all service fees charged by Skiff, LLC ("Skiff,
" "we,
" "us,
" or "our") in connection with bookings made through
the Skiff platform. By using the Skiff platform as a Renter or Host, you agree to the terms outlined in this Fee Policy.
1. Service Fees Overview
Skiff charges service fees to facilitate transactions between Renters and Hosts on the platform. These fees support the operation,
maintenance, and continuous improvement of the Skiff marketplace.
IMPORTANT: Service fees charged by Skiff are fixed and do not fluctuate based on booking amount, duration, boat type, season,
or any other variable. The percentages outlined in this policy remain constant for all transactions.
2. Renter Service Fee
Renters are charged a service fee of thirteen percent (13%) of the total booking amount listed by the Host.
The Renter Service Fee is calculated as follows:
The fee is applied to the boat rental price as listed by the Host.
The fee is added to the total amount charged to the Renter at the time of booking.
The Renter Service Fee is non-refundable except in cases covered under the Skiff Cancellation Policy or where a Host cancels a
confirmed booking.
Example: If a Host lists a boat for $800, the Renter will pay $800 (boat rental) + $104 (13% service fee) = $904 total, excluding any
applicable Captain Fee.
3. Host Service Fee
Hosts are charged a service fee of eighteen percent (18%) of the total booking amount they receive from a Renter.
The Host Service Fee is calculated as follows:
The fee is deducted from the Host's payout after a booking is completed.
The Host receives eighty-two percent (82%) of the listed boat rental price.
The Host Service Fee applies to all bookings, regardless of booking duration, boat type, or other variables.
Example: If a Host lists a boat for $800 and the booking is completed, the Host will receive $656 (82% of $800) after the 18% service fee
is deducted.
4. Captain Fees
Captain fees are separate from Skiff's service fees and are determined by agreement between the Host and the Captain providing services.
When a Captain is Required: If a Host requires that a licensed Captain operate the boat during the rental period, the Renter is
responsible for paying the Captain Fee in addition to the boat rental price and Renter Service Fee.
When No Captain is Required: If the Host allows the Renter to operate the boat without a Captain (bareboat charter), no Captain
Fee applies.
Document Ref: SKIFF-FP-2026 Page of 2Captain Fee Amount: The amount of the Captain Fee is determined by the Host and Captain, and is disclosed to the Renter prior to
booking confirmation.
Captain Fee Payment: Captain fees are paid directly through the Skiff platform and are disbursed to the Captain upon completion of
the booking.
Example: A Host lists a boat for $800 and requires a Captain. The Captain Fee is set at $200. The Renter's total cost will be: $800 (boat
rental) + $104 (13% Renter Service Fee) + $200 (Captain Fee) = $1,104 total.
