2. Introductory information on sailing with JST

2.1) The JST’s tall ship voyages are for crews of mixed abilities, both in sailing experience and degree of physical and sensory ability. The JST’s philosophy is that everyone has a part to play in sailing and working the ships to the best of their ability. During some 30 years of operation the JST has taken over 36,000 people to sea. We have vast experience of working with people with physical and sensory disabilities.

2.2) The nature of our Voyages and Day Sails means that we ask that all Trainee Crew and Passengers show a flexible approach at all times. For example, plans may change due to local circumstances, weather conditions and the tides, and for a variety of other reasons. We endeavour to provide you with life changing experiences and we encourage you to participate at all times.

2.3) Given the unpredictable nature of any sailing experience we need you to be absolutely open about any problems you may have. We have great experience of a wide range of disabilities and we are keen to accept everyone but if you are to get the most out of this experience, we must be able to plan for all eventualities whilst at sea.

2.4) Any assisted/bursary funding (if applicable) is provided on an individual basis and will be applied once per person.

3. Submitting a Booking Form

3.1) To submit an order for a Voyage or a Day Sail you must complete a Booking Form and submit this to us. Submission of a Booking Form constitutes an offer by you to purchase a Voyage and/or a Day Sail in accordance with these Terms and Conditions. By submitting a Booking Form you are acknowledging and agreeing that you have read, understood and agreed to these Terms and Conditions. Please note that conditions on the longer passages/transatlantic crossings can be arduous. Applicants with little sailing experience must take this into consideration when submitting a Booking Form.

3.2) Age Restriction – We are unable to accept bookings on Voyages for Trainee Crew under the age of 16. Day Sails are subject to a lower age limit of 12 years. There is no upper age limit on our Voyages or Day Sails.

4. Acceptance of your booking by us

Our initial response

4.1) Once you have submitted a Booking Form, the JST can either

  • Accept the booking by confirming this in writing to you.
  • Reject the booking by notice in writing to you in our sole discretion and without liability to you or any obligation to give reasons/explanations.
  • Request further information from you (see below) and/or require an on board assessment before we are able to either accept or reject the booking.

4.2) Your Booking will only be deemed accepted at the point at which the JST issues written acceptance of the Booking Form at which point and on which date the contract between us shall come into existence. These Terms and Conditions will constitute the entire agreement between us and you and you acknowledge that you have not relied on any statement, promise or representation made or given by or on behalf of JST Group which is not set out in these Terms and Conditions. All bookings are made with JST.

Request for further information from you

4.3) We cannot confirm any booking until you have completed and returned the “Medical/Disability

Information” section on our Booking Form. When completing this section on the Booking Form, you must include any significant medical condition occurring anytime during your past, as well as any current medical condition/illness. For the purposes of sailing on board our Ships, please note that epilepsy and diabetes are considered to be physical disabilities. We may also ask you to complete and return an additional medical form providing further details of your medical condition(s) and/or any disability before we are able to respond to your booking. Please note that all potential Trainee Crew or Passengers who are over the age of 70 are required to complete this additional medical form, which will be supplied to you after you have remitted your Booking Form to us. In submitting any Booking Form and/or medical form to us, you consent to the sharing of the information on the form with (a) our Medical Officer; and (b) the permanent crew on the Ship on which you wish to sail;

and (c) the booking staff at the JST Group’s head office who are handling your booking.

Other travel arrangements (including flights)

4.4) We suggest that you do not confirm flight reservations and other travel arrangements until you receive written confirmation of our acceptance of your Booking Form.

5. Joining the Ship and life on board

5.1) Joining instructions will be provided to you when we receive full payment from you for your

Voyage or Day Sail, and will give date, time and place for joining the Ship.

5.2) On Voyages, you may hear the term ‘voyage crew’ being used. This means members of the

Trainee Crew. When you board the Ship on the date of departure, you will be asked to sign on as Trainee Crew.

5.3) Members of the Trainee Crew will be expected to carry out the duties assigned to them by the Master or Officers, who shall have a due regard for any disability that Trainee Crew members may have, as well as all Trainee Crew’s sailing experience.

5.4) All Trainee Crew may be allocated a buddy when they join a Voyage. The pairings will be determined by the First Mate and the Medical Purser of the Ship on which you are sailing. Trainee Crew who are over 70 may not initially be buddied with another member of the Trainee Crew until an on board assessment has been undertaken.

5.5) The decision of the Master is final on all matters that are likely to affect the safety and enjoyment of members of the Trainee Crew or Passengers. If you do not comply with a decision made by the Master, he/she may decide to offload you at the next available port stop. The Masters decision on this is final.

5.6) English is the working language on board our Ships. For safety reasons you must have a good working knowledge of the English language. We reserve the right to decline passage at any time, without liability, to anyone considered not to have adequate language skills.

5.7) During your Voyage you may wish to book an excursion or activity provided by a local operator.

Please note that your contract will be with the supplier and the JST accepts no responsibility for their acts or omissions, but we may offer assistance to anyone in difficulty.

6. Making amendments to Voyages/Day Sails by Trainee Crew or Passengers

6.1) Any change in Voyage choice made at the request of Trainee Crew at least 12 weeks or more before departure (in the case of a Voyage of 25 days or less), or 6 months or more before departure (in the case of a Voyage of 26 days or more), will incur an administration charge of £50 per person and will be subject to availability. Thereafter the cancellation charges at clauses 11.2 and 11.3 will apply.

6.2) Any change in Day Sail choice made at the request of a Passenger at least 14 days or more before departure will incur an administration charge of £50 per person and will be subject to availability. Thereafter amendments to Day Sails will not be accepted.

7. Change of itinerary by us

7.1) We endeavour to operate all Voyages and Day Sails as described in our brochures and on our website, however on occasions it is necessary to make changes to the scheduled itinerary, often at short notice, whether pre-departure or after the Voyage or Day Sail has commenced. This is due to (amongst other things) operational reasons, weather, tides, strikes or political upheaval or circumstances outside our reasonable control. In making a booking with us, you accept that changes to the published itinerary may be made. We do not take decisions to change our itineraries lightly.

7.2) Whenever possible we will provide you with advance notice of any change to itineraries however we reserve the right to make changes to the itineraries of our Voyages and Day Sails without giving prior notice to you. If changes are made during the Voyage or Day Sail, the Ship’s permanent crew will update you as soon as it is reasonably practicable to do so.

7.3) If the itinerary of the Voyage or Day Sail on which you have made a booking is changed (whether pre-departure or after the Voyage or Day Sail has commenced) you accept that where the change is due to local circumstances or events outside our control, the JST is not responsible for any costs that you may incur as a result of the change to the itinerary. If the itinerary of the Voyage or Day Sail on which you have made a confirmed booking is changed (whether pre-departure or after the Voyage or Day Sail has commenced) and the change of itinerary is due to a failure of the JST to perform its obligations under the agreement between us, the JST will (if pre-departure) assume responsibility for the reasonable cost of amendments to your travel arrangements to enable you to join the Ship or (if the Voyage or Day Sail has commenced) the reasonable cost of transporting you to the original port of disembarkation. The JST is not responsible for any additional costs (for example, of cancelled onward travel arrangements, or hotel costs) that you may incur as a result of the change to the itinerary.

8. Medical / disability information

8.1) On our Voyages and Day Sails, the permanent crew includes a Medical Purser (RN). The Medical Purser will help and support our Trainee Crew/Passengers. Whilst we will do our best if an accident or an illness occurs, the treatment available may not be the same as if you were ashore in the UK with access to your GP or local hospital.

8.2) Any medical information not declared to us prior to sailing could result in the JST cancelling your Voyage or Day Sail with no recourse for refund or compensation. Please see clause 12.4 for more information.

8.3) Any subsequent changes in medical condition or medication following submission of a Booking Form and/or medical form must be advised to us immediately. If you did not submit a medical form to us at the time of booking but subsequently develop a medical condition or start to take medication, this must be advised to us immediately.

8.4) Any medical condition you have must be managed by you yourself and you should not rely on there being sophisticated medical capability during a Voyage or Day Sail. You must bring you own medication with adequate supply beyond your expected time on the Ship; our Ships cannot reasonably be expected to stock and supply an extensive range of medication.

8.5) Trainee Crew and Passengers must be free of contact with known infectious diseases within one calendar month prior to their Voyage or Day Sail.

8.6) Anyone booking a Voyage or Day Sail and who is (a) severely physically disabled; and/or (b) has learning disabilities; and/or (c) needs personal care, is required to bring an able-bodied friend (buddy) with them. The buddy should have experience of helping with their particular needs and he/she must be over the age of 18.

8.7) The JST regrets that for safety reasons we are unable to accommodate anyone on board our Ships who has profound learning disabilities, or wheelchair or occasional wheelchair users weighing more than 16 stone. Please note wheelchairs should not exceed the maximum 66.5cm width on board and MUST be manual. We cannot accept bookings from anyone who proposes to use an electric wheelchair on board our Ships.

8.8) Vaccinations – It is your responsibility to ensure that any vaccinations you may need are up to date for the countries you will be visiting. Certain countries require proof of vaccination against certain diseases (e.g. yellow fever) and you must ensure you carry all necessary documentation to show to relevant authorities who may demand to see it. If you do not have this documentation, you may be denied entry to port and may not be permitted to disembark from the Ship.

9. Your obligations and acceptance of risk

9.1) You are personally responsible for ensuring that you comply with all laws, regulations, and customs (including foreign exchange restrictions and drug/medicine regulations) of all countries visited on the Voyage or Day Sail. It should be remembered that certain countries impose severe penalties for the use of opiate based medicines, including any medicine containing codeine (such as some Nurofen products), and certain countries (such as Australia) impose restrictions on the importation of plant, animal, milk and food products.

9.2) Travel insurance – Travel insurance is compulsory for all Trainee Crew on Voyages and you MUST supply the JST with a copy of your policy prior to sailing. Travel insurance is optional for Passengers on Day Sails. Any travel insurance you purchase MUST cover you for “tall ships sailing outside of coastal waters”. It is recommended that you arrange insurance cover at the time of booking your Voyage or Day Sail. We recommend that you ensure that your travel insurance covers the eventualities described in these Terms and Conditions.

9.3) Passports, visas and permits – Save for any Day Sail or Voyage that is advertised by JST as not needing a passport, you will require a full passport that is valid for 6 months after the end of the Voyage or Day Sail and you will be responsible for all necessary visas, permits and other travel documents for the countries which you will visit during your Voyage or Day Sail.

9.4) Prohibited items – You are not permitted to bring on board our Ships, and you agree you will not bring on board our Ships, any goods or articles of an inflammable or dangerous nature, weapons, controlled or prohibited substances, illicit drugs, or any living creatures or plants. The Master (or any Officer delegated for the purpose) shall be entitled at all times to search a member of the Trainee Crew or a Passenger, and/or their personal luggage if the Master reasonably believes they may be in breach of this clause. Since the introduction of the International Ship and Port Facility Security Code (The ISPS Code), you may be requested to produce photo ID or be subject to searches per the individual port security plan. The JST works closely with ports on security matters but has no control over any additional security measures that may be required.

9.5) Risk – All travel involves risk and by submitting the Booking Form you acknowledge and accept that tall ship sailing carries an element of personal risk. We endeavour to minimise risks wherever possible by implementing stringent safety measures and procedures on our Ships, by using advice from the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, the Maritime and Coastguard Agency and the Health and Safety Executive, as well as advice from our own local contacts when assessing whether our itineraries should operate. Safety and evacuation drills are the first activity you will engage in upon coming on board our Ships. In submitting the Booking Form to us, you accept that it is your responsibility to acquaint yourself with all relevant travel information (such as the FCO’s travel advisories), that you will acquaint yourself with all safety/evacuation procedures once on board the Ship, and that you have assessed your willingness to take the sort of risks that tall ship sailing may entail. You accept that you have decided to travel in the knowledge that there are risks involved in taking a Voyage or Day Sail.

10.1) When booking a Voyage of 25 days or less, you are required to pay a non-refundable deposit of 25% of the voyage fee in order for your booking to be confirmed by us.

Cancellation by the JST – Day Sails

12.2) The JST may cancel a Day Sail at any time up to the date of departure. Please note that this happens rarely and cancellation is not a decision we take lightly. Please see clause 10.4 for further information. In the event of cancellation due to weather conditions the JST will offer 50% off a future Day Sail (to be taken within one year) or will set the amount paid by the Passenger for the Day Sail against a future Voyage (to be taken within one year). Except in the circumstances set out in clauses 12.3, 12.4 and 12.5, in the event that the JST cancels a Day Sail for any reason other than due to weather conditions, the JST will offer Passengers either an alternative Day Sail or a full refund. In all circumstances, the JST shall not be liable for any incidental costs and expenses incurred by Passengers who were due to sail on any cancelled Day Sail, including (but not limited to) transportation and accommodation costs.

Cancellation and curtailment by the JST – Voyages and/or Day Sails

In these circumstances, the JST is not obliged to refund monies paid by Trainee Crew or Passengers, nor offer an alternative Voyage or Day Sail. The JST shall not be liable for any incidental costs and expenses incurred by Trainee Crew/Passengers in relation to the cancelled/curtailed Voyage or Day Sail, or who were sailing on the cancelled/curtailed Voyage or Day Sail, including (but not limited to) flights and hotel accommodation.

12.4) The JST may cancel your booking on a Voyage or Day Sail at any time if you are in breach of any of these Terms and Conditions (including if you have not disclosed (whether deliberately or not) a medical condition or disability which, in the opinion of our Medical Officer, means that your booking would not have been accepted by the JST at the time you submitted your Booking Form to us). In these circumstances (ie breach of these Terms and Conditions), the JST is not obliged to refund monies paid, nor offer an alternative Voyage or Day Sail. The JST shall not be liable for any incidental costs and expenses incurred by potential Trainee Crew/Passengers who were due to sail on the Voyage or Day Sail but who the JST has declined to accept as a result of breach of these Terms and Conditions, including (but not limited to) flights and hotel accommodation.

12.5) The JST may cancel/curtail your Voyage or Day Sail at any time if the Master deems that your behaviour on the Voyage/Day Sail is likely to endanger your safety, the safety of the permanent crew, the safety and enjoyment of other Trainee Crew or Passengers, or if you are found to be in possession of prohibited items (as set out in clause 9.4). In these circumstances, the JST is not obliged to refund monies paid, nor offer an alternative Voyage or Day Sail. The JST shall not be liable for any incidental costs and expenses incurred by Trainee Crew/Passengers who have been offloaded, including (but not limited to) flights and hotel accommodation.
