Deposit and extra-charge protection — free

Check-in and return protocol — so you do not lose money

Charter companies often charge for damage, extras, or consumables with no invoice and nothing for you to sign. They rely on most crews documenting nothing at check-in. KeelTruth walks you step by step through the full check-in and return — with photos and a record you keep, not just them.

No credit card. Check-in and return protocols are free for now.

Why people lose money on charter

Not because they damaged the boat. Because they had no proof.

  • 1 Charges for damage, consumables, or services with no receipt, confirmation, or your signature
  • 2 At check-in you photographed and wrote down nothing — the charter company has the only record, and it is theirs
  • 3 With a KeelTruth protocol you have the same proof they do: photos, checklist, and timestamps for check-in and return

So funktioniert es

Check-in and return protocol, step by step

1

Check-in protocol at the marina

Schritt-fur-Schritt-Checkliste bei der Ubernahme: Rumpf, Deck, Innenraum, Ausstattung. Fotos und Notizen zu jedem Punkt noch in der Marina.

2

During the charter you have a record

The boat's condition at check-in is saved with time and photos. If something new appears during the trip, you have a baseline for return.

3

Return protocol at drop-off

The same process when you return the boat — compare condition to check-in. You and the charter company both have a record, not just them.

4

Wenn ohne berechtigten Anspruch abgerechnet wird

Wenn Schaden, Verbrauchsmaterial oder Zusatzkosten berechnet werden, haben Sie fotografische und schriftliche Nachweise.
