GROUP PLANNING –
THE BARE DETAILS
A three minute read
::: By organizing a group of men to come on a specific date, you become the “Group Organizer”
::: You, as Group Organizer, will get your trip for free, when you gather 8 guys (other than yourself) for a departure.
::: Gather 10 or more guys, and you as Group Organizer will get your trip for free, plus an additional credit of $1,600 (which you can use for your airfare costs – or anything else!)
::: Marketing the Trip
Get the word out about this opportunity to travel with you, to your friends, contacts, public base, and/or platforms. If you’d like, Everything To Sea can help you do so by creating a unique link for your trip offering on our site. The link will not be accessible from our main website; only people you share it with will have access to your particular offering.
::: You will collect payments from the people who want to travel with you, and make payments to Everything To Sea one, three, and six months before the trip date. We recommend Group Organizers open a separate bank account to use as an “escrow” account, specifically for trip payments.
::: You can add travelers to the trip up until two weeks before the actual departure date.
::: To suggest a trip, you would contact Everything To Sea via Let’s Discuss a Trip.
One of the guys from Everything To Sea will respond, and the planning process will begin, determining trip content with regards to aspects such as dates and other details.
::: Once the time period and price is determined, an initial deposit will reserve the desired date. Deposit amounts typically range from $500 to $2,000.
::: Thereafter, three additional payments will be made over the course of time leading up to the departure:
- The 2nd payment (30% of base price) will be due 6 months before the trip date.
- The 3rd payment (60% of base price) will be due 3 months before the trip date.
- Final payment will be due 1 month before the trip date, for the balance owed based on the ultimate number of travelers, less the $1,600 credit to the Group Organizer.
::: Payments to Everything to Sea may be made by bank transfer, Apple Pay, Google Pay, or with credit cards including Visa, MasterCard, Maestro, Discover, JCB, American Express.
::: Trip Date
Although Everything To Sea intends a guaranteed departure, a trip date may change or be cancelled due to unforeseen events including safety issues, changing natural conditions, and force majeure.
::: Communication
Everything To Sea sends out a Welcome Letter, a Pre-departure letter, and a Just-before-the-Voyage letter to every Traveler, via email. When there is additional lead time before a departure, additional letters will be sent out.
::: Changing Group Departure Dates
Change of group departure requests must be sent via email, to Hello@EverythingToSea.com. If Everything To Sea can accommodate the date change request, an administrative fee may be charged.
::: You commit to running a trip with a minimum of 7 people besides yourself. However, the benefit for your for free passage begins with 8 people in addition to yourself.
::: Group Cancellations
Group cancellation requests must be sent via email, to Hello@EverythingToSea.com. The date of the received email determines the cancellation fee.
- Deposit is non-refundable.
- After 2nd payment made: 70% of 2nd payment returned.
- After 3rd payment made: 30% of 2nd and 3rd payment returned.
- 80 days or less before departure: 0% of 2nd and 3rd payment returned.
