COVENANT TO SUE, RELEASE, AND INDEMNITY
FOR ENTRY AND USE OF THE Sailing Yacht “Papillon”
For and in consideration of the acceptance by Charterer & Guests of entry and use of the VESSEL, I hereby acknowledge the dangers inherent in VESSEL ACTIVITIES and accept all the risks and responsibilities of my participation. I am agreeing to release “Papillon Yacht Charters LLC” and its AFFILIATES from liability.
DEFINITIONS
● VESSEL means the Official Number 1311695 and her apparel, tackle,
furniture, appurtenances, tenders, boats, and toys.
● AFFILIATES means parent, affiliated, or subsidiary companies; officers,
employees, contractors, volunteers, agents or representatives, insurers, attorneys,
and their successors and assigns; and all of their vessels and facilities.
● VESSEL ACTIVITIES include all uses of the VESSEL whether at dark, anchor, or
underway.

RECOGNITION OF RISKS
Charterer & Guests recognize that there are risks involved in VESSEL ACTIVITIES. Risk of serious bodily injury, including permanent disability, paralysis and death may arise from slips, trips, or falls, perils of the sea, severe weather, negligence of other VESSEL guests, caterers, crew, or other boaters; flaws and defects in equipment and facilities. Risks make because by my own actions, or inaction, the actions or inaction of others, and/or the negligence of “Papillon Yacht Charters LLC” and its AFFILIATES. There may be other risks and social and economic losses either not known to me or not readily foreseeable at this time. I recognize that the risks of VESSEL ACTIVITIES are potentially more severe than the risks I am accustomed to ashore. Some of the significant risks associated with VESSEL ACTIVITIES include, without limitation:
● Slipping and falling on the docks, ramps, and VESSEL. There is a possibility of
falling into the water and drowning. Surfaces may be wet and slippery.
Additionally, there is a possibility of being crushed between the VESSEL, piers or
other boats, which may result in severe injuries or death.
● The surfaces a board vessels are hard and unforgiving. Falling on the deck of the
VESSEL may result in severe injuries or death.
● There are trip hazards on VESSEL, including cleats, lines and ropes, and uneven
surfaces, particularly near doors and hatches.
● The VESSEL may rock or roll in the event of wind or wave action. Rocking and
rolling may result in loss of balance, falling, or colliding into hard surfaces or the
water. Rocking and rolling of the VESSEL may also lead to damage of property
(such as phones, cameras, computers, falling from tables and breaking) or injury
from falling objects (such as hot beverages falling on seated individuals).
● When transferring between the VESSEL and other vessels, waves, swells, or wakes
may cause the vessels to surge together or apart rapidly, potentially resulting in
falling in the water, or being crushed between the vessels.
● Stairs on the VESSEL may be significantly steeper than shore-side facilities. Stairs
may be wet and slippery. The VESSEL may roll or pitch while I am on the stairs,
resulting in my fall and injury.
● Emergency help may be delayed because the VESSEL is not easily accessible from
Shore.
● The risks outlined above are examples only.

RISKS INCREASE WITH ALCOHOL AND DRUGS
Further, recognize that impairment from alcohol and drug use may increase the risk
associated with VESSEL ACTIVITIES. Charterer agrees that Charterer and Charterer’s guests will use alcohol only in moderation, if at all, and that Charterer will not use any drugs in violation of law or medical advice.
AGREEMENTS:
Charterer agrees to abide by all instructions from the VESSEL’s master and crew related to safety.

Charterer hereby releases, waives, and relinquishes Charterer’s rights and guest rights to the fullest extent permitted by law, to any and all claims of any sort whether in tort, contract, equity, or otherwise, which I, my heirs, administrators, executors, and assigns may or could have against the VESSEL “Papillon”, or their AFFILIATES, arising out of or in any way connected with my entry aboard the VESSEL or VESSEL ACTIVITIES, for injuries, death or property damage which I or they may suffer or sustain.
In addition to the release and waiver of liability described above, I agree that I shall
indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the VESSEL, “Papillon”, or their AFFILIATES for
any costs or liabilities which they may incur as a result of my participation in VESSEL
ACTIVITIES. If any lawsuit, action, or legal proceeding should be brought against the
VESSEL, “Papillon”, and/or their AFFILIATES by reason of any such claims or alleged
liability, Charterer agrees to defend such action or proceeding at Charterer’s sole expense by counsel reasonably satisfactory to “Papillon”, and its AFFILIATES.

or sub-clause here of is held invalid, it is agreed that the balance shall, notwithstanding,
continue in full force and legal effect.
