This document is intended to provide full transparency regarding the monetization methods, the use of commercial affiliate links, and the management of external links present on Catamarano Skipper (accessible at https://catamaranoskipper.com/), hereinafter referred to as the "Website", operated by Giuseppe Antonio Capano (VAT ID: IT03863740787).
1. What Are Affiliate Links
Certain articles, itineraries, equipment reviews, guides, or informational pages on this Website may contain specific outbound hyperlinks known as "affiliate links."
If a User clicks on one of these links and makes a purchase or completes an action (such as booking a boat rental/charter, purchasing travel or marine insurance, or buying technical gear and accessories) on the partner platform, Catamarano Skipper may receive a referral commission or percentage of the transaction.
2. No Additional Cost to the User
Using affiliate links never results in any additional cost, surcharge, or price markup for the user. The final price of the rental, service, or product remains exactly the same as if the user accessed the provider’s platform directly.
Commissions earned through affiliate programs help support web hosting infrastructure, technical maintenance, and the independent editorial production of sailing guides and navigation routes.

The inclusion and recommendation of catamarans, charter companies, nautical accessories, technical sailing apparel, onboard electronics, marinas, or related services are based primarily on criteria of utility, maritime safety, and high quality for skippers, crew members, and boat holiday enthusiasts.
Commercial partnerships do not influence our editorial integrity, route recommendations, or technical evaluations. We only highlight products, platforms, and services deemed reliable and compliant with industry safety and quality standards.
