Question 1

Is this boat insured, and who pays for damage?

Accepted Answer

Yes — every boat on charter.boats is insured by its operator; we require it. The policy covers the vessel for fire, collision and third-party liability. You're only responsible for damage it doesn't cover, and that's capped at the security deposit.

Question 2

How much will fuel cost?

Accepted Answer

Fuel isn't included — you return the tank full. This boat's ~230 HP engines burn roughly 18.4 L/h while motoring, so a typical week (about 3 h a day, ~21 h) works out to roughly 386 L ≈ €753 at €1.95/L — scale it to your own plans. Many skippers run one engine on passage to roughly halve fuel use — ask your operator if that’s fine for your boat.

Question 3

Do I need a sailing licence in Italy?

Accepted Answer

The skipper needs a valid sailing licence and VHF certificate, ideally issued by their country of residence (an ICC is widely accepted).

Question 4

When is the best time to sail in Italy?

Accepted Answer

May–October, warm and settled in summer; July–August are hottest and busiest, with afternoon thermal breezes common.
