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. Operator terms: Recommended to obtain personal travel, cancellation, and liability insurance

Question 2

How much will fuel cost?

Accepted Answer

Fuel isn't included, and on a powerboat it's the biggest variable cost. At a typical planing cruise this boat's 300 HP engine burn roughly 45 L/h — about €88 an hour at €1.95/L. It depends heavily on speed: easing off the throttle cuts it sharply, running flat out raises it. Plan your fuel around the hours and speed you expect to cruise.

Question 3

Do I need a sailing licence in Greece?

Accepted Answer

Two crew with proof of competence are required — a skipper holding an ICC or national equivalent and a co-skipper who signs a declaration of sailing experience.

Question 4

What is the APA and how does it work?

Accepted Answer

These yachts are quoted on MYBA 'plus expenses' terms, so the charter fee covers the yacht, crew wages and food, but running costs like provisioning, berthing and fuel are charged at cost.

Question 5

Who decides the itinerary?

Accepted Answer

The captain has the final say on the route, evaluating prevailing weather and sea conditions for your safety and comfort. A private charter can change its port of call at any time, and while we'll try to secure your chosen berths, final berth allocation can't be guaranteed.

Question 6

Are tips for the crew expected?

Accepted Answer

Gratuities are entirely at your discretion. A tip of around 5 to 15 percent of the charter fee for the whole crew is commonly suggested, but you're under no obligation and the crew will never solicit one.

Question 7

Can we smoke on board?

Accepted Answer

Smoking is not permitted inside the vessel.

Question 8

Can we use jet skis and personal watercraft?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but only if the operator holds a licence approved by the local Greek port authorities and follows local operating regulations and law.

Question 9

When is the best time to sail in Greece?

Accepted Answer

April–October, hot and dry with the strong northerly Meltemi wind peaking in July–August, especially across the Cyclades.
