MY CHARACTER

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. For damage it doesn't cover, your liability is usually limited to the security deposit, except where the operator's terms say otherwise. Operator terms: All boats are insured against third-party liability, damage to hull, machinery and equipment, and sea pollution liability. A deductible applies, depending on the yacht's value.

Fuel isn't included, and on a powerboat it's the biggest variable cost. Estimated from engine power: at a typical planing cruise this boat's 350 HP engine burns roughly 53 L/h — about €103 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.

Not personally — a skipper is included with this boat and holds the licence. Generally, though: 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.

We offer charters from Lefkas, Corfu, Athens, the Cyclades, Skiathos, Volos, Kos and Rhodes. Choose the base that suits the cruising grounds you'd like to explore.

Your weekly rate covers the welcome kit, final cleaning, one set of bed sheets and towels per person, the first outboard fill, a spare gas bottle, and your first and last night at the marina. It also covers use of the yacht's equipment, including GPS, autopilot, dinghy and warm water.

Yes. You can add a skipper for EUR 190 per day or a hostess/cook for EUR 170 per day. Provisioning for the crew is extra, and both are paid in cash at the base.

Yes, a mandatory Standard Charter Pack is paid in cash at the base before you embark. It ranges from EUR 60 for a 2-cabin yacht to EUR 300 for the largest catamarans, depending on the boat's size. Optional extras like a kayak, SUP, gennaker or safety net are paid the same way.

Yes. Longer charters earn discounts of 5% for 2 weeks, 10% for 3 weeks and 15% for 4 weeks. Discounts can't be combined beyond a maximum of 15%.

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