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 yachts have third-party liability, personal accident and comprehensive insurance, with a deductible approximately equal to the deposit under the price list. Guests' personal property is not insured.

Fuel isn't included — you return the tank full. Estimated from engine power: this boat's ~1000 HP engine burns roughly 80 L/h while motoring, so a typical week (about 3 h a day, ~21 h) works out to roughly 1680 L ≈ €3142 at €1.87/L — scale it to your own plans.

Not personally — a skipper is included with this boat and holds the licence. Generally, though: At least one crew member must hold a recognised sailing licence (ICC or national equivalent) plus a VHF/SRC radio operator certificate, both checked on arrival.

Only by prior arrangement. Please check with us before you book rather than bringing a pet on board without agreement.

You must stay within Croatian waters during your charter. You also need to follow the local regulations of the countries you visit.

Night cruising needs our prior consent. We also ask you not to leave a safe berth when the wind is above 25 knots.

Plan your trip so you can be back on time, because weather delays are not accepted as an excuse for a late return. If weather becomes alarming, inform us immediately.

At handover we check that you can navigate safely. If there is any doubt, you'll need to book a skipper, charged according to the price list. You can also request a skipper, deckhand or hostess when you book.

May–October, with the most reliable maestral winds and warm seas in June–September; July–August are the hottest and busiest.
