Zeta

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: Vessels covered with Kasko deductible franchises up to deposit amount. Includes Compulsory Passenger Insurance and Compulsory Third Party Insurance.

Fuel isn't included — you return the tank full. This boat's ~80 HP engines burn roughly 6.4 L/h while motoring, so a typical week (about 3 h a day, ~21 h) works out to roughly 134 L ≈ €261 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.

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

Yes. We may ask you to demonstrate your competence by handling the boat in front of our representative before you set off. If we feel you're not ready to be in charge, we'll provide a professional skipper, charged separately, and the test time counts as part of your charter.

Pets such as dogs, cats and birds may only come aboard with our prior written consent, so please ask us before you book if you'd like to bring an animal.

Night sailing and any racing or regattas are only allowed with our prior written agreement. We also ask that you don't leave port if winds above 25 knots are expected or if the port authorities have issued a ban.

For normal wear and tear you may arrange a repair of up to EUR 150 and we'll reimburse it on return. For anything more serious, contact us straight away and follow our instructions; unreported damage will be treated as your responsibility.

Please return the boat in the same condition you received it, with full fuel and water tanks and the holding tanks emptied at sea. We'll inspect the inventory together at check-in and at handover.

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