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 vessels are covered by Kasko insurance with deductibles up to the deposit amount per the Price List, plus Compulsory Passenger Insurance and Compulsory Third Party Insurance. Passengers' personal property is not covered.

Fuel isn't included — you return the tank full. Estimated from engine power: 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.

Not if you add a skipper — this boat offers one, who holds the licence. Generally, though: The skipper needs a valid sailing licence and VHF certificate, ideally issued by their country of residence (an ICC is widely accepted).

Pets are not allowed unless we have given you prior written consent, so please ask before you book.

Yes. Night sailing and racing or regattas need our prior written consent, and you can't use the boat commercially or hand it over to a third party. Fishing and submarine activities need valid licences.

You shouldn't leave port if winds above 25 knots are expected or if the port authorities have banned departures. In gale-force conditions, let us know your exact location so we can help. Weather delays on the return are not excused, so plan to be well within range of the base for the last day.

We may ask you to show your competence by sailing the yacht with our representative, and that time counts as part of your charter. If we decide you aren't ready to skipper, we'll assign a skipper at the Price List rate, and refusing one means the charter can't go ahead.

Tell us right away and follow our instructions. For normal wear-and-tear problems you can arrange repairs up to EUR 150, which we reimburse when you return to base. Breakdowns fixed within 24 hours don't qualify for compensation.

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