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.

The boat is for private leisure use only. You may not race, tow another vessel (except in an emergency), sublet, carry more people than the licence permits, or sail after sunset, and you should sail within Greek waters unless we agree otherwise in writing.

Tell us in writing within office hours (10:00 to 18:00) straight away. If a machinery breakdown not caused by you prevents use for more than 24 hours in the Saronic Gulf (or 48 hours in the Cyclades and Eastern Peloponnese), you may claim a pro-rata refund or an equivalent extension.

Plan your itinerary so you reach your turnaround point within the first third of the charter, stay within 40 nautical miles of the base two days before the end, and berth at the home port by 17:00 on the day before disembarkation. Return the boat clean and in the same condition you received it.
