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: Charterer shall carry independent insurance for Personal Effects whilst on board or ashore and for Medical or Accident expenses not covered under Vessel's insurance.

Fuel isn't included — you return the tank full. This boat's ~160 HP engines burn roughly 12.8 L/h while motoring, so a typical week (about 3 h a day, ~21 h) works out to roughly 269 L ≈ €525 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).

We provide a suitably qualified captain and an experienced crew who are uniformed, fed and insured. The captain will give you the same attention as the owner and follow your reasonable instructions, wind and weather permitting, but won't take the yacht anywhere unsafe.

Please keep cruising within the agreed cruising area, in regions the yacht is legally permitted to visit. Time under way is limited to an average of six hours per day, unless the captain agrees at his discretion to exceed it.

No pets or other animals may be brought on board without our written consent.

You can't exceed the maximum number of guests sleeping or cruising on board. The captain may, at his discretion, allow a reasonable number of additional visitors while the yacht is securely moored in port.

The captain may stop you or any guest from using a particular piece of watersports equipment if he reasonably feels you aren't competent, are being unsafe, or aren't showing due care for others.
