Hey Y'all

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.

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 ≈ €208 at €1.55/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.

No mandatory national licence, but charter companies require a certified skipper and/or a sailing résumé demonstrating shallow-water and anchoring competence.

November–May is the prime, drier season with reliable trade winds; summer is hot and humid with hurricane risk June–November.
