Question 1

Is this boat insured, and who pays for damage?

Accepted Answer

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: Client liable for all damages not covered by insurance, including potential business losses

Question 2

How much will fuel cost?

Accepted Answer

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 ≈ €251 at €1.87/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.

Question 3

Do I need a sailing licence in Croatia?

Accepted Answer

At least one crew member must hold a recognised sailing licence (ICC or national equivalent) plus a VHF/SRC radio operator certificate, both checked on arrival.

Question 4

Can I bring pets on board?

Accepted Answer

Animals may only be brought aboard with our prior consent, so please ask us before booking if you'd like to bring a pet.

Question 5

Will my sailing skills be checked before I take the boat?

Accepted Answer

Yes. If the base manager determines that you don't have the knowledge or ability to operate the boat safely, they can require a professional skipper for the safety of crew and vessel, which involves an additional charge. By signing the contract you confirm you have the skills and knowledge to manage the boat safely.

Question 6

Where am I allowed to sail?

Accepted Answer

You agree not to sail out of Croatian waters; any exception requires a special written permit. You should also sail only in safe weather, and on a sailboat you must not leave a sheltered harbour in wind gusts of 25 knots or more.

Question 7

What uses of the boat are not allowed?

Accepted Answer

You may not rent or lend the boat to others, use it commercially or for professional fishing, or take part in regattas without our explicit consent. Except in emergencies, you also shouldn't use the boat to tow or recover other vessels.

Question 8

How many people can be on board?

Accepted Answer

You may carry only the maximum permitted number of people, all listed on the crew list. Any change of crew must be reported to us and to the relevant authorities.
