The Maestro Cat

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 ~60 HP engines burn roughly 4.8 L/h while motoring, so a typical week (about 3 h a day, ~21 h) works out to roughly 101 L ≈ €197 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.

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.

We're happy to suggest an itinerary and the best places to visit based on your time. Please keep plans flexible, as weather and other conditions can change things along the way.

For your safety, the captain's decision is always final when it comes to the safety of the passengers and the yacht, in line with the Safety of Life at Sea regulations.

End cleaning is a compulsory extra of 250 euros per booking, paid at the base before you embark.

If your charter includes a skipper, the skipper's fee is paid in cash on your embarkation day.

That's possible, but a delivery or redelivery fee applies when a yacht is asked to start or end a charter away from its home port.

April–October, hot and dry with the strong northerly Meltemi wind peaking in July–August, especially across the Cyclades.
