Baba Sails

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. For damage it doesn't cover, your liability is usually limited to the security deposit, except where the operator's terms say otherwise. Operator terms: Each yacht has compulsory passenger insurance. The yacht insurance follows the insurer's terms.

Fuel isn't included — you return the tank full. Estimated from engine power: this boat's ~40 HP engine burns roughly 3.2 L/h while motoring, so a typical week (about 3 h a day, ~21 h) works out to roughly 67 L ≈ €131 at €1.95/L — scale it to your own plans.

Not personally — this boat requires a skipper, who holds the licence. Generally, though: 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 hand the yacht over clean, in working order and with full water and fuel tanks. We ask that you return it in the same condition.

Yes, please check the engine oil level every day. Damage caused by insufficient oil is not covered by the insurance, so this simple check protects you.

Yes, we need a list of your crew members' names and addresses four weeks before your charter begins.

Yes, accommodation aboard with a skipper is available. Please note that the security deposit still applies when a skipper is on board.

Small differences from the equipment list don't entitle you to a price reduction, as long as everything essential for safety and navigation is on board.

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