Bavaria 45 Cruiser

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: The boat is delivered with a Mediterranean kasko (fully comprehensive) policy up to total loss, with an allowance (excess) covered by the Charterer's security deposit. It also has a compulsory third-party liability policy.

Fuel isn't included — you return the tank full. Estimated from engine power: this boat's ~55 HP engine burns roughly 4.4 L/h while motoring, so a typical week (about 3 h a day, ~21 h) works out to roughly 92 L ≈ €179 at €1.95/L — scale it to your own plans.

Not if you add a skipper — this boat offers one, who holds the licence. Generally, though: The skipper needs a valid sailing licence and VHF certificate, ideally issued by their country of residence (an ICC is widely accepted).

Unfortunately not. No animals may be kept on board during the charter.

The boat is for pleasure use by you and your crew only. Carrying paying passengers or goods, any commercial activity, regattas and towing another boat (except in an absolute emergency) are not allowed.

You must follow Port Authority orders and not sail in seas above force six or when forecasts warn of dangerous conditions. Plan your itinerary so you can return on time, even by heading back early if bad weather is forecast.

Tell us immediately and don't carry out any repairs without our authorisation. Assistance can be requested between 08:00 and 20:00. If a major system such as the engine, rigging or sails is out of action for over 12 hours through no fault of yours, we offer the lost time back or a credit note rather than a cash refund.

A late return means paying an amount equal to the boat's weekly hire for that period, plus any costs the delay causes the next crew, such as lodging. Returning to a different port than agreed also counts as late, and you cover the cost of moving the boat.
