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: Tenant liable for all damage and loss including towing and salvage costs during rental period.

Question 2

How much will fuel cost?

Accepted Answer

Fuel isn't included — you return the tank full. This boat's ~75 HP engine burn roughly 6 L/h while motoring, so a typical week (about 3 h a day, ~21 h) works out to roughly 126 L ≈ €246 at €1.95/L — scale it to your own plans.

Question 3

Do I need a sailing licence in Greece?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 4

Where are we allowed to sail?

Accepted Answer

The sailing area covers the Greek Ionian Sea and the Gulf of Amvrakia. If you'd like to venture further, that's only possible with our written agreement beforehand.

Question 5

What sailing experience does the crew need?

Accepted Answer

Your skipper and co-skipper must hold the right certificates, have sufficient sailing skill for the area, and be at least 21. We may ask for a sailing CV in advance, and if there's clear incompetence on the water we can place an instructor on board at your cost.

Question 6

Can we bring a pet on board?

Accepted Answer

Pets are allowed only if you mention them when booking, so please let us know in advance.

Question 7

What are the rules on smoking, night sailing and racing?

Accepted Answer

Smoking inside the cabin is not permitted, and you may not sail at night except in an emergency or take part in competitions without telling us when you book.

Question 8

What happens in bad weather?

Accepted Answer

You may not sail in wind force 6 or more or in unfavourable conditions. In bad weather we may revise the plan and decide that sailing isn't allowed, for everyone's safety.

Question 9

When is the best time to sail in Greece?

Accepted Answer

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