Frequently Asked Questions

Is this boat insured, and who pays for damage?
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: All yachts have comprehensive hull (kasko) and third-party liability insurance, including skipper coverage. The charter fee includes insurance for the vessel and third-party liability.
How much will fuel cost?
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 ≈ €122 at €1.33/L — scale it to your own plans.
Do I need a sailing licence in Malta?
Not personally — a skipper is included with this boat and holds the licence. Generally, though: A recognised sailing licence is required and, by Maltese law, the skipper must also hold a VHF radio operator licence.
What does the skipper do on board?
Your professional skipper commands the yacht and makes the final calls on safety, navigation and operation. We ask you and your guests to follow their safety instructions and to leave the yacht's systems and navigation equipment to them.
Where am I allowed to sail?
The yacht operates within Maltese and nearby Mediterranean waters. If you'd like to go further afield, we'll need to agree it with you in writing beforehand.
What happens if the weather turns bad?
Your skipper can change the itinerary for weather, safety or operational reasons, so you may end up in a different bay or harbour than planned. Their priority is keeping everyone safe.
Can I end the trip early, or is there anything that could end it for me?
If you ask to return to port early, we can't refund the unused charter time. The skipper may also end the charter without a refund if anyone's behaviour endangers the vessel, the crew or themselves, for example through intoxication, aggression or illegal acts.
What condition should I leave the yacht in?
The yacht is handed over clean, fully equipped and seaworthy. Please leave it tidy and take all your personal belongings with you.
When is the best time to sail in Malta?
April–November; long, hot, dry summers with light-to-moderate breezes and one of the longest sailing seasons in the Mediterranean.
