Asterix

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: Vessel is covered by third-party liability insurance (compulsory) and comprehensive (Casco) insurance up to registered vessel value. Casco covers damage exceeding deposit amount but not damage caused intentionally or due to gross negligence.

Fuel isn't included — you return the tank full. This boat's ~39 HP engine burn roughly 3.1 L/h while motoring, so a typical week (about 3 h a day, ~21 h) works out to roughly 65 L ≈ €122 at €1.87/L — scale it to your own plans.

At least one crew member must hold a recognised sailing licence (ICC or national equivalent) plus a VHF/SRC radio operator certificate, both checked on arrival.

Pets such as dogs, cats or birds are only allowed with our prior permission, so please ask before you book. If we agree, an additional cleaning charge applies per our price list.

You're free to cruise within Croatian territorial waters; leaving them is only possible with our prior written consent. Please sail only in safe weather with good visibility and avoid clearly dangerous areas.

If we find that the person in charge doesn't have the navigation skills needed to operate the vessel, we can stop the boat leaving and appoint an official skipper to join you, charged per our price list. If that skipper is refused, we may keep the boat ashore.

We don't recommend sailing at night, and ask that you don't enter regattas or races without our consent, tow other boats, sub-let or lend the boat, or carry more people than it's registered for.

Please return the boat clean and tidy with the fuel tank full, ready to sail again, just as you received it. Take all rubbish off and leave it in the marina's designated bin area. Note the sails aren't insured, so take care to avoid overloading them.

Marina Zadar puts you right in the thick of it — 300 sea berths and 200 dry berths, all naturally sheltered from the wind, making it one of the more reliably calm spots on the Dalmatian coast. Read more →
