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.

Fuel isn't included — you return the tank full. This boat's ~56 HP engine burn roughly 4.5 L/h while motoring, so a typical week (about 3 h a day, ~21 h) works out to roughly 95 L ≈ €185 at €1.95/L — scale it to your own plans.

No formal licence is legally required for most charter yachts, but operators expect documented experience or an equivalent qualification (Sweden does not accept the ICC scheme).

Tucked away on Ringön in central Gothenburg, this small, sheltered marina offers 14 guest berths that are easy to dock at and well protected from the wind. You'll find all the essentials on-site — toilets, showers, sauna, a well-equipped laundry room, and diesel. Read more →
