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: Yachts insured against risks from liability to third parties, damage to hull/machinery/equipment, damage liability for third parties and passengers, and sea pollution liability.

Fuel isn't included — you return the tank full. This boat's ~28 HP engine burn roughly 2.2 L/h while motoring, so a typical week (about 3 h a day, ~21 h) works out to roughly 46 L ≈ €90 at €1.95/L — scale it to your own plans.

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.

You need two experienced people aboard: a skipper with an appropriate sailing certificate or proof of sailing club membership, and a co-skipper with sailing experience. The harbor authority may ask for written declarations of competence, and we reserve the right to ask you to hire a professional skipper if your skills aren't judged…

Yes, you can add a skipper or a hostess for a daily fee. We can also arrange extras such as a SUP or kayak, an outboard engine, Wi-Fi, a railing net and junior life jackets.

End cleaning is obligatory and is paid at the base before embarkation, in cash or by card. The cost depends on the size of the yacht, from smaller two-cabin boats up to larger five-cabin ones.

Yes. We can organize car, taxi or minivan transfers from nearby airports and cities, and a one-way charter to a different base for a fee. We can also have your food and drinks on board when you arrive if you send back the provisioning order form.

Please tell us about any problems during your charter or at check-out, while you're still at the base. Claims sent by email after the charter has ended and after check-out with no complaints raised cannot be accepted.

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