Sailtours

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: Yacht third party liability insurance according to mandatory Portuguese Law is included in rental rates.

Fuel isn't included — you return the tank full. This boat's ~38 HP engine burn roughly 3 L/h while motoring, so a typical week (about 3 h a day, ~21 h) works out to roughly 63 L ≈ €122 at €1.93/L — scale it to your own plans.

A recognised sailing licence is required — EU-issued licences and the ICC are accepted; confirm acceptance with the base in advance.

Your rate covers use of the yacht and its equipment, clean linen and towels (one set per person), a full reserve gas bottle for the galley, a welcome kit, two snorkelling kits, the dinghy on request, and mooring in Angra do Heroismo marina.

No, final cleaning is mandatory but charged separately and isn't part of the charter price.

Anything listed as an extra is paid in cash, at the base and directly to us, before you depart.

Mooring in Angra do Heroismo marina is included, but mooring fees at any other marina during your charter are at your own expense.

Opened in 2004, Marina d'Angra sits just 50 meters from the UNESCO-listed historic center of Angra do Heroísmo, tucked inside the bay on Terceira Island's southern shore. Read more →
