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. You can lower the deposit by adding the operator’s damage waiver. Operator terms: Owner insures yacht and equipment against fire, marine and collision risks, third party damage per Greek law. Charterer relieved of liability for covered losses unless caused by gross negligence or wilful default.

Fuel isn't included — you return the tank full. This boat's ~75 HP engine burn roughly 6 L/h while motoring, so a typical week (about 3 h a day, ~21 h) works out to roughly 126 L ≈ €246 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.

At least one qualified skipper and one experienced crew member must be aboard, and the person skippering must be qualified according to the law.

Yes. We may ask you and your crew to demonstrate competence by sailing the boat with our representative aboard. If you don't satisfy us, we can place a seaman aboard at your expense for as long as we consider necessary for safety.

The boat is for private pleasure only. You may not race it, tow other craft (except in an emergency), take it outside Greek waters, or sublet it, without our written consent.

Do not leave port or anchorage if the wind is or is forecast to be over Beaufort 6, if the authorities have banned sailing, if any vital part isn't working, or whenever the safety of the boat or crew is in doubt. Avoid sailing at night without all navigation lights and a proper watch.

Plan your itinerary so you reach the farthest port within the first third of the charter, and so that two days before the end you're within about 40 nautical miles of the return port.
