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: Charterer liable for all loss or damage.

Fuel isn't included — you return the tank full. This boat's ~54 HP engine burn roughly 4.3 L/h while motoring, so a typical week (about 3 h a day, ~21 h) works out to roughly 90 L ≈ €168 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.

You must have good seamanship and enough experience to command a yacht of this class, or appoint a capable skipper. If neither you nor your skipper holds the necessary certificate, we may decline to hand over the boat or appoint a skipper on your behalf.

You should stay within our maritime region. Leaving it requires our prior written consent.

Yes. You should not leave the protected harbour when winds over Force 7 on the Beaufort scale are forecast.

Please return the yacht in proper working order, tidy, with all equipment properly stowed and the tanks full. Sailing shoes should be worn on board throughout, and you should keep a simple log.

Contact the base immediately by phone for any damage, collision or unusual event. If you need a tow, always use the yacht's own line and don't agree to any towing or salvage terms. Repairs over 100 euros need our approval first.

May–October, with the most reliable maestral winds and warm seas in June–September; July–August are the hottest and busiest.
