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 ~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 ≈ €135 at €1.50/L — scale it to your own plans.

No licence is required by Turkish law, but charter companies require proof of competence such as an ICC or RYA Day Skipper certificate.

Gümbet Marina sits just outside Bodrum's main bay, giving you a quieter base while staying close to the action. It's a zero-waste certified facility and the first marina in Bodrum to hold a Safe Tourism Certificate — so it's well-run and takes its standards seriously. Read more →
