BLU

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: Guest responsible for any damage, missing items, or breakage discovered at return; must reimburse for repairs

Fuel isn't included — you return the tank full. This boat's ~21 HP engine burn roughly 1.7 L/h while motoring, so a typical week (about 3 h a day, ~21 h) works out to roughly 36 L ≈ €70 at €1.95/L — scale it to your own plans.

The skipper needs a valid sailing licence and VHF certificate, ideally issued by their country of residence (an ICC is widely accepted).

The boat must be used between safe, good harbours within the Western Mediterranean. Please plan your route to stay within that area for the whole charter.

Yes, you must respect the minimum and maximum number of passengers, and the boat may not be used to carry paying passengers or cargo or for any kind of trade. Please also let us know your position once a week during the charter.

No. Please don't enter the boat in any regatta or nautical competition, and don't tow or be towed by another vessel except in a genuine emergency.

Please don't leave your mooring when the authorities have banned navigation or when sea and weather conditions, or the state of the boat, would put people or the boat at risk. Note that delays or interruptions caused by bad weather don't pause the charter or create a refund.

Please return the boat at the agreed time and place with the same fuel, oil and cooling-water levels as at handover, and replace anything missing or broken against the inventory list you confirmed on arrival.
