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. For damage it doesn't cover, your liability is usually limited to the security deposit, except where the operator's terms say otherwise. Operator terms: The boat is delivered duly insured under Italian law of 24/12/1969 no. 990.

Fuel isn't included — you return the tank full. Estimated from engine power: this boat's ~21 HP engine burns 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.

Not if you add a skipper — this boat offers one, who holds the licence. Generally, though: The skipper needs a valid sailing licence and VHF certificate, ideally issued by their country of residence (an ICC is widely accepted).

You can sail between good and safe ports within the Western Mediterranean. The boat is also approved for navigation within 50 miles of the coast. Please stay inside the area set out in your contract.

Yes. The boat is for your own cruising only: no carrying paying passengers or goods, no trade, no regattas or races, and no subletting. Towing is only allowed in a real emergency.

We can't be held responsible for delays or interrupted cruises caused by bad weather or orders from the maritime authority, and your rental period keeps running even if the boat can't leave port. You also agree not to leave the mooring when conditions or official bans make it unsafe.

If repairs on our side stop you from using the boat for more than 24 consecutive hours, your rental fee doesn't run for that period. If it goes beyond 48 hours, or the boat is lost, you can end the contract and get back what you prepaid for that time.

A late return is charged at one extra day's rental price for each day of delay, unless we agree otherwise. If you return to a different port, or the delay causes us further losses, you cover the cost of moving the boat back to the agreed port.
