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: All yachts are fully insured against damage to hull, gear and equipment, and for third-party liability, according to Greek legislation. The insurance does not cover the charterer's personal belongings or personal injuries.

Not if you add a skipper — this boat offers one, who holds the licence. Generally, though: 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.

The boat is for your private pleasure only. Racing, towing other boats (except in an emergency) and subletting without our written consent are not allowed. You also can't take the boat outside Greek seas or carry anyone who isn't on your crew/passenger list.

Your group needs a qualified skipper plus an experienced crew member, and at least two people with a sailing certificate or sufficient experience as we judge it from your sailing resume. If we're not satisfied with your competence at handover, we may place a skipper aboard at your expense, or end the agreement.

You can't exceed the boat's maximum number of persons (PAX) in its documents. Only people on your crew/passenger manifest can stay aboard.

Please bring it back cleaned-up, with all its equipment, in the same good condition as when you took it over. Return it to the agreed port at the agreed time.

Returning late, including because of weather, means paying a daily charge of the daily charter price plus 50% for each day or part of a day. So plan your route to be back on time, and don't sail when conditions are doubtful.

April–October, hot and dry with the strong northerly Meltemi wind peaking in July–August, especially across the Cyclades.
