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: Sailing yachts insured according to Greek law against liability to third parties and damage to hull, machinery and equipment. Owner insures against loss or damage in excess of €2,500.

Fuel isn't included — you return the tank full. This boat's ~45 HP engine burn roughly 3.6 L/h while motoring, so a typical week (about 3 h a day, ~21 h) works out to roughly 76 L ≈ €148 at €1.95/L — scale it to your own plans.

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.

Yes, pets are welcome. We just ask for a double end-cleaning fee when you bring one along.

We may ask you and your crew to demonstrate your competence by taking the yacht out with one of our representatives aboard. If we're not satisfied it's safe, we can place a skipper on board at your cost for as long as needed.

Your cruising area is the Greek seas. We also ask that you plan your route to reach your farthest port within the first third of the charter, and to be within about 40 nautical miles of base two days before you return.

Please don't leave port or anchorage when the wind is, or is forecast to be, over Beaufort 6, or when the harbour authorities have banned sailing. Reduce sail promptly in strong conditions and don't sail at night without all navigation lights working and a proper watch on deck.

The yacht is for your private pleasure only. Please don't sub-let or rent out cabins, enter races or regattas, run sailing courses, or tow another vessel except in an emergency. Fishing or diving for archaeological objects is also prohibited.
