Question 1

Is this boat insured, and who pays for damage?

Accepted Answer

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: Security deposit covers potential yacht or equipment damage

Question 2

How much will fuel cost?

Accepted Answer

Fuel isn't included — you return the tank full. This boat's ~57 HP engine burn roughly 4.6 L/h while motoring, so a typical week (about 3 h a day, ~21 h) works out to roughly 97 L ≈ €189 at €1.95/L — scale it to your own plans.

Question 3

Do I need a sailing licence in Greece?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 4

Could you require us to take a skipper even on a bareboat charter?

Accepted Answer

Yes. If any doubt about your sailing skills arises during embarkation or later, we reserve the right to require you to hire a skipper. The port authorities may also ask the skipper for a sailing experience declaration.

Question 5

Whose responsibility is the weather during the charter?

Accepted Answer

You are responsible for staying aware of upcoming weather and acting accordingly to keep the crew and yacht safe. If you sail in harsh conditions you do so at your own risk, and the coastguard may charge you for any needless callout caused by a lack of seamanship.

Question 6

If we book a skipper or crew, what do we need to provide?

Accepted Answer

The crew must sleep on board for their whole period of service, so they need their own cabin. You are also responsible for providing all crew with their daily meals or the equivalent cost.

Question 7

How are the skipper and crew fees paid?

Accepted Answer

Any skipper, hostess, or cook fee is agreed in advance in writing and must be paid in full in cash upon embarkation, as are any other extras.
