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. 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 yacht has comprehensive hull insurance for property damage to boat and equipment, and boat liability insurance without deductible covering at least EUR/USD 1 million.

Question 2

How much will fuel cost?

Accepted Answer

Fuel isn't included — you return the tank full. Estimated from engine power: this boat's ~80 HP engine burns roughly 6.4 L/h while motoring, so a typical week (about 3 h a day, ~21 h) works out to roughly 134 L ≈ €261 at €1.95/L — scale it to your own plans.

Question 3

Do I need a sailing licence in Greece?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 4

Can I sail if the weather turns bad?

Accepted Answer

If the forecast shows 7 Bft or more for your planned leg, you must stay in your sheltered port or berth. Take extra care when sailing at night. Weather is not an excuse for a late return, so in your last 24 hours keep close enough to the return port to arrive on time even if conditions worsen.

Question 5

Where am I allowed to sail?

Accepted Answer

You may sail only within the sea area set out in the charter contract and ship's papers. Leaving it needs our express consent. In uncertain or unusual conditions we can narrow the area or impose a night sailing ban.

Question 6

What sailing experience does my skipper need?

Accepted Answer

Your skipper must have the nautical and navigational experience to handle the yacht safely under sail and engine in your whole sailing area. We may ask for proof of experience and check their ability before handover. If they clearly aren't up to it, we can arrange a skipper at your cost or refuse to hand over the yacht.

Question 7

How many people can come aboard?

Accepted Answer

Only the people named on your crew list, and no more than the yacht is permitted to carry. You need to give us the full crew list before the charter starts.

Question 8

What should I do if something breaks during my charter?

Accepted Answer

Report any damage or breakdown to us straight away by phone or radio. You can fix minor wear-and-tear problems up to EUR 150 yourself and be reimbursed against a receipt. For bigger repairs, agree the work with us first and keep any replaced parts. If damage is not your fault, you may be entitled to a price reduction for lost time.

Question 9

When is the best time to sail in Greece?

Accepted Answer

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