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

Fuel isn't included — you return the tank full. This boat's ~75 HP engine burn roughly 6 L/h while motoring, so a typical week (about 3 h a day, ~21 h) works out to roughly 126 L ≈ €246 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. 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.

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.

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.

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.
