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 refundable security deposit covers damage or loss of the yacht and equipment during the charter.

Fuel isn't included — you return the tank full. Estimated from engine power: this boat's ~75 HP engine burns 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.

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.

You're expected to follow the forecast and plan your sailing so you stay safe and can get back on time. In harsh weather you navigate at your own risk, and the Coastguard may charge you for any unnecessary rescue call-out caused by poor seamanship or ignoring conditions.

We may require you to hire a skipper if any doubt about your sailing skills arises at embarkation or later during the charter. Port authorities can also ask the skipper for a sailing experience declaration.

Yes, we can provide a professional skipper for the whole charter, and a hostess or cook too. Fees are agreed in writing beforehand and paid in cash at embarkation. Crew need their own cabin on board, and you provide their daily meals or the equivalent cost.

Extra charges apply for late returns, as set out in your Charter Party Agreement. You're responsible for allowing for the weather so you can return at the agreed place and time.

Extras and any crew fees are paid in cash when you embark. The charter fee itself is paid by bank transfer.
