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 charter fee includes insurance for the yacht, third-party liability, the passengers and sea pollution.

Fuel isn't included — you return the tank full. Estimated from engine power: this boat's ~110 HP engine burns roughly 8.8 L/h while motoring, so a typical week (about 3 h a day, ~21 h) works out to roughly 185 L ≈ €361 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.

At least two people on board must hold a certified qualification to navigate sailing yachts at open sea. If only one of you is qualified, a second person can sign a written statement confirming their open-sea experience, and no proof is needed.

End cleaning is obligatory and you pay it in cash when you embark. It covers cleaning the yacht, cooking gas, spare outboard gasoline, bed linen, blankets, pillows and one set of towels per person.

Costs during your trip, such as water, provisions and port fees, are extra, as are any optional extras you request. Port fees for the day you embark and disembark are included.

We ask for a 30% advance when you sign the contract, and the remaining 70% is due at least 30 days before your start date. If you book within 30 days of departure, the full amount is due when you sign.
