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.

Fuel isn't included — you return the tank full. This boat's ~110 HP engine burn roughly 8.8 L/h while motoring, so a typical week (about 3 h a day, ~21 h) works out to roughly 185 L ≈ €211 at €1.14/L — scale it to your own plans.

No sailing licence is required by Thai law, but charter companies require a sailing résumé showing experience on an equivalent boat.

November–April is the dry northeast-monsoon high season around Phuket; May–October is the wetter, windier southwest monsoon.
