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: Lessee responsible for damages caused during charter period.

A recognised sailing licence is required, with an ICC typically requested for non-Spanish skippers chartering a bareboat.

No. Animals are not allowed on board, along with weapons, drugs and anything else prohibited under Spanish law. You may also only carry up to the number of people allowed by the vessel safety certificate.

The boat is for your own private recreational use with family, friends or your staff. Subletting, carrying paying passengers or goods, commercial fishing and taking part in regattas are not permitted.

Yes. We can decline to hand over the boat if the skipper does not appear to have the right skills and competence, even with a licence presented. In that case the contract ends and we return the amount paid less 20% for office expenses.

On a bareboat charter your sailing area is always limited to the area covered by the sailing licences you provide. Please make sure your qualifications match where you would like to cruise.

Contact us immediately so we can send our technical team or authorise a repair. For minor issues that do not stop the boat moving, you may need to head to a port on Mallorca for assistance; we also travel to Menorca and Ibiza if a mechanical failure prevents the boat from moving.

April–October across the Balearics and Costa Brava; reliable warm summers, busiest in July–August with the occasional afternoon thermal breeze.
