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: Charter cancellation insurance is strongly recommended. Insurance cover may lapse if damage is reported late or incompletely.

Fuel isn't included, and on a powerboat it's the biggest variable cost. Estimated from engine power: at a typical planing cruise this boat's 150 HP engine burns roughly 23 L/h — about €43 an hour at €1.87/L. It depends heavily on speed: easing off the throttle cuts it sharply, running flat out raises it. Plan your fuel around the hours and speed you expect to cruise.

Not if you add a skipper — this boat offers one, who holds the licence. Generally, though: At least one crew member must hold a recognised sailing licence (ICC or national equivalent) plus a VHF/SRC radio operator certificate, both checked on arrival.

You must stay within Croatian territorial waters for the whole charter. Leaving them is not permitted under our terms.

Yes. You can't sublet or hand the boat to third parties, carry people or goods for payment, or take part in races or regattas. If you need a tow, agree the salvage fee before you accept any help.

Only the people listed on your crew list or in the listing may be aboard, and you can't exceed that number. Please also register your crew with the tourist authorities.

For minor wear-and-tear repairs up to EUR 180, you can have them fixed straight away and we'll settle it with you later if you keep the receipts and the replaced parts. For bigger damage or an accident, call us immediately and document everything.

Weather doesn't excuse a late return. Overdue time is charged at double the charter fee, plus compensation if the delay causes the next charter to fall through. To avoid this, stay close to the return port during your last 24 hours.

May–October, with the most reliable maestral winds and warm seas in June–September; July–August are the hottest and busiest.
