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 ~400 HP engines burn roughly 32 L/h while motoring, so a typical week (about 3 h a day, ~21 h) works out to roughly 672 L ≈ €1008 at €1.50/L — scale it to your own plans. Many skippers run one engine on passage to roughly halve fuel use — ask your operator if that’s fine for your boat.

No licence is required by Turkish law, but charter companies require proof of competence such as an ICC or RYA Day Skipper certificate.

Fethiye's marina sits right at the pulse of the Turkish Riviera, where you can hop on a boat tour to the surrounding bays and islands or just wander the never-ending waterfront promenade as the sun goes down. Read more →
