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 yacht has all-risk insurance covering third-party damages and damages from force majeure. Sails are not covered, nor is engine damage caused by lack of oil.

Not personally — a skipper is included with this boat and 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.

Animals and diving equipment are not allowed on board by default. If you want to bring either, ask us first, and we can agree it in advance.

You must stay within Croatian territorial waters. Daily navigation is limited to three hours, and you need our approval to go beyond that. Weekly navigation must not exceed 25 hours.

At takeover the skipper does a test drive with our representative. If we judge that they cannot handle the yacht, even with the right licenses, we may refuse to hand it over and hire a professional skipper at your cost.

You can't sub-charter the yacht or hand it to a third party, and you shouldn't sail at night in unsafe conditions. You also need to follow all public rules and laws. The number of people on board must match your crew list.

Contact us or the base manager straight away, using the numbers in the yacht documents on board. For larger damage or an accident, also report to the Harbour Master's Office and note the details in the log. If you can't make it back on time, tell the base manager. Late disembarkation costs are charged to you, so plan your route carefully.
