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: Personal accidents and belongings not covered

Fuel isn't included — you return the tank full. This boat's ~30 HP engine burn roughly 2.4 L/h while motoring, so a typical week (about 3 h a day, ~21 h) works out to roughly 50 L ≈ €98 at €1.95/L — scale it to your own plans.

The skipper needs a valid sailing licence and VHF certificate, ideally issued by their country of residence (an ICC is widely accepted).

Chartering requires real navigation experience and knowledge of the rules. If we feel your or your crew's experience is not enough, you can choose to have a professional skipper navigate the boat at your cost for the full charter period; otherwise you may use the vessel only while moored at the marina.

We may replace it with a similar or better boat at no extra cost to you. If only a lower-value boat is available we refund the difference, and if no boat is available on the departure date we will work with you to postpone, refund the lost days, or cancel with a refund if the delay is significant.

Report any issue to us or the base as soon as it happens and confirm it in writing within 24 hours so we can help. Do not arrange repairs or third-party assistance without our prior written approval, except in a genuine emergency.

Generator, air conditioning, fridge and freezer are auxiliary equipment, so please use them reasonably and run the engine enough to power them. The watermaker must be used per the manufacturer's instructions, as improper use can disable it for the rest of the trip.

Cagliari's marina puts you right at the edge of La Marina, the city's historic waterfront quarter, where Sardinian seafood restaurants and centuries-old architecture are basically steps from the dock. Read more →
