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: All boats carry third-party liability insurance in line with Greek charter regulations. Depending on the yacht, it covers damages or equipment losses of 2,000 or 2,500 EUR and above.

Fuel isn't included — you return the tank full. Estimated from engine power: this boat's ~51 HP engine burns roughly 4.1 L/h while motoring, so a typical week (about 3 h a day, ~21 h) works out to roughly 86 L ≈ €168 at €1.95/L — scale it to your own plans.

Not if you add a skipper — this boat offers one, who holds the licence. Generally, though: Two crew with proof of competence are required — a skipper holding an ICC or national equivalent and a co-skipper who signs a declaration of sailing experience.

No. Racing and charters intended to leave the national borders are not allowed. They can lead to cancellation of the booking without a refund.

Yes. Any illegal activity is strictly prohibited, including carrying weapons or drugs. It is also severely prohibited to use the boat to transport people seeking a way in or out of Greece.

If the previous charterer left serious damage that makes the yacht unsafe or unsuitable, we will offer you an alternative yacht of the same category with the same number of cabins and heads. If it costs more, we cover the difference. If several options are available, you choose.

Yes. You can extend the check-in if you need more time to check everything. Write any comments on the last page of the Inventory List brochure, to be signed by you (or your skipper) and the base manager.

Extras and Obligatory Extras are paid at the base on your departure day, once check-in is complete. We accept cash or debit/credit card.

The Port of Volos sits right in the heart of Thessaly's capital, putting you steps away from the city's famous tsipouradika — the waterfront tavernas where locals pair tsipouro shots with endless small plates of seafood. Read more →
