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: 3rd party liability insurance covers damages or equipment losses of 2,000 or 2,500 euros and above depending on yacht. Damage waiver and security deposit insurance not offered by company; charterers advised to contact their own insurance broker.

Fuel isn't included — you return the tank full. This boat's ~51 HP engine burn 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.

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.

The boat cannot be used for racing, for crossing national borders, or for any illegal activity such as transporting weapons, drugs, or people seeking to enter or leave Greek borders.

Yes. We provide the boat in the best possible condition, and you're welcome to extend the check-in to inspect every detail. Any comments should be noted on the last page of the inventory list and signed by you (or your skipper) and the base manager.

If a serious issue makes the yacht unsafe before embarkation, we'll offer an alternative of the same category with the same number of cabins and heads, and we cover any price difference. Brand or model age may differ. If two or more options exist, you choose.
