GOSAILING

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: All persons embarking strongly advised to obtain adequate travel insurance. Skippers strongly advised to obtain Skipper Liability Insurance.

Fuel isn't included — you return the tank full. This boat's ~50 HP engine burn roughly 4 L/h while motoring, so a typical week (about 3 h a day, ~21 h) works out to roughly 84 L ≈ €164 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.

Pets are not allowed on board unless we give you written consent in advance. Please ask us before booking if you would like to bring an animal.

We may ask you or your skipper to demonstrate navigation and handling skills with our representative present. If we feel the skills are not sufficient, we can arrange a professional skipper at your cost; this assessment time counts as part of the charter.

Yes. You can book a professional skipper for the whole or part of the charter, with no licence required from you. The skipper needs their own cabin and toilet, and you provide their meals.

Yes. You may not sail at night (from 30 minutes before sunset to 30 minutes after sunrise), sail single-handed, race or take part in regattas without our written consent, use the boat commercially, or operate it under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

Overnight stays and navigation in the western parts of Corfu, Paxos, Antipaxos, Lefkada, Kefalonia and Zante need our prior approval. Please also plan your route so the boat is within about 40 nautical miles of base two days before the charter ends.

April–October, hot and dry with the strong northerly Meltemi wind peaking in July–August, especially across the Cyclades.
