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.

Fuel isn't included — you return the tank full. This boat's ~75 HP engine burn roughly 6 L/h while motoring, so a typical week (about 3 h a day, ~21 h) works out to roughly 126 L ≈ €246 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).

The boat is for private recreational use only. You may not sublet it, carry cargo or passengers for any commercial activity, take part in regattas or nautical events, or tow (or be towed by) other vessels except in a genuine emergency.

Yes. You must respect any port authority bans for bad weather and never sail in seas above force 6, or whenever forecasts warn of dangerous conditions. Plan your itinerary so you can return on time and head back early if the weather turns.

Notify us immediately and do not carry out any repairs without our authorization. You may only continue sailing if it won't worsen the damage or endanger people or the boat.

If the boat suffers a fault to the engine, transmission, batteries or alternator that isn't your responsibility, and it occurs in the waters between Porto Badino, the Pontine Islands and the Flegree Islands, we will let you recover the lost hours as a credit toward a future charter. Cash refunds are not provided.

Return the boat in the same condition you received it, with all accessories and documents, at the agreed time and port. Returning it to a different port counts as late and means you cover the costs of moving the boat back to the proper port.

May–October, warm and settled in summer; July–August are hottest and busiest, with afternoon thermal breezes common.
