Question 1

Is this boat insured, and who pays for damage?

Accepted Answer

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: Recommended cancellation insurance

Question 2

How much will fuel cost?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 3

Do I need a sailing licence in Greece?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 4

Will my sailing experience be assessed?

Accepted Answer

We may ask you to submit a sailing resume so we can judge whether you can sail safely. We reserve the right to decline the charter or to require you to hire a professional skipper if your skills aren't deemed sufficient.

Question 5

Does my whole crew need sailing credentials?

Accepted Answer

Under Greek law at least two crew members need sailing credentials. The skipper must carry their original certificate, while the second crew member can give the local coast guard a signed declaration confirming their sailing experience.

Question 6

Is there any paperwork done with the authorities before we sail?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Your charter runs on a Charter Party Contract, the standard charter contract in Greece, which is approved by the coast guard before you set off.

Question 7

How long do I have to raise an issue after my charter?

Accepted Answer

Please raise any claim within 5 working days of the charter's end day, supported by our charter documents. The signed delivery and redelivery statements are the only official record of the boat's condition.
