Frequently Asked Questions

Is this boat insured, and who pays for damage?

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.

How much will fuel cost?

Fuel isn't included — you return the tank full. This boat's ~65 HP engine burn roughly 5.2 L/h while motoring, so a typical week (about 3 h a day, ~21 h) works out to roughly 109 L ≈ €213 at €1.95/L — scale it to your own plans.

Do I need a sailing licence in Italy?

The skipper needs a valid sailing licence and VHF certificate, ideally issued by their country of residence (an ICC is widely accepted).

When is the best time to sail in Italy?

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