Daiquiri

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. For damage it doesn't cover, your liability is usually limited to the security deposit, except where the operator's terms say otherwise. Operator terms: The owner insures the yacht and equipment against fire, marine and collision risks, third-party damage, hull/machinery/equipment damage and sea pollution liability, as per Greek law. A deductible applies, depending on the yacht's value.

Fuel isn't included — you return the tank full. Estimated from engine power: this boat's ~60 HP engine burns roughly 4.8 L/h while motoring, so a typical week (about 3 h a day, ~21 h) works out to roughly 101 L ≈ €197 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 is for your party's private pleasure only. Racing, towing other craft (except in an emergency), subletting and weapons on board are not allowed. You also can't sail at night except in an emergency.

You need to stay within Greek territorial waters unless we agree otherwise in writing. Plan your route so you reach your farthest port within the first third of the charter. Two days before the end you should be within 40 nautical miles of the return point.

On a bareboat charter your group must include at least one qualified skipper and one experienced sailor. We may ask you to show your competence at sea with us aboard. If you don't pass, we can end the agreement or place a skipper aboard at your expense.

For safety you must not leave port or anchorage when the wind is, or is forecast to be, above Beaufort 6, or when harbour authorities ban sailing. Weather doesn't excuse a late return, so plan some buffer.

Late returns are charged at a penalty rate. On bareboat charters that is the daily charter rate plus 50% for each day or part-day. On skippered charters it can be up to 200% of the charter fee for the overrun. You may also be asked to cover any loss from the next charter.

Alimos Marina — also known as Kalamaki — holds the title of largest marina in the Balkans, sitting about 15 km southwest of central Athens and just 8 km from Piraeus. With hundreds of berths and solid facilities, it's a serious base for exploring the Saronic Gulf. Read more →
