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. Operator terms: All boats insured according to Greek law, covering liability to third parties and damage to hull, machinery, and equipment, with a variable deductible

How much will fuel cost?

Fuel isn't included — you return the tank full. This boat's ~60 HP engine burn 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.

Do I need a sailing licence in Greece?

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.

Does someone other than the licenced skipper need sailing experience?

Yes. For a bareboat charter the Greek Coast Guard requires a second crew member who can demonstrate basic sailing skills, in addition to the licenced sailor.

Will you check our sailing experience before confirming?

Yes. Your booking is only considered accepted after we verify the skipper's sailing licence and sailing resume, so please have these ready.

How long are your charters?

Charters run in whole-week multiples from our base at Alimos Marina in Kalamaki, Athens.
