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.

Question 2

How much will fuel cost?

Accepted Answer

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.

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

On a crewed charter, what does the crew take care of?

Accepted Answer

On a fully crewed yacht the charter fee covers the crews wages, their food, cleaning materials and basic consumable stores, so the crew look after running the boat and keeping it clean. End cleaning is not charged on fully crewed yachts.

Question 5

Will the captain help plan our crewed trip?

Accepted Answer

Yes. After booking we send you a questionnaire about your travel plans, guest list, likes and dislikes and special requests, and pass it to the captain so he can pre-book berths, order the right provisions and arrange the chef for any celebrations.

Question 6

Can I add a skipper or cook to a bareboat charter?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can hire a skipper or a cook as an optional extra. Please note that the skipper or cook will need their own cabin on board, and provisioning for them is added on top.

Question 7

Can you arrange provisioning and airport transfers?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We can pre-order your provisions at no extra service fee using our provisioning list, and transfers to and from the airport can be arranged on request.

Question 8

When is the best time to sail in Greece?

Accepted Answer

April–October, hot and dry with the strong northerly Meltemi wind peaking in July–August, especially across the Cyclades.
