Barchetta VII

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: Charterer responsible for all damage not covered by insurance policy.

Fuel isn't included — you return the tank full. This boat's ~114 HP engines burn roughly 9.1 L/h while motoring, so a typical week (about 3 h a day, ~21 h) works out to roughly 191 L ≈ €372 at €1.95/L — scale it to your own plans. Many skippers run one engine on passage to roughly halve fuel use — ask your operator if that’s fine for your boat.

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.

You're welcome to cruise throughout Greek waters, but the yacht must stay within the Greek seas unless we give written consent otherwise. We also ask that you plan your route so you're never more than 40 nautical miles from the return marina in the final two days.

Yes. We may ask you and your crew to demonstrate that you can handle and navigate the yacht safely by taking her out with one of our representatives aboard. If we're not satisfied, we can place an experienced sailor on board at your expense for as long as needed.

Yes, your party can number up to 10 people at sea, and everyone aboard must be listed on the crew and passenger manifest. We ask that the party include at least one qualified skipper and one experienced crew member.

For your safety, please don't leave port or anchorage if the wind is, or is forecast to be, over force 6 on the Beaufort scale, if the authorities have banned sailing, or if any vital equipment isn't in good working order.

The yacht is for your private pleasure only. Please don't use her for racing or for towing other craft except in an emergency, and avoid sailing at night without all navigation lights working and a proper watch on deck.

Zea Marina is one of the finest superyacht harbors in the Mediterranean, sitting right in the heart of Piraeus with a history stretching back to ancient Athens when it served as a major naval port. Read more →
