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. Operator terms: Charterer covers costs of damaged or lost items; Lessor deducts from deposit.

Question 2

How much will fuel cost?

Accepted Answer

Fuel isn't included — you return the tank full. This boat's ~30 HP engine burn roughly 2.4 L/h while motoring, so a typical week (about 3 h a day, ~21 h) works out to roughly 50 L ≈ €94 at €1.87/L — scale it to your own plans.

Question 3

Do I need a sailing licence in Croatia?

Accepted Answer

At least one crew member must hold a recognised sailing licence (ICC or national equivalent) plus a VHF/SRC radio operator certificate, both checked on arrival.

Question 4

Where am I allowed to sail?

Accepted Answer

You're free to cruise anywhere within Croatian territorial waters. The boat must stay within these limits for the duration of your charter.

Question 5

Are there restrictions on how I can use the boat?

Accepted Answer

The boat is for private leisure cruising only. You may not sublet or lend it to anyone else, take part in regattas, use it commercially, for professional fishing, or as a sailing school.

Question 6

Can I sail at night or in strong winds?

Accepted Answer

You may sail at night only in safe weather conditions and with a watch kept on deck. You should not leave port or anchorage if the wind exceeds force 6 on the Beaufort scale (about 30 knots) or if the harbour authorities have prohibited sailing.

Question 7

Will my sailing experience be checked?

Accepted Answer

We may ask you to demonstrate your competence by handling the boat at sea with us or our representative aboard. If we're not satisfied, we can place a skipper aboard at your cost for as long as we feel is needed for safety.

Question 8

Do I need to send crew details in advance?

Accepted Answer

Yes, please send us the names and addresses of all crew members four weeks before your charter begins.

Question 9

When is the best time to sail in Croatia?

Accepted Answer

May–October, with the most reliable maestral winds and warm seas in June–September; July–August are the hottest and busiest.
