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: Owner insures Yacht and equipment against fire, marine, collision risks and third party damage, and any loss or damage exceeding security deposit or damage waiver.

Fuel isn't included — you return the tank full. This boat's ~58 HP engines burn roughly 4.6 L/h while motoring, so a typical week (about 3 h a day, ~21 h) works out to roughly 97 L ≈ €189 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.

Yes. For a bareboat charter we may ask you and your crew to demonstrate safe handling and navigation with our representative aboard. If we're not satisfied, we may place an acceptable skipper on board at your expense for as long as we consider necessary for safety.

Your party at sea should include at least one qualified skipper and one experienced crew member, and never more than the maximum allowed for the yacht. Only people listed on the crew/passenger manifest may be accommodated aboard.

You may sail within Greek seas only. Taking the boat outside that area, or subletting it, requires our written consent.

The boat is for your private pleasure only. Racing and towing other craft (except in an emergency) are not allowed, and no one aboard may break customs, fishing or diving laws or take objects of archaeological value.

Don't leave port or anchorage if wind is or is forecast to be over force 6 on the Beaufort scale, if the authorities prohibit sailing, or if the boat or crew aren't in a safe condition. At night, don't sail without all navigation lights working and a sufficient watch on deck.

The Port of Volos sits right in the heart of Thessaly's capital, putting you steps away from the city's famous tsipouradika — the waterfront tavernas where locals pair tsipouro shots with endless small plates of seafood. Read more →
