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. For damage it doesn't cover, your liability is usually limited to the security deposit, except where the operator's terms say otherwise. Operator terms: The rental price includes third-party liability (RC) and hull/machinery insurance, and a copy of the policies is given at delivery. The Tenant must not do anything that invalidates the cover.

Fuel isn't included — you return the tank full. Estimated from engine power: 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.

Not personally — this boat requires a skipper, who holds the licence. Generally, though: The skipper needs a valid sailing licence and VHF certificate, ideally issued by their country of residence (an ICC is widely accepted).

Possibly. Small animals, up to 2, may come aboard with our prior authorization, provided they are properly identified and vaccinated. Please ask us before you book.

The boat may only be used in the waters of the Adriatic Sea. You also need to respect any local navigation limits, bans and notices to mariners.

The boat is for recreational use only. Paid passenger or goods transport, professional fishing, commercial activity, races and events, subletting and towing other boats (except in an absolute emergency) are not allowed.

Tell us immediately so we can agree a suitable postponement of the return. The contract is then extended until the boat is actually returned. You should only sail in conditions that are completely safe for you and your crew.

Notify us straight away (and the authorities if needed), and keep the boat and everyone aboard safe. Report any accident within 24 hours at most. Please don't carry out repairs yourself without our written authorization, unless they are essential to reach the nearest port safely.

Tucked into the Gargano National Park on Puglia's rugged northern coast, Marina di Rodi Garganico offers over 300 berths with reliable shelter in any weather — a rare find along this stretch of the Adriatic. Read more →
