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: A separate non-refundable damage deposit covers losses or damage not recoverable under the yacht insurance policy. Amounts by LOA: EUR 200 (up to 41), EUR 250 (up to 45), EUR 300 (over 45).

Fuel isn't included, and on a powerboat it's the biggest variable cost. Estimated from engine power: at a typical planing cruise this boat's 150 HP engine burns roughly 23 L/h — about €43 an hour at €1.87/L. It depends heavily on speed: easing off the throttle cuts it sharply, running flat out raises it. Plan your fuel around the hours and speed you expect to cruise.

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.

No. Night sailing is not allowed, and you must stay out of unsafe weather and sea conditions, with a limit of 6 Beaufort (wind over 26 knots). Please plan your route with that in mind.

You can sail within the territorial waters of Croatia and must avoid areas closed to navigation. If you want to go beyond Croatian waters, you need our special written approval first.

No. Sub-chartering and commercial use are not allowed, and you need our written approval before joining any competitive regatta.

Only the people listed on your crew list. You can't take extra guests aboard beyond those you've declared.

Late returns are charged at double the daily charter fee for each commenced day, with each hour counted as half a day, plus any costs to us. If bad weather delays you, you bear the resulting costs, so we advise returning to base the evening before check-out. Contact the base manager straight away if a delay is unavoidable.

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