Apeiron Blue

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: Insurance of the vessel and crew is included in the charter fee.

Itineraries are suggestions only and depend on weather, sea conditions and the captain's approval. The captain will make every reasonable effort to keep the planned embarkation and disembarkation ports, but if weather gets in the way, the owner, broker and operator can't be held liable for the changes.

You can propose your ideal route, but the captain gives final approval at the time of the charter. This keeps your trip safe and suited to the conditions on the day.

The APA is an advance payment, typically 20% to 40% of the charter fee depending on the yacht. It covers the running costs of your cruise such as supplies, port and mooring fees, communications, crew gratuities and extras.

The fee covers the yacht with its equipment, cleaning and basic consumables, laundry of ship's linen, and the crew's wages, uniform and food, plus insurance of the vessel and crew.

VAT is charged on top of the charter fee and depends on where you charter. It is 5.2% to 13% in Greece depending on the yacht category, 13% in Croatia, 22% in Italy, 20% in France and 14% in the Red Sea. If the rate changes before your charter starts, you pay or are credited the difference.
