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: Security Deposit Insurance is mandatory for skippered charters.

Fuel isn't included — you return the tank full. Estimated from engine power: this boat's ~1200 HP engines burn roughly 96 L/h while motoring, so a typical week (about 3 h a day, ~21 h) works out to roughly 2016 L ≈ €3931 at €1.95/L — scale it to your own plans.

Not personally — a skipper is included with this boat and holds the licence. Generally, though: 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.

The price covers use of the vessel with her equipment and charter VAT. Fuel and water consumption, crew (skipper or cook), berthing fees, provisioning, transfers and any extras are paid separately.

We deliver the yacht and dinghy with full fuel tanks and full water tanks, and we ask that you return them full in fuel and water.

Yes, crew such as a skipper or cook can be arranged, but they are not included in the charter price and are charged as an extra.

Your booking is confirmed only once your first payment has cleared in our bank account. The charter goes ahead only if all payments arrive in cleared funds on time.

April–October, hot and dry with the strong northerly Meltemi wind peaking in July–August, especially across the Cyclades.
