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: All boats insured against: risks from liability to third parties, damage to hull/machinery/equipment, third party liability, sea pollution liability. Deductible provision applied depending on yacht value

Fuel isn't included, and on a powerboat it's the biggest variable cost. At a typical planing cruise this boat's 435 HP engine burn roughly 65 L/h — about €127 an hour at €1.95/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.

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.

Your rate includes a welcome kit, final cleaning, bed sheets and towels (one set per person), the first fill for the outboard, a spare gas bottle, the first and last night at the marina, and use of the yacht's equipment such as VHF, GPS, autopilot, dinghy, warm water, bimini and blankets.

Fuel and water consumption, crew, berthing fees, provisioning, transfers and your personal extras are not included. We are happy to arrange provisioning and transfers for you on request.
