Frequently Asked Questions

Is this boat insured, and who pays for damage?

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.

How much will fuel cost?

Fuel isn't included — you return the tank full. This boat's ~130 HP engines burn roughly 10.4 L/h while motoring, so a typical week (about 3 h a day, ~21 h) works out to roughly 218 L ≈ €310 at €1.42/L — scale it to your own plans. Many skippers run one engine on passage to roughly halve fuel use — ask your operator if that’s fine for your boat.

Do I need a sailing licence in British Virgin Islands?

No formal sailing licence is required, but you must submit a sailing résumé proving recent experience on a similar-sized yacht for company approval.

When is the best time to sail in British Virgin Islands?

Year-round, with the prime season December–April bringing steady trade winds; June–November is the Atlantic hurricane season.
