Fountaine Pajot FP 48

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: Boat insured against all risks with excess covered by deposit. Third party liability covers accidental personal injury and property damage up to EUR 5,000,000.

Not personally — a skipper comes with this boat and holds the licence. Generally, though: A recognised sailing licence is required, with an ICC typically requested for non-Spanish skippers chartering a bareboat.

The price covers use of the yacht and its accessories per the checklist, normal wear and tear, insurance, the dinghy, and the home berth and its associated fees. An outboard is included for catamarans and for sailing yachts of 45 foot and above.

Optional extras you can order include bed linen and towels, an outboard engine for smaller sailing yachts and motorboats, and items such as a Cabrera park permit. These are arranged and paid for separately.

We will provide a yacht of the same or similar type. If only a lower category is available we refund the proportional price difference, or you may choose a full refund of what you have paid for the charter.

We hand the yacht over ready to sail, clean, with full water, fuel and gas tanks and all documents. At takeover you carefully check the condition, technical functions and inventory against a checklist and confirm it with your signature.

April–October across the Balearics and Costa Brava; reliable warm summers, busiest in July–August with the occasional afternoon thermal breeze.
