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.

Fuel isn't included — you return the tank full. This boat's ~440 HP engines burn roughly 35.2 L/h while motoring, so a typical week (about 3 h a day, ~21 h) works out to roughly 739 L ≈ €1145 at €1.55/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.

No mandatory national licence, but charter companies require a certified skipper and/or a sailing résumé demonstrating shallow-water and anchoring competence.

Boat Harbour Marina sits within the Abaco Beach Resort, giving you access to 200 slips that can handle vessels up to 200 feet, all spread across 40 beachfront acres in Central Abaco. Read more →
