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 ~80 HP engines burn roughly 6.4 L/h while motoring, so a typical week (about 3 h a day, ~21 h) works out to roughly 134 L ≈ €261 at €1.95/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.

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.

On a fully crewed yacht the charter fee covers the crews wages, their food, cleaning materials and basic consumable stores, so the crew look after running the boat and keeping it clean. End cleaning is not charged on fully crewed yachts.

Yes, you can hire a skipper or a cook as an optional extra. Please note that the skipper or cook will need their own cabin on board, and provisioning for them is added on top.
