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. For damage it doesn't cover, your liability is usually limited to the security deposit, except where the operator's terms say otherwise. Operator terms: The operator's insurance policy is included in the rental price. It covers damage to the hull and engines, total or partial loss, theft, and third-party liability (bodily injury, material and immaterial damage).

Not personally — this boat requires a skipper, who holds the licence. Generally, though: No formal licence is legally required to skipper a bareboat sailing yacht, though charter companies expect a sailing résumé and usually an ICC or equivalent.

No. The boat is for pleasure boating only, so commercial use, professional fishing, transport and regattas are not allowed. Subletting or lending the boat to someone else is also strictly prohibited.

Only the number of people agreed in advance and authorized for the boat may be on board. Please make sure your group size is confirmed with us before you sail.

This is a bareboat rental, so you are the skipper for the whole trip and we cannot take the helm. If we feel the skipper isn't sufficiently competent, we may refuse to hand over the boat, whatever licences are shown.

Bad weather is not accepted as a reason for returning late, so please plan your last days with a safety margin. Each day of delay is charged at twice the daily rental price.

For ordinary wear and tear, you can arrange a repair or replacement straight away if it costs no more than 10% of the deposit, and keep the invoice to be reimbursed on return. For anything bigger, contact us first. For serious damage such as dismasting, water ingress or fire, notify us urgently and have a damage report drawn up.
