Carpe Diem XI

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 ~280 HP engine burn roughly 22.4 L/h while motoring, so a typical week (about 3 h a day, ~21 h) works out to roughly 470 L ≈ €705 at €1.50/L — scale it to your own plans.

No licence is required by Turkish law, but charter companies require proof of competence such as an ICC or RYA Day Skipper certificate.

Full-board meals and soft drinks are charged at 60 euros per person per day. Other alcoholic drinks and wines are charged per bottle at supermarket price, and you are welcome to bring your own favourite spirits aboard.

A crew gratuity is extra and customarily ranges from 5 to 10 percent of the charter fee, given at your discretion.

The price includes the crew's wages, insurance, Turkish harbour fees, and airport transfers. VAT and your food and drinks are charged separately.

April–October along the Turquoise Coast (Bodrum, Göcek, Fethiye); hot, dry summers with gentle afternoon breezes ideal for cruising.
