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 yacht is insured under the terms of the insurer. Kasko deductible franchises are covered up to the deposit amount per the current Price List, including damage from third parties.

Fuel isn't included, and on a powerboat it's the biggest variable cost. Estimated from engine power: at a typical planing cruise this boat's 110 HP engine burns roughly 17 L/h — about €32 an hour at €1.87/L. It depends heavily on speed: easing off the throttle cuts it sharply, running flat out raises it. Plan your fuel around the hours and speed you expect to cruise.

Not if you add a skipper — this boat offers one, who holds the licence. Generally, though: At least one crew member must hold a recognised sailing licence (ICC or national equivalent) plus a VHF/SRC radio operator certificate, both checked on arrival.

Sorry, no. Pets of any kind are not allowed on board.

You can sail within Croatian territorial waters. If you'd like to go beyond them, you need a signed permit and the related documents from us first.

You should only sail in safe conditions, up to force 6 Beaufort and with good visibility. Never leave port if the port authorities have banned departures. The return deadline still applies whatever the weather, so plan some buffer.

Your skipper must have the competence for safe navigation, an open-sea licence and a GMDSS radio licence. We may ask you to show your skills at sea with one of our representatives on board, and that time counts as part of your charter. If we find the experience insufficient, we'll provide a skipper at extra cost.

Tell us immediately, even for ordinary wear and tear. For accidents or damage, record what happened, report it to the nearest Harbour Master's Office and get a verified report. Damage that isn't reported straight away may not be covered by insurance, which would leave you responsible for the full cost.

May–October, with the most reliable maestral winds and warm seas in June–September; July–August are the hottest and busiest.
