Black Pearl

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: Clients are advised to secure insurance coverage for their trip.

Not if you add a skipper — this boat offers one, who holds the licence. Generally, though: 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.

The rate does not cover water, provisioning, extra linen, running expenses, or mooring fees. If you'd like, we can arrange provisioning and airport-to-base transfers on request.

Yes, a compulsory end cleaning fee covers cleaning, cooking gas, water, and linen such as sheets, pillowcases, and bath towels. You pay it in cash at the base, and the amount depends on the yacht's cabin setup and type.

Your charter price includes VAT at a discounted 12% instead of the usual 24%. To qualify, the skipper must return a stamped declaration confirming an arrival at a port at least 6 nautical miles from where you first embarked.

Yes, we offer discounts for internet bookings, multiple-week charters, and returning clients.

We may reassign your booking to another yacht before your charter starts.
