Question 1

Is this boat insured, and who pays for damage?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 2

Do I need a sailing licence in France?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 3

What condition should we leave the boat in at the end?

Accepted Answer

Before returning, please empty the boat of all personal items, take out the kitchen and bathroom rubbish, wash and dry the dishes and put them away, and place the bedding in the dedicated laundry bag with sheets and mattress protectors kept separate from towels. You will also need to fill the water tank and empty the black water tank.

Question 4

Can we empty the black water tank in the harbour?

Accepted Answer

No, emptying the black water tank in the harbour is strictly forbidden and can result in a fine. Please use the pump-out service available in some ports instead.

Question 5

What kind of luggage should we bring?

Accepted Answer

Please bring soft bags rather than hard suitcases, which are too bulky to store on board.

Question 6

What happens if there is a technical problem while we are out?

Accepted Answer

Our boats are carefully prepared, but if a technical incident does occur we commit to intervening within a few hours of your call to the base, provided it is during working hours (8am to 5pm local time) and you are close to our coast. If you are further away, we will work out a suitable solution together.

Question 7

What does the consumables package include?

Accepted Answer

It includes items such as two gas bottles, a set of batteries, toilet paper for each toilet, kitchen and bathroom bin liners, dishcloths, a mop, a sponge, washing-up liquid, and baking paper.
