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. You can lower the deposit by adding the operator’s damage waiver. Operator terms: Each yacht has obligatory insurance for all passengers covering fire, marine, collision risks, and third party damage. Personal property of skipper and crew is not insured and separate insurance is recommended.

Fuel isn't included — you return the tank full. This boat's ~18 HP engine burn roughly 1.4 L/h while motoring, so a typical week (about 3 h a day, ~21 h) works out to roughly 29 L ≈ €57 at €1.95/L — scale it to your own plans.

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 price covers the yacht with all its listed equipment plus the home marina fees. Food, harbour costs in other ports and similar expenses are not included.

You should hold an adequate skipper competency certificate in English. If we feel the skills aren't sufficient for the yacht, we may ask you to take a professional skipper for an extra charge before sailing.

The yacht is for your own recreational use only, so no subletting, lending, commercial use, professional fishing or racing. You may only sail at night in safe weather conditions and must stay within Greek waters.

We hand the yacht over clean and in proper condition, and ask you to return it the same way. We refill the fuel with a fuel truck on your return and you can top up the water tanks at our base free of charge.

Yes, please check the engine oil and water every day. Damage caused by running low on oil or water isn't insured and would be charged to you, so daily checks really matter.
