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. Operator terms: Obligatory boat insurance included in price. Comprehensive insurance exceeding deposit value.

Fuel isn't included, and on a powerboat it's the biggest variable cost. At a typical planing cruise this boat's 300 HP engine burn roughly 45 L/h — about €84 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.

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.

Yes. We may ask you or your crew to demonstrate that you can handle and navigate the boat safely with our representative aboard. If we are not satisfied, we can place an experienced seaman on board at your cost for as long as we feel is needed for safety; any time spent on this counts as part of your charter.

You are asked to stay within Croatian territorial waters. If you would like to sail beyond them, please request our written permission before your reservation is confirmed.

You may not offer accommodation to third parties, lend the boat, take part in races, use it commercially or for professional fishing, or sail in unsafe weather.

Yes. Please do not leave a port or anchorage if the wind is, or is forecast to be, over 20 knots, if the authorities have banned sailing, or if any vital part of the boat is damaged. We also ask that you avoid sailing at night and only in areas your charts cover.

Please return the boat to the agreed base port clean and tidy with full fuel tanks, in the same condition you received it. Our representative will check the boat and equipment against the inventory list at handover.

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