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: Yacht covered by standard marine policy with 6,000,000 euro third party cover for skipper and crew. Charterer subject to specified deductibles.

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 ≈ €44 at €1.50/L — scale it to your own plans.

No licence is required by Turkish law, but charter companies require proof of competence such as an ICC or RYA Day Skipper certificate.

Unfortunately no. Dogs and other animals are not allowed on any of our yachts.

No, night sailing is not permitted, defined as the period from 30 minutes before sunset to 30 minutes after sunrise. Please plan your passages to be safely moored or anchored overnight.

Your cruising area is within Turkish territorial waters. Sailing outside these waters requires our written permission beforehand.

We rely on the sailing certificate or experience you provide, but if our team judges that you cannot safely handle the yacht we may either end the charter or, if available, place a skipper on board at your expense. You also agree not to sail single-handed and to always have a competent skipper and lead crew member aboard.

The yacht is for pleasure use only. Racing is not allowed except for pre-booked events under specific conditions, and rafting to another vessel at anchor is strictly prohibited.

April–October along the Turquoise Coast (Bodrum, Göcek, Fethiye); hot, dry summers with gentle afternoon breezes ideal for cruising.
