Castor

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.

Fuel isn't included — you return the tank full. This boat's ~42 HP engines burn roughly 3.4 L/h while motoring, so a typical week (about 3 h a day, ~21 h) works out to roughly 71 L ≈ €121 at €1.71/L — scale it to your own plans. Many skippers run one engine on passage to roughly halve fuel use — ask your operator if that’s fine for your boat.

A recognised sailing licence is required, with an ICC typically requested for non-Spanish skippers chartering a bareboat.

April–October across the Balearics and Costa Brava; reliable warm summers, busiest in July–August with the occasional afternoon thermal breeze.
