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 ~27 HP engine burn roughly 2.2 L/h while motoring, so a typical week (about 3 h a day, ~21 h) works out to roughly 46 L ≈ €90 at €1.95/L — scale it to your own plans.

No licence is legally required to sail at sea, but charter companies expect an RYA Day Skipper certificate or equivalent (and an ICC for inland waterways).

April–October, busiest June–August; cool, changeable Atlantic weather with the Solent and west coast as classic cruising grounds.
