Marina 1

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: Comprehensive travel insurance required for all party members covering full holiday period and cancellation due to unforeseen circumstances. Insurance for yacht charter cancellation costs recommended.

Fuel isn't included — you return the tank full. This boat's ~54 HP engine burn roughly 4.3 L/h while motoring, so a typical week (about 3 h a day, ~21 h) works out to roughly 90 L ≈ €176 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.

You may be asked to demonstrate your competence to our base manager. If the second skipper isn't formally licensed, they may need to sign a declaration confirming they're competent to help take responsibility for the yacht, otherwise you can hire a skipper or co-skipper for your trip.

We ask for your crew list along with passport and sailing licence copies for the two skippers 60 days before embarkation, so please have these ready in good time.

We ask that you bring the yacht back in the same condition you received it, with the fuel and water tanks topped up. At check-out we go through everything together to confirm all is in order.

We reserve the right to provide an alternative yacht of equivalent quality and capacity should the need arise, so you can still enjoy your holiday.

As is customary on skippered yachts, you're asked to cover the skipper's and co-skipper's expenses, including their meals on board and ashore.

April–October, hot and dry with the strong northerly Meltemi wind peaking in July–August, especially across the Cyclades.
