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. For damage it doesn't cover, your liability is usually limited to the security deposit, except where the operator's terms say otherwise. You can lower the deposit by adding the operator’s damage waiver. Operator terms: All vessels are hull insured and carry policies covering damage to persons and third parties. Insurance does not cover the client's personal property or items brought on board, deliberately caused damage, or damage caused by the client's lack of diligence.

Fuel isn't included — you return the tank full. Estimated from engine power: this boat's ~57 HP engine burns roughly 4.6 L/h while motoring, so a typical week (about 3 h a day, ~21 h) works out to roughly 97 L ≈ €181 at €1.87/L — scale it to your own plans.

Not if you add a skipper — this boat offers one, who holds the licence. Generally, though: 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.

Pets are only allowed with our written consent, so please ask us before you book. Don't bring an animal aboard without that approval.

Night sailing, sailing single-handed and joining regattas or competitions all need our prior consent. The boat can't be used commercially or handed over to anyone else, and fishing or underwater activities need a valid licence.

Please don't leave port if the forecast wind is above 25 knots or the port authorities have banned departures. In gale-force conditions, tell the base manager where you are. Bad weather doesn't excuse a late return, so keep the boat within about 40 NM of the base two days before the end.

The standard area is Croatian territorial waters, as listed in the boat's registration papers. If you want to go further, tell us before booking is confirmed so we can arrange extra insurance and registration at your cost. Repairs outside Croatian waters are your own responsibility.

We may ask you or your skipper to show your navigation skills at check-in, and that time counts as charter time. If we feel more experience is needed, we'll assign a professional skipper at the price-list rate. If you refuse that skipper, you can't sail and the paid amount is kept.
