Filippos I

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: Charterer liable for damages caused by themselves or crew, up to deposit amount

Fuel isn't included — you return the tank full. This boat's ~57 HP engine burn roughly 4.6 L/h while motoring, so a typical week (about 3 h a day, ~21 h) works out to roughly 97 L ≈ €189 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.

Yes. We're entitled to check the skipper's ability to navigate before handing over the boat, and may ask for proof of previous experience. If the skipper is clearly not able to safely manage the boat and crew, we can arrange a hired skipper at your cost, and may refuse handover if that's not possible.

Yes. The boat must stay within the contractually agreed sea area, which may only be left with our express consent. We can also further limit the area in space or time when navigation conditions are uncertain, for example by imposing a night-sailing ban.

Yes. You shouldn't leave a safe, sheltered port or berth if the forecast indicates wind of 7 Beaufort or more for your planned leg. Please take special care navigating at night, and bad weather does not excuse a late return unless it's genuine force majeure.

You may not take part in regattas, carry undeclared dutiable or dangerous goods, or use the boat commercially (for example for training or transporting goods or passengers) without our prior written consent. The boat also can't be passed on or re-leased to third parties.

You may not take more people aboard than permitted or agreed, and everyone must be named on the crew list you provide before the charter starts.

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