About this boat

Kos puts you among Dodecanese channels where the Meltemi blows without the Cyclades' full force, so short hops between islands stay manageable for a crew that's sailed before. Everyone spreads out across their own cabin, with dinners ashore easy to plan between legs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this boat insured, and who pays for damage?

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.

How much will fuel cost?

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.

Do I need a sailing licence in Greece?

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.

When is the best time to sail in Greece?

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