King Of Hearts

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. Operator terms: The Owner insures the yacht and equipment against fire, marine and collision risks, third party damage and any loss or damage in excess of 2000 euro.

Fuel isn't included — you return the tank full. Estimated from engine power: this boat's ~75 HP engine burns roughly 6 L/h while motoring, so a typical week (about 3 h a day, ~21 h) works out to roughly 126 L ≈ €246 at €1.95/L — scale it to your own plans.

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

No. Night sailing is not allowed except in an emergency. The boat is for private pleasure only, so racing, regattas, professional crew training and subletting are not permitted. Towing is only allowed in an emergency, and only with our written consent.

You can cruise the Saronic Gulf and the Cyclades. The Ionian Sea is possible only in some cases with our written consent. Sailing to Crete or within the Cretan Sea is not allowed, and you must stay within Greek waters.

You must not leave a port or anchorage if the wind is, or is forecast to be, above Beaufort 6, or if the harbour authorities ban sailing. Weather does not excuse a late return, so late-return charges still apply. We may also set sailing limits or ask you to moor or return to base if conditions require it.

You need at least one qualified skipper and one experienced crew member aboard. We may ask you to demonstrate your competence at sea with one of our representatives on board. If the skipper or crew fall short, we may restrict your sailing area, add a seaman at your expense, or end the charter without a refund.

Contact us straight away. We will provide assistance within 24 hours, unless it is a public holiday and a part must be ordered. Do not arrange repairs without our consent, and report any damage or accident immediately, because unreported damage may not be covered by insurance.

Alimos Marina — also known as Kalamaki — holds the title of largest marina in the Balkans, sitting about 15 km southwest of central Athens and just 8 km from Piraeus. With hundreds of berths and solid facilities, it's a serious base for exploring the Saronic Gulf. Read more →
