In A Silent Way

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 must possess adequate health insurance valid in European Union for self and crew.

The skipper needs a valid sailing licence and VHF certificate, ideally issued by their country of residence (an ICC is widely accepted).

The recommended cruising area covers Sicily and the southern Tyrrhenian Sea. If you'd like to sail beyond it, you'll need to obtain the detailed nautical charts for those waters yourself.

The boat is for the use of you and your listed crew only. Carrying cargo or paying passengers, any commercial activity, taking part in regattas, and towing or being towed (except in genuine emergency) are not allowed.

We're sorry, but no animals may be kept on board.

Please respect any port authority orders and do not sail in seas above force six, or whenever the forecast warns of dangerous conditions. Plan your itinerary so you can return on time, coming back early if rough weather is expected.

Contact us immediately and don't carry out any repairs without our authorisation. You may continue sailing only if it won't worsen the damage or endanger anyone, and repair or assistance requests are handled between 08:00 and 20:00.
