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.

Fuel isn't included — you return the tank full. This boat's ~90 HP engines burn roughly 7.2 L/h while motoring, so a typical week (about 3 h a day, ~21 h) works out to roughly 151 L ≈ €294 at €1.95/L — scale it to your own plans. Many skippers run one engine on passage to roughly halve fuel use — ask your operator if that’s fine for your boat.

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

No. Our boats don't hold a permit for the Cinque Terre, as we don't take part in the Cinque Terre access scheme, so that area is off-limits during your charter.

Please request extras when you book if you can, and at the latest 15 days before embarkation. We can't guarantee extras requested after that point.

May–October, warm and settled in summer; July–August are hottest and busiest, with afternoon thermal breezes common.
