Sail La Vie

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: Travel insurance recommended covering cancellation due to weather, medical expenses, personal accident, and loss or damage to personal belongings. Solrise Cruises not responsible for weather-related changes or cancellations of onward bookings

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 ≈ €264 at €1.75/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.

Yes. Your charter is fully crewed with a skipper and a chef, and full board is included with three meals a day plus tea, coffee and snacks. We also provide a daily bottle of water for each guest.

We can welcome up to four guests on board.

Children are welcome, but special permission is required for any child under the age of 12, so please let us know in advance.

The captain may adjust the itinerary for weather or safety reasons, and the safety of everyone on board always comes first. We will make every reasonable effort to keep your trip enjoyable.

Smoking is not allowed below deck or in non-smoking areas, and fishing or anything that could harm marine life is not permitted unless the captain authorises it. Everyone joins a safety briefing at the start, and we ask you to follow the crew's instructions.
