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. You can lower the deposit by adding the operator’s damage waiver. Operator terms: Charterers are advised to obtain cover of Travel Insurance and Skipper's Liability Insurance that cover all aspects of the trip. Yacht Charter does not include Charterer's/Skipper's Liability Insurance, Cancellation, or Curtailment Insurance.

Fuel isn't included — you return the tank full. This boat's ~114 HP engines burn roughly 9.1 L/h while motoring, so a typical week (about 3 h a day, ~21 h) works out to roughly 191 L ≈ €372 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.

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.

The weekly rate includes final cleaning, bed sheets and towels (one set per person), the first fill for the outboard engine, a spare bottle of gas, the first and last night at the marina, and use of the yacht with its equipment such as VHF, GPS, autopilot, dinghy, warm water, sprayhood and bimini.

Pets up to 4 kg are allowed on board for twice the cost of the charter pack. Please let us know in advance so we can arrange it.

You can add a skipper, hostess or cook. The hostess prepares breakfast and one meal a day, while the cook prepares breakfast and two meals a day. Crew services end on Friday at 6 p.m. when the boat returns to home port, and a tip of at least 10 percent of the charter fee is customary.

Yes, food and drinks can be arranged in advance through our e-provisioning service, with supplies delivered to the yacht after check-in is complete. Airport welcome and transfers can also be arranged on request.

Optional extras include a stand-up paddleboard, a safety net, extra bed linen and towels, beach towels, and a Wi-Fi router for internet on board (subject to mobile coverage). These are arranged on request and subject to availability.
