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: Client liable for all damages not covered by insurance, including potential business losses

At least one crew member must hold a recognised sailing licence (ICC or national equivalent) plus a VHF/SRC radio operator certificate, both checked on arrival.

Animals may only be brought aboard with our prior consent, so please ask us before booking if you'd like to bring a pet.

Yes. If the base manager determines that you don't have the knowledge or ability to operate the boat safely, they can require a professional skipper for the safety of crew and vessel, which involves an additional charge. By signing the contract you confirm you have the skills and knowledge to manage the boat safely.

You agree not to sail out of Croatian waters; any exception requires a special written permit. You should also sail only in safe weather, and on a sailboat you must not leave a sheltered harbour in wind gusts of 25 knots or more.

You may not rent or lend the boat to others, use it commercially or for professional fishing, or take part in regattas without our explicit consent. Except in emergencies, you also shouldn't use the boat to tow or recover other vessels.

You may carry only the maximum permitted number of people, all listed on the crew list. Any change of crew must be reported to us and to the relevant authorities.

May–October, with the most reliable maestral winds and warm seas in June–September; July–August are the hottest and busiest.
