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 liable for all damages.

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.

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

No, animals are not allowed on board at any time.

The boat is for pleasure use only. You may not carry cargo or paying passengers, take part in regattas or nautical events, or tow another vessel except in a genuine emergency.

You must follow Port Authority instructions and avoid sailing in seas above force six or whenever weather bulletins warn of dangerous conditions. Please plan your itinerary so you can return safely, bringing your return forward if bad weather is forecast.

Yes, the charts we provide cover a recommended sailing area suited to the boat and the coastline. If you plan to sail beyond it, you must equip yourself with the appropriate detailed charts for that area.

Yes. We may ask to see the skipper's sea licence, and if it is missing or we judge the skipper's experience insufficient for the boat and the safety of those on board, we can decline to hand over the boat unless a suitable skipper is found.

Cagliari's marina puts you right at the edge of La Marina, the city's historic waterfront quarter, where Sardinian seafood restaurants and centuries-old architecture are basically steps from the dock. Read more →
