Little Dream

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: Charterer is liable up to the amount of the security deposit for damage unless caused by willful conduct or gross negligence (in which case insurance does not cover).

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 ≈ €287 at €1.50/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.

No licence is required by Turkish law, but charter companies require proof of competence such as an ICC or RYA Day Skipper certificate.

You may sail the Turkish coast between Kusadasi and Antalya and the Greek Dodecanese islands. These are the outer limits and must not be exceeded without our consent.

Night cruises are allowed only with great care, so please plan your passages so that you can navigate safely after dark and reach a secure berth or anchorage.

Yes. If at handover we doubt that you or your captain can safely operate the yacht, we may run a supervised trial trip of a few hours at your expense, ask you to change captain, or refuse departure. We can also refuse handover to anyone under the influence of alcohol.

You may not take part in races or regattas, tow other vessels except in genuine distress, carry more people than permitted, or let third parties use the yacht. Please also note that embarking or disembarking people in Greece is not allowed.

You may arrange immediate, proper repairs up to 200 euros and keep any replaced parts. For larger damage, breakdowns or loss of manoeuvrability, please notify us at once and follow our instructions, documenting the event. We reimburse approved repair costs and lost days not caused by you.
