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: All vessels covered with Kasko deductible franchises up to deposit amount. Insurance includes Compulsory Passenger Insurance and Compulsory Third Party 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.

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

Yes, we may ask you to demonstrate your competence by sailing the yacht with our representative on board. If we feel you're not ready to be in charge, an official skipper will be engaged at your cost, and the brief test time counts as part of your charter.

Pets such as dogs, cats or birds are only allowed with our prior written consent, so please ask us before you travel if you'd like to bring an animal.

You're asked not to race or take part in regattas without our written consent, not to sail at night without our written consent, and not to operate the vessel under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Fishing or diving requires the appropriate valid licences.

Please don't leave port if the expected wind is stronger than 25 knots or if the port authorities have prohibited departure. In gale-force conditions, let us know your exact location so we can assist you and avoid unnecessary search operations.

If you'd like to sail beyond the territorial waters of Italy, please tell us as early as possible and confirm in writing no later than 45 days before your charter starts, as additional arrangements and costs apply.

May–October, warm and settled in summer; July–August are hottest and busiest, with afternoon thermal breezes common.
