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. For damage it doesn't cover, your liability is usually limited to the security deposit, except where the operator's terms say otherwise. Operator terms: All vessels have Kasko (hull) cover with a deductible up to the deposit amount in the Price List. The policy includes Compulsory Passenger Insurance and Compulsory Third Party Insurance.

Fuel isn't included — you return the tank full. Estimated from engine power: 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.

Not if you add a skipper — this boat offers one, who holds the licence. Generally, though: The skipper needs a valid sailing licence and VHF certificate, ideally issued by their country of residence (an ICC is widely accepted).

Pets are only allowed with our prior written consent, so please ask before you book. Don't bring an animal on board without that approval.

Night sailing and racing regattas are both off-limits unless we've agreed in writing beforehand. Commercial use, such as carrying paying passengers or goods, is also not permitted.

For safety you shouldn't leave port if winds above 25 knots are forecast or the port authorities have banned departures. In gale-force conditions, tell us your exact location so we can help. Weather is not accepted as a reason for returning late.

Your charter stays within Italian territorial waters. If you'd like to go beyond them, tell us in writing at least 45 days before your start date so we can arrange an additional vessel at your cost.

We may ask you to show your sailing competence by taking the yacht out with our representative, and the test time counts as charter time. If we feel you aren't ready, we'll assign a skipper at the Price List rate. If you refuse the skipper you can't leave port and the paid charter rate is kept.

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