Question 1

Is this boat insured, and who pays for damage?

Accepted Answer

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 yachts insured as per Greek Law, covering fire, marine, collision, and third-party damage risks

Question 2

How much will fuel cost?

Accepted Answer

Fuel isn't included — you return the tank full. This boat's ~80 HP engines burn roughly 6.4 L/h while motoring, so a typical week (about 3 h a day, ~21 h) works out to roughly 134 L ≈ €261 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.

Question 3

Do I need a sailing licence in Greece?

Accepted Answer

Two crew with proof of competence are required — a skipper holding an ICC or national equivalent and a co-skipper who signs a declaration of sailing experience.

Question 4

Are there limits on how we use the yacht?

Accepted Answer

The yacht is for your private pleasure only. Racing is not allowed unless agreed in advance with racing insurance paid, and towing another craft (except in emergency) and subletting are not permitted. Your party should include at least one qualified skipper and one experienced crew member.

Question 5

Where are we allowed to sail?

Accepted Answer

You may sail within Greek waters only, unless we give written consent otherwise. Please plan your route to reach the farthest point within the first third of the charter, and be within 40 nautical miles of the return point two days before the end.

Question 6

Are there rules about sailing in bad weather or at night?

Accepted Answer

For safety, please do not leave port if the authorities have banned sailing, if the yacht has unrepaired damage or low fuel, or whenever conditions or the state of the yacht or crew are doubtful. Do not sail at night without all navigation lights working, and only sail areas your charts cover well.

Question 7

What happens if something breaks down during the charter?

Accepted Answer

For any repair that is not normal wear and tear, please get our consent first on the cost and suitability of the work. Keep the receipts for wear-related repairs and we will refund you at the end of the charter. Report any accident or damage to the nearest port authority and to us at the same time.

Question 8

What condition should the yacht be returned in?

Accepted Answer

Please return the yacht with all equipment in the same good condition as at take-over, to the agreed place, date and time. A late return incurs demurrage at the daily charter price plus 50 percent for each day until she is back, and returning her to a different place means covering the cost of bringing her home.

Question 9

When is the best time to sail in Greece?

Accepted Answer

April–October, hot and dry with the strong northerly Meltemi wind peaking in July–August, especially across the Cyclades.
