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 damage not covered by insurance policy.

Fuel isn't included — you return the tank full. This boat's ~92 HP engines burn roughly 7.4 L/h while motoring, so a typical week (about 3 h a day, ~21 h) works out to roughly 155 L ≈ €302 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.

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.

Your party must include at least one qualified skipper and one experienced crew member, and no more than ten people aboard at sea. Everyone must appear on the crew and passenger manifest.

Yes. We may ask you and your crew to demonstrate that you can handle and navigate the yacht safely by taking her out at sea with our representative aboard. If we are not satisfied, we can place a seaman on board at your cost for as long as we judge necessary; this time forms part of your charter.

You are asked to stay within the Hellenic seas unless we give written consent otherwise. The yacht may not be used for racing, sub-let, or used to tow other craft except in an emergency.

Please do not leave a port or anchorage if the wind is, or is forecast to be, over Beaufort force 6, if the authorities have banned sailing, or if any vital part of the yacht is not in good working order. We also ask you not to sail at night without a sufficient watch on deck.

Yes. Please plan your itinerary so you reach the farthest point from base within the first third of the charter, and in the final two days keep the yacht within 60 nautical miles of the return point.
