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: Yacht and equipment insured under Greek Legislation against fire, marine, collision risks and third-party liability. Charterer relieved of liability covered by policy unless caused by charterer's act or negligence.
