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 responsible for security deposit amount for any loss or damage caused.

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.

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.

For bareboat charters, we may ask you to hire a skipper if any doubt about your sailing skills arises during embarkation, and the local port authorities may also request a sailing-experience declaration from the skipper. The skipper fee is agreed in writing beforehand and paid on embarkation.

Absolutely. You can hire a professional skipper for as many days as you like, whether you need one or simply want a more relaxing holiday and the benefit of local knowledge. Please note the skipper needs their own cabin, as they're required to sleep on board for the whole charter.

The deposit covers you per accident. If an incident happens, you'll need to top the deposit back up to the original amount to stay covered against a second one, otherwise the charter agreement may be ended. On skippered charters the deposit is set at half price.

Please let us know straight away when something happens, and put it in writing on disembarkation while the yacht can still be inspected. Complaints raised only after the charter has ended may not be considered.
