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: Vessel covered by insurance policy against damages caused by charterer with deductible at charterer's cost. Third party incidents covered under same conditions.

Fuel isn't included — you return the tank full. This boat's ~90 HP engines burn roughly 7.2 L/h while motoring, so a typical week (about 3 h a day, ~21 h) works out to roughly 151 L ≈ €255 at €1.69/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.

A recognised sailing licence such as an ICC or IYT qualification is required, together with an adequate sailing résumé.

Your cruising area is limited to the Inner Islands of the Seychelles. Taking the yacht beyond this area requires our written consent, and sailing without it leaves you liable for any financial and legal consequences.

Night navigation is not allowed on our yachts, so please plan your passages to be safely at anchor or in port before dark.

The yacht is for recreational cruising only. Please don't use her for business, commercial fishing, or chartering and sub-letting to others. Working in the Seychelles without a valid permit is illegal, and you'd be solely responsible for any such activity.

For minor issues from normal wear and tear you may carry out repairs under 100 Euros yourself; keep the receipts and damaged parts and we'll reimburse you. For anything larger, check with us first.

In the event of a sailing incident like dismasting, grounding, water ingress, fire or collision, please obtain a report from a relevant professional and send a copy to us and to the authorities as soon as possible.

Year-round; the calmer northwest-monsoon season runs October–April and the breezier southeast trades April–October.
