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: Client is responsible for any damage, consumption, penalties, lost profits, or breakdown to the rental boat and auxiliary elements (including dinghy and outboard motor) without limitation to deposit amount, even after rental period ends.

Fuel isn't included — you return the tank full. This boat's ~160 HP engines burn roughly 12.8 L/h while motoring, so a typical week (about 3 h a day, ~21 h) works out to roughly 269 L ≈ €460 at €1.71/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 is required, with an ICC typically requested for non-Spanish skippers chartering a bareboat.

We may ask your designated skipper to show their competence at check-in. If we feel the necessary experience is not there, we can assign a professional skipper for your safety, at your cost.

You are free to cruise within Spanish jurisdictional waters, staying inside the navigation area listed on the boat’s certificate. We also ask that you never leave the boat anchored or moored in open, unprotected bays with no one aboard, as that is not covered by insurance.

No, the boat is for private leisure cruising only. Taking part in regattas or any sporting competition is not allowed because the insurance does not cover it, and the boat may not be used commercially or sublet.

Please let us know right away about any incident, accident, or breakdown. If the outboard engine fails, we will come and assist you technically around the island of Ibiza.

Please take care with the heads and do not flush toilet paper, wipes, cotton, or hygiene products, and leave the grey-water tank valves as you found them, since blockages cause real disruption and a repair charge.

Club Náutico Ibiza sits right on Talamanca Beach, one of the calmer, more local-feeling bays on the island — a nice contrast to the chaos of Ibiza Town just minutes away. Read more →
