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. For damage it doesn't cover, your liability is usually limited to the security deposit.

Fuel isn't included — you return the tank full. Estimated from engine power: this boat's ~220 HP engines burn roughly 17.6 L/h while motoring, so a typical week (about 3 h a day, ~21 h) works out to roughly 370 L ≈ €722 at €1.95/L — scale it to your own plans.

Not personally — a skipper is included with this boat and holds the licence. Generally, though: The skipper needs a valid sailing licence and VHF certificate, ideally issued by their country of residence (an ICC is widely accepted).
