ISMA

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: Recommended for sailing trip

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.

We reserve the right to require that you hire a professional skipper if your sailing skills are judged insufficient. One crew member must be able to demonstrate their competence as skipper, and the local Port Authority approves qualifications on the day of departure.

A Day Skipper certificate may be rejected by the Greek Port Authority, so we strongly advise you to obtain an International Certificate of Competence (ICC) before your trip. Holders of a Day Skipper certificate can usually get an ICC from their issuing association with a simple application.

Sami Port sits on the east coast of Kefalonia and serves as the island's second busiest ferry hub, so you'll find a lively, working harbor with real energy rather than a sleepy anchorage. Read more →
