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: Guest responsible for damages not covered by deposit, including deliberate acts or gross negligence

Fuel isn't included, and on a powerboat it's the biggest variable cost. At a typical planing cruise this boat's 150 HP engine burn roughly 23 L/h — about €43 an hour at €1.87/L. It depends heavily on speed: easing off the throttle cuts it sharply, running flat out raises it. Plan your fuel around the hours and speed you expect to cruise.

At least one crew member must hold a recognised sailing licence (ICC or national equivalent) plus a VHF/SRC radio operator certificate, both checked on arrival.

Pets are not allowed on the craft.

Smoking below deck is forbidden. Please keep any smoking to the open deck areas.

You may not use the craft to carry passengers commercially, for commercial fishing, for racing without our agreement, or to tow other vessels except in an emergency. Rechartering the boat is not permitted.

Yes. We may decline to hand over the craft if, during check-in or a trial run, it becomes clear the skipper does not have the qualifications to operate the vessel safely.

Contact us at once. For minor wear-and-tear faults you may arrange a repair yourself up to 100 euros and be reimbursed against the bill; for any serious damage or accident you must inform us immediately and follow our instructions.
