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 ~1183 HP engines burn roughly 94.6 L/h while motoring, so a typical week (about 3 h a day, ~21 h) works out to roughly 1987 L ≈ €3875 at €1.95/L — scale it to your own plans.
