Freedom

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: All yachts fully insured against damage to hull, gear, equipment and third party liability. Insurance does not cover personal belongings or injuries.

Fuel isn't included — you return the tank full. This boat's ~28 HP engine burn roughly 2.2 L/h while motoring, so a typical week (about 3 h a day, ~21 h) works out to roughly 46 L ≈ €90 at €1.95/L — scale it to your own plans.

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.

For a bareboat charter at least two crew members must hold a sailing certificate, or sufficient experience that we assess from a sailing-experience resume we'll ask you to complete. For a skippered or crewed charter, only your love of the sea is required.

Yes. If we're not satisfied with your crew's competence in sailing, seamanship and navigation, we may place a skipper aboard at your expense for as long as we consider necessary for safety.

The boat is for your private pleasure only. You may not race it, tow other craft (except in an emergency), take it outside Greek waters, or sublet it, without our written consent.

The number of people aboard at sea must not exceed the maximum the boat is registered for, and everyone aboard must be on the crew list.

Plan your itinerary so you reach the farthest port within the first third of the charter, and so that two days before the end you're within about 40 nautical miles of the return port.
