Bahia Gloria

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, except where the operator's terms say otherwise. Operator terms: The yacht is covered by liability and hull insurance, and the insurance conditions form part of the GTC. The deductible per claim equals the security deposit and is borne by the charterer.

Fuel isn't included — you return the tank full. Estimated from engine power: this boat's ~715 HP engine burns roughly 57.2 L/h while motoring, so a typical week (about 3 h a day, ~21 h) works out to roughly 1201 L ≈ €2246 at €1.87/L — scale it to your own plans.

Not personally — a skipper is included with this boat and holds the licence. Generally, though: 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 only allowed with our prior written consent, so please ask us before you book and get the okay in writing.

The yacht is for recreational use only, so no commercial trips or paid passengers, and no subletting. You need our written consent to enter regattas or leave the agreed sailing area, and night sailing needs our express permission.

In strong winds (from force 6 Beaufort) you must head for a sheltered harbor. In your last 24 hours, stay close enough to the return port to arrive on time even in bad weather, as weather alone doesn't excuse a late return.

Tell us immediately and follow our instructions, as we're reachable by phone or radio during office hours. Report any grounding or collision, and if you need a tow, use the yacht's own line and don't agree to any towing or salvage costs.

Bring it back swept-clean with a full fuel tank, and have it ready 1-2 hours before the agreed time. We carry out the final cleaning and record any damage in a return protocol.

May–October, with the most reliable maestral winds and warm seas in June–September; July–August are the hottest and busiest.
