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: Guest is responsible only for damage up to security deposit amount.

Fuel isn't included — you return the tank full. This boat's ~80 HP engines burn roughly 6.4 L/h while motoring, so a typical week (about 3 h a day, ~21 h) works out to roughly 134 L ≈ €261 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.

Greek Port Authorities require at least two people aboard to be qualified to sail at open sea. If only one of you is certified, a second passenger can sign a simple written statement declaring open-sea experience, and no proof is required for that statement.

End cleaning is obligatory and paid in cash when you board. It covers the yacht's cleaning, cooking gas, spare gasoline for the outboard, and bed linen, blankets, pillows, pillow cases and towels (one set per person).

Your fee covers use of the yacht and its full inventory, all taxes and VAT, insurance for the yacht, third-party liability, passengers and sea pollution, and the port fees for your embarkation and disembarkation days.
