Maya Bay 3

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 boat is insured against all maritime risks, including third-party liability. Major damage or accidents must be reported within 12 hours to the maritime officials (Harbor Captain or Police) and to the charter base, otherwise the insurer will not accept the case and the client…

Fuel isn't included, and on a powerboat it's the biggest variable cost. Estimated from engine power: at a typical planing cruise this boat's 110 HP engine burns roughly 17 L/h — about €32 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.

Not if you add a skipper — this boat offers one, who 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.

Animals are only allowed aboard with our prior consent, so please ask us before you book.

Yes. The boat can't be sublet, lent out, used commercially or for professional fishing, or entered in regattas, and it can't be used to tow other vessels except in an emergency. Leaving Croatian waters needs a special written permit from us.

Night sailing is only allowed in safe weather conditions. A sailboat must not leave a sheltered harbour in gusts of 25 knots or more, and a motor yacht should only leave when the forecast and sea conditions allow.

If our base manager decides the skipper lacks the knowledge or ability to handle the boat, we can require a professional skipper for safety, at an extra cost. We may also require one if the licence is missing or not valid.

Report it to us immediately. If a technical problem stops you from sailing safely, we'll solve it within 24 hours, including help at sea if needed, or try to offer a replacement boat. Please also check the engine oil and water every day, because damage from low oil or water isn't insured.

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