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: Insurance contract provided to skippers. Vessels equipped with connected device for geolocation and monitoring.

No, animals are not permitted on board any of our boats.

Yes. You confirm that you and your crew are fit to sail, and we may assess your skills in real conditions or ask for evidence of your competence. If we clearly find you are not fit to navigate, we may cancel the outing.

Only boats listed in the racing or racing-cruising categories may be used for regattas, and you must tell us in advance. Cover applies only to regattas of no more than 120 nautical miles sailed per day, and the sails are not insured during racing.

You may bring a crew under your responsibility, up to the maximum number of passengers set by the boat's manufacturer and provided the boat is suitably equipped.

Please return the boat in the same clean and working condition you received it. We may charge an exceptional cleaning fee if it comes back abnormally dirty, for example with rubbish on board, unwashed dishes, or an unemptied fridge.
