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: Guest liable for all losses or damage to ship or equipment except normal wear and tear.

Fuel isn't included, and on a powerboat it's the biggest variable cost. At a typical planing cruise this boat's 500 HP engine burn roughly 75 L/h — about €140 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.

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.

Please stay within Croatian territorial waters for the duration of your charter, and handle the boat carefully according to good seamanship.

You can't hand the boat over to third parties, carry people or goods for payment, or take part in races or regattas. If you ever need a tow, please agree the salvage fee before accepting the help.

The boat can't carry more people than are listed on the crew list or stated in the offer.

For minor wear-and-tear repairs you can arrange the fix yourself up to 180 euro and we'll reimburse you against receipts, keeping any replaced parts. For larger damage or breakdowns, notify us immediately and take all reasonable steps to limit the damage.

If a repair isn't possible underway and it's reasonable given the circumstances, we may ask you to return early, in coordination with us, so the boat can be fixed at base. Where the fault is our responsibility, the charter fee for the lost time is refunded.

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