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: Client assumes all responsibility for damage to persons, things, or the vessel.

Fuel isn't included, and on a powerboat it's the biggest variable cost. At a typical planing cruise this boat's 600 HP engine burn roughly 90 L/h — about €176 an hour at €1.95/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.

The skipper needs a valid sailing licence and VHF certificate, ideally issued by their country of residence (an ICC is widely accepted).
