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: Vessel covered by third-party liability insurance (compulsory) and comprehensive (Casco) insurance up to registered value. Casco covers damage exceeding deposit amount except intentional damage or gross negligence.

Fuel isn't included, and on a powerboat it's the biggest variable cost. At a typical planing cruise this boat's 270 HP engine burn roughly 41 L/h — about €77 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.

You must sail within Croatian territorial waters. Leaving them is only possible with our prior written consent.

You may not use the boat commercially, for professional fishing, as a sailing school, for towing, or to take part in regattas or races without our prior consent. Please don't sublet or lend the boat, and never carry more people than it's registered for.

Sail only in safe weather and good visibility, and never at night. Don't leave port if the authorities have banned sailing, if fuel is low, or if a part vital to safe sailing is out of order.

Pets such as dogs, cats and birds are only allowed with our prior permission, and an extra cleaning fee applies per the current price list.

Please check the engine oil level every day. Damage caused by running the engine with too little oil isn't covered and would be your responsibility.

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