Mani

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.

Fuel isn't included — you return the tank full. This boat's ~600 HP engine burn roughly 48 L/h while motoring, so a typical week (about 3 h a day, ~21 h) works out to roughly 1008 L ≈ €2016 at €2.00/L — scale it to your own plans.

Not personally — a skipper comes with this boat and holds the licence. Generally, though: A Klein Vaarbewijs is required for vessels over 15 m or capable of more than 20 km/h; the ICC and equivalents are recognised.

Sitting right on the border of North and South Holland, this marina gives you easy access to the open waters connecting the two provinces — a genuinely rare spot for exploring in multiple directions. Read more →
