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: Damage Waiver is a mandatory, non-refundable fee that helps mitigate financial liability in case of yacht damage

Fuel isn't included — you return the tank full. This boat's ~76 HP engines burn roughly 6.1 L/h while motoring, so a typical week (about 3 h a day, ~21 h) works out to roughly 128 L ≈ €250 at €1.95/L — scale it to your own plans. Many skippers run one engine on passage to roughly halve fuel use — ask your operator if that’s fine for your boat.

Two crew with proof of competence are required — a skipper holding an ICC or national equivalent and a co-skipper who signs a declaration of sailing experience.

The end cleaning fee, payable in cash at the base, covers final cleaning, cooking gas, water, and linen including sheets, pillowcases and bath towels. The exact amount depends on your yacht's cabin configuration and type.

To benefit from the reduced 12% VAT rate, your skipper needs to return a stamped declaration confirming you arrived at a port at least 6 nautical miles from where you embarked, so please keep this in mind when planning your route.

No licence is required for our skippered or crewed charters. Bareboat charters do require the appropriate certification and yacht-handling skills.
