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: After take-over, charterer responsible for repair of any damage or failure not resulting from normal wear at charterer's expense with owner's prior consent.

Fuel isn't included — you return the tank full. This boat's ~76 HP engine 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.

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.

This agreement relies on the sailing, seamanship and navigation experience you state in writing. We may ask you and your crew to demonstrate it by taking the yacht out at sea with our representative aboard before you sail freely.

You may sail within the Greek seas only. Taking the yacht outside this area, or subletting it, requires our written consent.

The yacht is for your private pleasure only. It may not be used for towing other craft (except in an emergency), for any commercial purpose, or for activities against customs or fishing laws, including taking objects of archaeological value.

Don't leave port or anchorage if winds are at or forecast above force 6 Beaufort, if the authorities have banned sailing, or if any vital part such as the engine, sails, rig, bilge pump or navigation lights isn't working. Avoid sailing at night without all navigation lights and a proper watch.

Plan so you reach your farthest port within the first third of the charter, and two days before the end the yacht should be no more than 40 nautical miles from the return point.

April–October, hot and dry with the strong northerly Meltemi wind peaking in July–August, especially across the Cyclades.
