Dalia

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: Yacht covered with all-risk insurance against third party damages and Force Majeure damages. Sails not covered by insurance.

Not personally — a skipper comes with this boat and holds the licence. Generally, though: 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.

Yes, at takeover you'll take a short test drive with our representative on board. If we consider you not yet ready to handle the yacht, regardless of any licences you hold, we may hire a professional skipper at your cost.

Animals and diving equipment are not allowed on board unless you've arranged it with us in advance, so please ask before you travel if you'd like to bring either.

You're asked to sail within Croatian territorial waters and not to sail at night in unsafe conditions. Sub-chartering the yacht to anyone else is also not permitted.

There's a daily limit of three hours of navigation and the weekly total must not exceed 25 hours. If you'd like to sail more on a given day, please contact us in advance for approval.

If any damage or breakdown occurs, contact us or the base manager right away using the numbers in the yacht documents on board, and we'll arrange the repair. Please check the engine oil daily.
