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: Each yacht has compulsory insurance for passengers. Damage must be notified to insurer immediately or Charterer is personally responsible.

Fuel isn't included — you return the tank full. This boat's ~60 HP engines burn roughly 4.8 L/h while motoring, so a typical week (about 3 h a day, ~21 h) works out to roughly 101 L ≈ €197 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.

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

Yes, please send us the names and addresses of all crew members four weeks before your charter starts.

We hand over the yacht clean, in working order and with full water and fuel tanks, and we ask that you redelivered it in that same condition at the agreed place and time.

Please check the engine oil level every day during your charter, as keeping it topped up helps protect the engine throughout your trip.

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