Lagoon 42

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: Security Deposit Insurance is mandatory for skippered charters. All boats are insured against risks arising from liability to third parties, damage to hull/machinery/equipment, third party liability, and sea pollution liability.

Fuel isn't included — you return the tank full. This boat's ~114 HP engines burn roughly 9.1 L/h while motoring, so a typical week (about 3 h a day, ~21 h) works out to roughly 191 L ≈ €372 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.

One crew member must present an appropriate sailing certificate to the Port Authority as skipper, and one experienced crew member must be declared co-skipper. We recommend an International Certificate of Competence, as Day Skipper certificates can be rejected by the Port Authority.

Qualifications are approved by the local Port Authority on the day of departure. If your sailing skills or certification are deemed insufficient, we reserve the right to require that you hire a professional skipper.

Yes. A professional skipper or a hostess/cook can be arranged as an optional crew service, each charged per day plus their provisioning.

You must return to the re-delivery base the evening before disembarkation, by 18:00 at the latest. Check-in and check-out procedures are part of the charter period.

Optional extras are provided by independent providers and are payable in cash directly at the base before embarkation.

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