Happy Jack

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. For damage it doesn't cover, your liability is usually limited to the security deposit, except where the operator's terms say otherwise. Operator terms: The lessor insures the yacht on behalf of the tenant against theft, hull damage and legal liability for the agreed sailing area, with a EUR 1000 deductible.

Fuel isn't included — you return the tank full. Estimated from engine power: this boat's ~30 HP engine burns roughly 2.4 L/h while motoring, so a typical week (about 3 h a day, ~21 h) works out to roughly 50 L ≈ €98 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.

Pets are only allowed if you tell us when booking and we agree in writing. Smoking is also not permitted inside the cabins.

Yes. Night sailing is not allowed except in an emergency, and towing, racing without notice, commercial passenger transport, subletting and VHF phone calls are not permitted. You also can't modify the yacht or take more people aboard than you declared at booking.

You shouldn't sail in wind force 6 or more or in forecast unfavourable weather. We may ban sailing or direct you to a safe mooring, and in that case no rent refund is due. If a weather-related stop is imposed, follow our instructions to keep the boat safe.

Your charter covers the Greek Ionian Sea and the Gulf of Amvrakis. To go beyond that you need our written agreement first, since damage outside the agreed area is not covered by insurance and you would be fully liable.

Your skipper and co-skipper must be at least 21, hold the right certificates and have enough skill for the area. We may ask for a sailing CV, and if a crew proves incompetent we can place a skipper or instructor aboard at your cost or end the charter without refund.

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