Balarina

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.

Fuel isn't included — you return the tank full. Estimated from engine power: this boat's ~57 HP engine burns roughly 4.6 L/h while motoring, so a typical week (about 3 h a day, ~21 h) works out to roughly 97 L ≈ €189 at €1.95/L — scale it to your own plans.

Not if you add a skipper — this boat offers one, who 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.

If you decide to end the charter and return the yacht earlier than the date in your agreement, we can't refund any proportional part of the hire money for the unused days. It's worth planning your full itinerary with this in mind.

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