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 boat has a comprehensive insurance policy with a deductible; the policy is kept on board. Loss of profit is not covered.

Fuel isn't included — you return the tank full. Estimated from engine power: 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 ≈ €327 at €1.71/L — scale it to your own plans.

Not if you add a skipper — this boat offers one, who holds the licence. Generally, though: A recognised sailing licence is required, with an ICC typically requested for non-Spanish skippers chartering a bareboat.

Only the people named on your passenger list can be aboard, and the group can never exceed the boat's maximum capacity. You are responsible for everyone on your list.

The boat is for recreational charter only. Commercial operations, subletting, commercial fishing, sports competitions and carrying goods or passengers not on your list are not allowed. Transporting weapons, animals, drugs or dangerous substances is also prohibited.

Tell us about the problem before arranging any repair, because we need to authorize it. Breakdowns from natural wear are fixed at our cost, and if you lose rental days we refund them pro rata (excluding extras). Damage from misuse is paid from your deposit.

Please return it in the same working order, with the same equipment and inventory as when you took it. We do a joint inventory check at handover. Anything missing or damaged that insurance does not cover is charged to you.

The skipper you name is in command at all times and cannot hand that responsibility to another crew member. If you prefer, you can hire one of our skippers instead.
