Overview

Before you send an enquiry

Most questions come down to three things: whether you need a licence, what the price actually covers, and how far in advance to book. The answers below cover all three.

If something is not here, send us the question directly. We answer with the specifics of your dates and the yacht rather than a general rule.

Frequently asked questions

Tap a question to open the answer.

Do I need a boating licence to charter a yacht in Greece?
For bareboat charters a valid boating licence is required. If you do not have one, you can choose a skippered yacht, where a professional skipper handles the navigation.
Can I hire a skipper?
Yes. We offer professional skippers for guests who prefer to relax and enjoy the experience without navigating the yacht themselves.
What is included in the charter price?
The charter price usually includes the yacht rental, standard equipment, safety gear and insurance. Fuel, marina fees, provisioning, skipper, hostess and optional extras may be charged separately depending on the booking.
What extras can I add to my booking?
You can request optional extras such as:
  • Professional skipper
  • Hostess or chef
  • Airport transfers
  • Paddleboards (SUP)
  • Snorkelling equipment
  • Wi-Fi
  • Seabobs or water toys, subject to availability

What is your cancellation policy?
Cancellation terms depend on the booking agreement. Please refer to our booking terms or contact us for details on cancellations and refunds.

Which destinations do you cover?

Is fuel included?
Fuel is generally not included in the charter price and is charged according to actual consumption unless otherwise stated.
What happens if the weather is bad?
Your safety comes first. If conditions make sailing unsafe we discuss the available alternatives based on the charter agreement and local regulations.

We recommend:
  • Soft luggage
  • Swimwear
  • Sunscreen
  • Sunglasses
  • Light clothing
  • Non-slip shoes
