Questions, answered
Good to know
Do I need a sailing licence?
Only for a bareboat charter. The skipper needs an International Certificate of Competence (ICC) or an equivalent national licence, and someone aboard needs a VHF/SRC radio certificate. Prefer not to sail yourself? Book a skippered or crewed yacht and no licence is needed.
What is included in the price?
The weekly charter fee covers the yacht, its standard equipment, insurance of the hull and the mandatory extras we list on every yacht page — typically final cleaning and bed linen. The transit log, fuel, marina fees outside the base, food and drinks and any optional extras (skipper, paddle-board, outboard) are extra and shown before you pay.
How does the security deposit work?
A refundable security deposit is pre-authorised on a credit card at check-in at the marina — it is not charged. It is released after the yacht is returned undamaged. The amount is shown on each yacht page.
When do charters start and end?
Most weekly charters run Saturday to Saturday: you board on Saturday afternoon and hand the yacht back on the next Saturday morning. Each yacht page gives its exact check-in and check-out times.
Can I book a one-way charter?
Yes, on selected yachts — for example Bodrum to Marmaris or Göcek to Kaş. A one-way fee may apply and is shown with the price.
How do I pay?
You pay the full charter price online by card when you book — there is no balance to pay later. Anything payable at the marina (such as the refundable security deposit) is shown separately before you confirm. Prices are in euros.
