Boat rental

Boat rental

  The marina has a long tradition of boat rentals, ranging from traditional wooden boats with lateen sails to the most modern catamarans and sailboats made by well known manufacturers.

As nautical tourism is getting popular with middle-class clientele, guests have been particularly interested in renting sailing yachts of 14 metres LOA or longer.

  Although all charter boats are fully insured, the guest has to make a down payment ranging from €1,000 to 2,000 which can be used to cover minor damages, in particular those made on purpose.

Some of the charter companies have agreements with insurance companies allowing boaters to pay a one-off premium instead of the down payment.

  Before check-in and check-out of the rented vessel, appointed skippers and their assistants use the list of inventory to check if hull, deck, rigging, equipment and other items are in order and not missing.

The inventory list, being part of the contract and therefore signed by both parties, includes checking main and outboard engine, tender, VHF radio transmitter, echo sounder, log – speed meter, radar, autopilot, GPS – satellite navigation, main sail, genoa, anchor(s), fire extinguisher, survival equipment, cradle or trailer, and other equipment.
