What happens in case of bad weather?

Safety is our top priority. In the event of adverse weather conditions that make sailing unsafe, the captain (if any) or our team will assess the options. Generally, an attempt will be made to reschedule the charter or tour date. If this is not possible, the refund policies in the contract terms will apply.

Can I bring food and drink on board?

For bareboat charters (without crew), you are free to organise your own catering. For many guided/private tours or skippered charters, we sometimes offer refreshment or lunch packages on board at an additional cost, but you are often allowed to bring your own. Always check the specific conditions when booking.

What does the rental/tour price include?

The basic price usually includes the use of the boat and compulsory safety equipment. Additional costs, such as fuel, compulsory insurance, food and drink, and parking are excluded and specified separately. We advise you to check the product details carefully.

Are the boats insured?

Yes. All our vessels are covered by compulsory insurance, as required by current regulations. Insurance cover details are available and can be consulted, ensuring maximum transparency.

Where is the meeting point? Are there parking spaces available?

The meeting point for boat hire and shared tours is at our Yacht Club “Nausika”, Via Montecchio Nord 21 - 23823 Colico (LC). Reservable parking spaces are available here at a cost of €15. For private tours, the meeting point can be arranged as required.

What documents should I bring with me on the day of the rental/tour?

It is sufficient to present a valid identification document (ID card or passport) and, if required for the type of charter, the original boat licence. For private and shared tours, an ID card is sufficient for identification. To speed up check-in, it is important to bring the contract, automatically generated at the time of booking, completed and signed.
