SailChecker Expert View

Perfect for families The Aquila 54 is an excellent choice if you're traveling with children or a larger group—four cabins sleep eight comfortably, and the flybridge gives everyone space to spread out. The zero deposit is a genuine bonus that keeps costs down upfront.

Smart, modern design As a 2023 build, this power catamaran comes with the latest tech: solar panels keep running costs low, Wi-Fi keeps you connected, and the snorkeling gear plus tender let you explore shallow reefs and hidden anchorages easily. The catamaran hull means excellent stability and fuel efficiency compared to monohulls.

Strong value proposition At 16 meters, you're getting a spacious, fuel-efficient vessel without the premium price tag of larger superyachts—ideal if you want comfort and range without breaking the bank. The operator (Istion Luxury Yachts) is well-regarded in Mediterranean chartering.

One practical note The base location isn't specified in the listing, so you'll need to confirm airport proximity and transfer times before booking—critical when flying from the US or northern Europe, as your connecting flight window depends on where the boat actually is.

Frequently asked questions
Can EXPLORION be rented with or without a skipper?
You can charter EXPLORION bareboat (you skipper) if you hold the relevant sailing licence, or hire a professional skipper alongside the yacht. The choice is yours when you request the quote.
What sailing licence do I need to charter EXPLORION?
Bareboat charter typically requires a recognised sailing licence (RYA Day Skipper, ICC, ASA, or equivalent) plus a VHF radio licence. The exact requirements depend on the country of charter — we confirm with the operator when you enquire.
What's included in the charter price?
The charter fee covers the yacht, standard equipment, and insurance for the dates booked. Tourist tax, transit log (final cleaning + bed linen), fuel, food, marina fees during the trip, and any optional extras (skipper, paddle board, etc.) are normally extra and paid at the base.
What additional costs should I expect at the base?
Typical mandatory extras are the transit log (often €200–€350), tourist tax (a small per-person-per-day fee), and a refundable security deposit (often €1,500–€5,000 depending on the yacht). Optional extras like a skipper, hostess, paddle board, or early check-in are listed on the quote.
How does the security deposit work?
The deposit is held by the operator at check-in (usually card pre-authorisation) and refunded after check-out if the yacht is returned without damage. Many operators offer a deposit-waiver insurance product that reduces the held amount in exchange for a smaller non-refundable premium.
Can I cancel my charter booking?
Cancellation terms vary by operator. Most allow cancellation with a full refund if requested more than 60–90 days before the start date, with progressive penalties closer to departure. Some operators offer a flexible-cancellation insurance product when you book.
Is the yacht insured?
Yes — every yacht is insured by the operator against damage and third-party liability. The insurance covers the yacht itself; personal effects and trip cancellation are not covered and are worth insuring separately.
What documents do I need to bring?
You'll need your passport, sailing licence (if chartering bareboat), VHF radio licence, and proof of payment. The operator will send a check-in form ahead of time covering crew details and any special requests.
What payment methods are accepted?
Charter fees are normally paid by bank transfer in advance (often a 50% deposit at booking, balance 30 days before charter). On-base extras are usually paid by card or in cash.
