Ideal for growing families This 2020 Astréa 42 catamaran works beautifully for groups of 6–10 seeking comfort without breaking the bank—think multi-generational crews or two families wanting to explore together. The four-cabin layout spreads people nicely, and the catamaran's stability makes it forgiving for less experienced sailors.

Modern, thoughtful touches Solar panels and an inverter mean you'll run essentials quietly at anchor; electric winches take the grunt work out of sail handling; and the electric toilet plus full galley (coffee maker included) keep everyone content on longer passages. These aren't luxury extras—they're genuinely useful for extended cruising.

Strong value proposition At this size and age with solid 2020 systems, Dorella represents honest money for what you get—especially if you're chartering internationally and want reliable, well-equipped kit without premium pricing. The €2000 deposit is reasonable.

One real note The operator has only one review on record, so you're betting on limited track record; I'd contact Sail on Wave directly to understand their service reputation and backup support before committing, particularly if you're flying long-haul to reach the base.

The marina & destination

Based at Marsala Marina, in Marsala, Italy. Dorella is operated by Sail on Wave.

Can Dorella be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Dorella 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 Dorella?

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.
