SailChecker Expert View

Perfect for groups. With six cabins and berths for ten, this 2020 Astréa 42 is ideal for larger crews or extended families wanting to share costs on a proper sailing holiday. The catamaran layout means plenty of space and stability, especially appreciated by less experienced sailors or anyone prone to seasickness.

Smart, modern setup. Solar panels and an electric toilet are thoughtful touches that reduce noise and running costs—you'll appreciate the quiet nights at anchor. The sprayhood and radio-CD player round out a comfortable cruising package without unnecessary frills.

Value question mark. At this stage, it's hard to call the pricing without knowing the weekly rate, but the €3,000 deposit is reasonable. The operator has minimal review history (just one rating), so you're taking a bit of a punt on service quality and local knowledge.

One consideration. The base location isn't listed in your data, which matters hugely for international travelers—you'll want to check how accessible it is from major airports and whether English-speaking support is solid before committing. Reach out to Tsirigotis directly to confirm where you'll be departing from.

Frequently asked questions
Can Ooga Chacka be rented with or without a skipper?
You can charter Ooga Chacka 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 Ooga Chacka?
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.
