Perfect for Groups Ziphius is an excellent choice if you're chartering with friends or family—five cabins and nine berths mean everyone gets their own space without feeling cramped. The 2023 Bali 4.2 is a modern, well-equipped catamaran that handles beautifully in the Mediterranean.

Smart Onboard Comfort Solar panels paired with an inverter and electric systems make this boat genuinely easy to live aboard, while the electric winches take the physical effort out of sailing. The cockpit barbecue and cushions are perfect for sunset gatherings, and the chart plotter keeps navigation straightforward.

Fair Value Proposition At a 12.8m catamaran with this specification and cabin count, the pricing sits in the mid-range for Sardinian charters—reasonable for what you're getting, though the €4,500 deposit is on the higher side.

One Honest Note The operator rating of 3.3/5 suggests some variability in service quality or boat condition reports. Before booking, it's worth asking specifically about recent guest feedback and requesting detailed pre-charter photos, especially given that you'll likely be flying long-haul from the US or UK to reach Sardinia.

Can Ziphius be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Ziphius 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 Ziphius?

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.
