About this yacht
water maker-solar panel
SailChecker Expert View

Perfect for groups Violante is an excellent choice if you're chartering with friends or family, four cabins and eight berths mean everyone gets their own sleeping space without feeling cramped. The 2025 build ensures modern systems throughout, which matters when you're flying in from afar and want reliability.

Well-equipped catamaran This boat ticks all the boxes for comfortable cruising: electric winches take the hard work out of sailing, autopilot lets you relax on passage, and the water maker is genuinely useful for longer trips in the Mediterranean. Solar panels plus solid onboard amenities (coffee maker, fridge, speakers) suggest thoughtful owner choices.

Reasonable value proposition At 11.8 metres, Violante sits in that sweet spot, roomy enough for four couples but not so massive you're paying mega-yacht money. The €3,500 deposit is standard, and Cagliari Sailing Charter's 4/5 rating across four reviews suggests solid service, though you might want to read what those reviews actually say before committing.

One practical note Cagliari, Sardinia is a straightforward destination from most European hubs and increasingly connected from the US via Rome or Milan, but do factor in ground transfers and a night's sleep before boarding, the Tyrrhenian Sea can be choppy in season, and fresh crew perform better after proper rest.

The marina & destination

Based at Marina di Cagliari, in Cagliari, Italy. Violante is operated by Cagliari Sailing Charter.

Via Roma - Molo Dogana

Why this is a great starting point

Marina di Cagliari sits in Sardinia's southeastern corner, making it an ideal launch point for exploring the Maddalena Archipelago and Costa Smeralda to the north; week 1 typically involves 2-3 day passages with reliable northwesterly winds to reach these granite-island groups. The marina also opens access to the southern Sardinian coast and nearby islands like Sant'Antioco, offering protected anchorages and shorter hops suitable for crews adjusting to sailing conditions. Expect moderate summer winds and well-charted waters with good provisioning stops throughout the week.

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