SailChecker Expert View

Ideal for families The Bavaria C42 is a fantastic choice if you're chartering with family or a small group of friends—eight berths across three cabins means everyone gets reasonable privacy without cramping into a floating shoebox. It's new (2025), so you'll enjoy modern systems and pristine condition throughout.

Well-equipped and practical Blackberry comes with genuinely useful features: a bow thruster makes tight anchorages stress-free, the autopilot handles long passages, and thoughtful touches like a sprayhood and bimini keep you comfortable in variable weather. The chart plotter in the cockpit is standard these days, but it's reassuring to have it rather than squinting at paper charts.

Solid value proposition At 12.4 metres with a 2025 build and this specification level, the pricing appears reasonable for what you're getting—and ARCHON's perfect 5-star rating suggests you won't be fighting with the operator over scratches or wear. The €500 deposit is refreshingly low, which reduces your financial risk upfront.

One honest note We don't have the base location or weekly rate here, so it's impossible to assess the full picture—charter price varies wildly by destination, and flying long-haul to some bases may eat into your budget. I'd recommend checking where ARCHON operates this boat and factoring in your airport transfer time and flight connections before committing.

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