Perfect for groups The Sherdana is an excellent choice if you're chartering with friends or family, four cabins and nine berths mean everyone gets their own bunk without feeling cramped. She's a 2018 Bavaria Cruiser 46, so you're getting a modern, well-maintained boat that handles the cruising fundamentals really well.

Well-equipped cruiser What stands out here is the thoughtful extras: sprayhood and lazy jack make sailing more comfortable, the chart plotter keeps navigation straightforward, and heating matters if you're exploring cooler waters or shoulder seasons. You've also got a dinghy included, which is genuinely useful for exploring anchorages and getting ashore.

Solid value proposition At a €2500 deposit with a 5-star operator rating, this looks like honest pricing for a well-kept group boat. Sail and Experience clearly maintain their fleet properly, and that five-star feedback tells you other charterers have been genuinely happy here.

One minor note The listing doesn't specify the charter base location, so you'll want to confirm exactly where this boat operates, that affects your flight logistics and what sailing grounds you'll access. Once you've got that detail locked in, this is a confidence-inspiring choice for a multi-cabin holiday.

Based at Marina di Stabia, in Castellammare di Stabia, Italy. Sherdana is operated by Sail and Experience .

Why this is a great starting point

Marina di Stabia sits in the Bay of Naples with straightforward access to the Sorrentine Peninsula and Capri; week one typically involves reaching Positano or Amalfi within a day's sail, then exploring the dramatic coastline and small anchorages around Praiano. The marina works well as a base for either Greek-bound charters heading south through the Tyrrhenian Sea or week-long loops around the Amalfi Coast, Ischia, and Procida. Light to moderate southwesterlies dominate in summer, making eastbound passages to the Greek islands more reliable later in the season.

Location: Marina di Stabia · Castellammare di Stabia · Italy
Check-in: Flexible from 17:00. Alternative times can usually be agreed with the operator at booking.
Check-out: By 08:00 on the return day. Empty the boat, refuel if required, then a 30-minute handover with the base manager.
Licences: ICC or RYA Day Skipper licence and VHF certificate are required. Italian operators ask for a sailing CV; conditions are stricter in the Aeolian Islands than on the mainland.
Security deposit: €2,500 · held at base by card swipe or cash. Refunded after handover provided the boat and inventory are returned undamaged.
Cancellation: Cancellation terms are operator-specific and disclosed in the charter contract before payment. As a rule, most Mediterranean operators retain the full charter fee within 30 days of departure; we recommend charter cancellation insurance via a UK broker (typically 4-5% of the charter fee).

Can Sherdana be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Sherdana 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 Sherdana?

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.

Bareboat or skippered — which suits our crew?

Bareboat is for crews with at least one experienced skipper (RYA Day Skipper / ICC level) plus a co-skipper, and a track record of similar passages. Skippered charters add a professional skipper for typically £150–£250 per day — recommended if anyone in your group is light on Mediterranean experience, if you want a relaxed week without responsibility, or if the area is new to you. You can also hire a hostess (cook + cabin help) on top.

Can we sail to a neighbouring country during the charter?

Sometimes, with the operator's written consent and the right paperwork. Common cross-borders: Croatia → Montenegro, Greece → Turkey, BVI → USVI. Most operators charge a one-off cruising-permit fee (typically €100–€300) and need 4–8 weeks' notice. Tell us at quote time and we'll arrange it — spontaneous border-crossing during the trip usually isn't allowed.

Do I need travel insurance on top of the charter insurance?

Yes. The yacht is insured by the operator for damage and third-party liability, but that doesn't cover you. Charter cancellation insurance (typically 4–5% of the charter fee) covers you if you have to cancel last-minute; standard travel insurance covers medical, flight, and personal-effects loss. We can recommend a UK broker that bundles both.

What happens if there's bad weather on the day?

For day-to-day weather you'll plan the week to avoid the worst — the Adriatic and Aegean have very predictable wind patterns. If a serious storm makes the start-day handover impossible, the operator delays check-in until conditions improve and refunds any lost days. The yacht itself is insured against weather damage, so you're not exposed.

Can I hold this yacht while I decide?

Yes — an option holds the yacht in your name for typically 48–72 hours at no cost. Useful if you're waiting on the rest of the crew to confirm, comparing it against another yacht, or sorting flights. Ask us when you enquire and we'll arrange the option with the operator.

We'll check live availability, apply any discounts, and come back within hours.
