SailChecker Expert View

Perfect for groups This 46-footer sleeps nine across four cabins, making it ideal for families or friends wanting to share costs on a week-long adventure. At €4,455/week, that works out to roughly €495 per person for a week afloat, genuinely good value for a 2018 Bavaria with modern systems.

Well-equipped cruiser The gennaker, electric toilet, sprayhood, and chart plotter signal a boat that's been maintained with cruising comfort in mind rather than racing ego. You're getting practical gear that makes passage-making and anchorages less of a hassle, which matters when you've flown halfway across the world to relax.

Operator looks solid Sail Along holds a perfect 5-star rating, albeit from just three reviews, so take that as a promising starting point rather than cast-iron proof. The €2,500 deposit is reasonable and suggests straightforward terms.

One practical note The listing doesn't specify the charter base location, which you'll need to confirm before booking, flight connections and airport transfer time vary wildly depending on whether you're looking at the Mediterranean, Croatia, or Atlantic islands. Once you know where she's berthed, you can properly assess your travel logistics.

The marina & destination

Based at Ponta Delgada, in Ponta Delgada, Portugal. Tolui is operated by Sail Along.

Why this is a great starting point

Ponta Delgada marina, located on São Miguel in the Azores, puts you within striking distance of Portugal's most remote and dramatic cruising grounds. Week 1 typically involves exploring the nearby islands of Santa Maria and São Jorge, with reliable northeast trade winds providing consistent sailing; the volcanic anchorages and steep-sided bays offer shelter and dramatic scenery unavailable elsewhere in European waters. The 600-nautical-mile isolation from mainland Portugal means fewer charter boats and well-developed provisioning in the city itself, though passages between islands demand respect for Atlantic swells and weather windows.

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