Who it suits This 56-footer is ideal for larger groups or multi-family charters wanting genuine comfort without mega-yacht complexity. With five cabins and 12 berths, you've got real flexibility for extended family trips or friends who want their own space.

Standout features The teak deck, swimming platform, and bimini canopy signal a yacht built for relaxation and entertaining. Bow thruster, sprayhood, and modern navigation gear mean even less experienced skippers can handle her confidently, practical touches that matter on a bareboat.

Value proposition At a 2014 build with solid cruising kit included (dinghy, heating, cockpit speakers), this represents honest value for a five-cabin charter. The €3,000 deposit is reasonable and suggests transparent, straightforward dealing from IRIS.

One heads-up We don't have the charter base location listed here, so confirm travel time from your nearest major European airport before booking, logistics matter when you're flying long-haul to pick up a boat.

The marina & destination

Based at Club Nàutic S`Arenal, in El Arenal, Spain. Maximum is operated by IRIS Yachtcharter.

Why this is a great starting point

Club Nàutic S'Arenal sits on Mallorca's east coast and offers straightforward access to the Balearic cruising grounds. Week one typically involves sailing south to Cabrera National Park (a full day's reach) or north along the sheltered east coast towards Cala Millor and beyond, with moderate easterly winds dominating summer months. The shallow, protected waters nearby suit lighter air conditions, though you'll need to plan passages carefully if heading further afield to Menorca or Ibiza.

Can Maximum be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Maximum 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 Maximum?

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.
