SailChecker Expert View

Ideal for larger groups. With 5 cabins and 12 berths, JACKPOT is built for families or friends wanting to share costs on a proper sailing adventure—not a cramped floating hotel room situation.

Well-equipped and practical. Solar panels, electric winches, bow thruster, and air conditioning mean you get modern comfort without constant engine running or manual grinding. The sprayhood, bimini, and snorkeling kit cover most bases for a relaxed charter.

Solid value proposition. A 2017 Beneteau 48 with this gear spec and a modest €500 deposit suggests competitive pricing for a mid-sized cruiser, especially if you're splitting berths across a group of 8-12 people.

One heads-up: MGV Yachts Cruises isn't a household name internationally, so do verify their support, fuel policies, and whether the base location (not listed here) offers convenient airport access for long-haul arrivals from the US or northern Europe—that matters when you're flying 6+ hours to get there.

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