A solid mid-range cruiser The Beneteau 50 is a proven design that strikes a good balance between sailing performance and comfort for mixed-ability crews. At 15.5 metres with four cabins sleeping eight, MIKY is well-proportioned for a group charter without feeling cramped.

Well-equipped for cruising This boat comes with genuinely useful kit: electric winches make sail handling easier, a bow thruster simplifies tight mooring situations, and the gennaker gives you options in lighter winds. Creature comforts like the inverter, fridge, and cockpit speakers suggest the owner understands what charter guests actually want on deck.

Reasonable value for the year A 2000-built boat at this size is honest about its age, but the equipment list suggests it's been maintained and upgraded thoughtfully. The €2,000 deposit is refreshingly accessible compared to many charter yachts in this class.

One practical note: You'll want to confirm the exact charter base location and whether there's a dedicated airport transfer service from your arrival airport, these details matter when you're flying long-haul and coordinating crew pickups. The Venti Nodi operator should be able to walk you through logistics and local sailing conditions once you've got the location confirmed.

The marina & destination

Based at La Cala (Porto Palermo), in Palermo, Italy. MIKY is operated by Venti Nodi.

Why this is a great starting point

La Cala in Porto Palermo sits on Sicily's north coast, offering direct access to the Tyrrhenian Sea and the Aeolian Islands. Week one typically covers the volcanic islands of Lipari and Vulcano (30-40 nautical miles), with moderate northwesterly winds pushing you southeast through excellent anchorages and fishing villages. The protected waters of the Cefalù coast lie westward for lighter wind days, making this an ideal base for mixed sailing conditions and a strong introduction to Mediterranean cruising.

Can MIKY be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter MIKY 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 MIKY?

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.
