SailChecker Expert View

Sleek motor cruiser The Canados 72 "Why Not" is a stylish 22.8-metre motoryacht built in 2009, ideal for guests who want comfort and speed over sailing skill. With four cabins sleeping up to nine, it suits multi-family groups or friends who prefer the relaxed pace of motor cruising to traditional sailing.

Standout highlights The teak deck and air conditioning make this vessel feel refined, while practical touches like bow thruster and autopilot take the stress out of manoeuvring in tight spots. You'll also appreciate the onboard entertainment—think TV, radio-CD, and stand-up paddleboards for exploring calmer anchorages.

Value perspective A zero deposit is genuinely unusual and signals real confidence from Free Charter Srl; combined with 2009 build quality and well-rounded equipment, this represents solid value for a four-cabin motor yacht in that size bracket. You're paying for comfort and convenience rather than cutting-edge newness.

One practical note The charter base location isn't listed here, which matters when you're flying in from abroad—you'll want to confirm the airport transfer time and whether the operator offers English-speaking crew or skippered options before booking. That said, the zero deposit removes one barrier to committing to your inquiry.

Frequently asked questions
Can Why Not be rented with or without a skipper?
You can charter Why Not 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 Why Not?
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.
