SailChecker Expert View

Solid choice for groups. At 27 metres with five cabins sleeping eleven, the Capricorn 1 is built for larger parties who want comfortable, independent cruising without the formality of a mega-yacht. The motorsailer design gives you engine reliability plus the option to sail when conditions suit.

Well-equipped for comfort. Teak decks, air conditioning, a proper galley with dishwasher, Wi-Fi, and a dinghy with stand-up paddle board mean you're not roughing it—this feels like a floating home rather than a stripped-back boat. Generator and full electronics keep modern life running smoothly even at anchor.

Excellent value positioning. The zero-euro deposit is genuinely appealing, and for a custom-built 27m with this cabin count and equipment spec, pricing through 4U Yachting should sit well below ultra-luxury alternatives. You're getting serious space and capability without the premium five-star tag.

Missing one detail. The charter base location isn't listed in your data, so I can't advise on airport transfers or how long your flight will take from major hubs—worth confirming with 4U Yachting whether it's accessible for international clients and what the crew handover logistics look like.

Frequently asked questions
Can Capricorn 1 be rented with or without a skipper?
You can charter Capricorn 1 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 Capricorn 1?
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.
