SailChecker Expert View

Solid mid-size cruiser The Cyclades 39.3 is a well-established design that suits couples, small families, or friends wanting genuine sailing without breaking the bank. At 12 metres with 3 cabins sleeping 8, you get comfortable space without the complexity (or cost) of a larger yacht.

Practical standout kit This boat comes properly equipped for a proper holiday, autopilot takes the strain on longer passages, the chart plotter keeps you oriented, and extras like snorkeling gear, dinghy, and cockpit speakers add real value to your week. The bimini and cockpit cushions matter more than they sound when you're spending full days on deck in Mediterranean sun.

Honest value proposition A €2,000 deposit is refreshingly modest, suggesting Charter Eolie prices reasonably across the board. For a 2008 boat of this size and spec in the Greek islands, you're looking at decent bang for your euro, especially if you're flying from the UK or US and want a no-fuss, proven platform.

One real consideration The Aeolian Islands base is spectacular but genuinely remote; factor in ferry or domestic flight time from major European hubs, plus ground transfer logistics. It's absolutely worth it for the sailing and isolation, but this isn't a "land, sail in an hour" scenario.

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