Refit 2025

Ideal for groups Velasquez is a solid choice for larger parties or families wanting to split costs, 10 berths across 4 cabins means everyone gets reasonable space without breaking the bank per person. The 2008 build age is respectable for a Cyclades 43, a proven cruising platform.

Well-equipped cruiser This boat ticks the practical boxes: dual chart plotters (including cockpit-mounted), autopilot for longer passages, and creature comforts like refrigeration and a coffee maker make extended sailing comfortable. The bimini and sprayhood are genuine additions for tropical or Mediterranean conditions.

Value-conscious choice A €3,000 deposit is reasonable, and the 5-star operator rating (though based on just 2 reviews) suggests reliable service. You're looking at a functional, no-frills cruiser rather than a luxury yacht, which suits budget-aware charterers well.

One note on planning The operator and base location aren't specified in your data, so confirm exactly where you'll be flying into and how long the transfer is from your nearest hub, that can make a real difference when you're traveling intercontinentally. Also check whether the dinghy and outboard are included in your charter price, as that varies by operator.

The marina & destination

Based at Marina di Nettuno, in Rome, Italy. Velasquez is operated by Velasquez.

Marina di Nettuno C.N. S.p.A Lungomare Matteotti snc

Why this is a great starting point

Marina di Nettuno sits 40km southwest of Rome, offering immediate access to the Tyrrhenian coast's sheltered waters and island-hopping routes. Week 1 cruising typically reaches the Pontine Islands (Ponza, Palmarola, Zannone) with steady northwesterly winds pushing you south, or explores the Campania coast toward the Bay of Naples and Ischia. The marina works well for charters wanting cultural variety: you can anchor near Roman ruins and small fishing villages while building sea time before committing to longer passages south toward Sardinia or the Amalfi Coast.

Can Velasquez be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Velasquez 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 Velasquez?

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.
