SailChecker Expert View

Perfect for larger groups. The Cyclades 50.5 offers excellent accommodation with 6 cabins sleeping 11 people, making it ideal for extended families or friend groups wanting to share costs and enjoy a proper cruising holiday together. The 2008 build keeps pricing reasonable while maintaining solid Cyclades reputation for build quality.

Well-equipped cruiser. Manitu comes with genuinely useful kit: lazy jack and bag make sail handling effortless, a bow thruster eases tight marina work, solar panels support extended cruising, and the sprayhood plus bimini keep the cockpit comfortable in variable conditions. The snorkeling gear and SUP are nice bonuses for Mediterranean exploration.

Strong value proposition. At €3,040 per week with zero deposit required and an outstanding 5/5 operator rating from 12 verified reviews, Istion Yachting clearly delivers reliable service and well-maintained vessels. Split among 8–11 people, the cost-per-person becomes very attractive for a week's sailing.

Single caveat worth noting. A 15.6m boat with 11 berths means some cabins will be snug—this works brilliantly if everyone's comfortable sharing close quarters, but families wanting privacy or larger sleeping spaces should confirm cabin layouts before committing. The 2008 age is respectable but worth a pre-charter systems inspection with the operator.

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