SailChecker Expert View

Perfect for groups. At 6 cabins and 9 berths, Zorba suits families or friends wanting to split costs on a larger vessel—that €8,600 weekly rate becomes genuinely affordable when divided among eight or nine people.

Well-equipped for comfort. Air conditioning, a fridge, and solar panels mean you won't sacrifice modern conveniences, and the snorkeling gear plus SUP board add value without extra rental fees. The bimini provides essential shade in warm Mediterranean or Caribbean waters.

Decent mid-range value. A 2007 Cyclades 50.5 at this price sits fairly in the market—not a bargain, but solid for a larger sailing yacht with those amenities included.

Know your skipper situation. The listing doesn't specify whether this comes with a professional skipper or if it's bareboat; that's critical to clarify before booking, as it dramatically affects your experience and total cost, especially for groups considering long-haul flights to reach the base.

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