Perfect for groups. With 5 cabins and 10 berths, Kaiba is genuinely spacious for families or friends wanting to charter together, rare to find this much comfortable sleeping accommodation on a 54-footer. The 2023 build means everything onboard feels fresh and well-maintained.

Well-equipped vessel. You're getting serious cruising kit here: bow thruster for tight mooring spots, radar for navigation, generator for reliable power, and a dinghy included, no nickel-and-diming on essentials. The electric toilet and inverter are practical touches that improve daily comfort.

Smart financial sense. A €4,000 deposit on a premium, newer yacht is reasonable risk management for the charter company, and Rudder&Moor's 5-star rating (6 reviews) suggests they maintain their fleet well and handle bookings fairly. You're likely looking at competitive day rates for this spec and size.

One practical note: We don't have the charter base location listed, that matters significantly for international travelers planning flights and transfers. Check with Rudder&Moor directly about where Kaiba is based, as it affects how accessible she is from major European or US airports.

The marina & destination

Based at Albatros Marina, in Marmaris, Turkey. Kaiba is operated by rudder&moor.

Why this is a great starting point

Albatros Marina in Marmaris puts you within easy reach of the Turkish Riviera's most popular week-one cruising grounds: the Bozburun Peninsula to the east and the Greek islands of Symi and Rhodes to the south, both achievable in 4-6 hours of sailing. The marina benefits from consistent northwesterly winds during summer months, which favor passages along the coast toward Datça and into the shallow bays around Ekincik. From here, a typical first week involves island-hopping between protected anchorages, exploring pine-backed coves, and visiting working fishing villages with minimal tourist infrastructure.

Can Kaiba be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Kaiba 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 Kaiba?

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.

We'll check live availability, apply any discounts, and come back within hours.
