A/C, GENERATOR, ELECTRIC WINCH, BOWTHRUSTER , BBQ INSTALLED, INOX GANGWAY. OUTBOARD INCLUDED, NEW MAIN SAIL 2026

Perfect for larger groups With 6 cabins and 12 berths, Splash is ideal for extended families or friend groups wanting to charter together without splitting costs across multiple boats. The 2023 build means you're getting a modern, well-maintained vessel with the latest technology.

Seriously well-equipped This boat has thought of nearly everything: lazy jacks and bag for easy sail handling, a generator and inverter for creature comforts, bow thruster for tight anchorages, and even solar panels to keep things sustainable. Snorkeling gear, dinghy, and a cockpit barbecue mean you'll rarely need to leave the boat for entertainment or meals.

Excellent value proposition A €0 deposit is genuinely unusual and generous, it removes friction from booking and shows Istion Yachting's confidence in their fleet. Combined with a perfect 5/5 operator rating across 12 reviews, you're looking at a reputable outfit that backs their boats.

One practical note The charter base location isn't listed here, so before committing, confirm airport proximity and transfer logistics from your home airport, critical when flying long-haul with a large group. Once you know the base, cross-reference flight connections and ground transport time to make sure the logistics suit your crew.

The marina & destination

Based at Rhodes New Marina, in Rhodes, Greece. Splash is operated by Istion Yachting.

Why this is a great starting point

Rhodes New Marina sits at the eastern edge of the Dodecanese islands, offering direct access to the Turkish coast and the protected waters of the nearby Symi and Tilos. Week 1 typically involves sailing north to island-hop through Symi, Nimos, and Alimia, or southwest toward Chalki and the Datça Peninsula; winds favour a mix of morning breezes and reliable afternoon northerlies. The marina itself is well-equipped with modern facilities and sits close enough to Rhodes Town for provisioning, making it a solid operational base for first-time visitors to Greek island sailing.

Can Splash be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Splash 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 Splash?

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.
