SailChecker Expert View

Perfect for groups The Elan 40 is a solid choice for families or friend groups of 6, 8 people looking for a manageable sailing experience. Three cabins with 8 berths spread comfortably across an 11.9m hull makes this a genuinely sociable boat without feeling cramped.

Practical and well-equipped You're getting the essentials here: lazy bag and lazy jack mean less wrestling with the mainsail, autopilot takes the strain on longer passages, and a fridge keeps provisions fresh. The dinghy is included, which saves you hire costs and gives proper freedom to explore anchorages, always a plus when chartering.

Fair value proposition A 2003 boat at a sensible price point with a €3,000 deposit is honest pricing; she's past her first youth but the kit suggests the operator maintains her properly. Arundel Yachting has a solid reputation, which matters when you're committing a long-haul journey to reach the base.

One thing to note You'll want to confirm the exact base location from Arundel, it's not listed here, since your flight routing and transfer times from the airport will depend entirely on whether you're launching from the Solent, the South Coast, or elsewhere in the UK.

The marina & destination

Based at Marina di Porto Antico, in Genova, Italy. Peter Pan is operated by Arundel yachting.

Molo Ponte Morosini, 21

Why this is a great starting point

Marina di Porto Antico sits in central Genoa and offers immediate access to the Ligurian coast's varied cruising grounds. Week 1 typically takes you south toward Portofino and the Cinque Terre (steep-to anchorages and hillside villages), or northwest toward Portovenere and the Gulf of La Spezia, where northwesterly winds dominate in summer and provide reliable sailing. The marina's position in a working port means you get practical facilities rather than resort amenities, and you can easily provision in the city before heading to quieter anchorages along the Riviera di Levante or Riviera di Ponente.

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