SailChecker Expert View

Ideal for small groups The Bad Buoy suits couples or small families wanting a modern, well-equipped 45-footer without breaking the bank. Four cabins sleeping eight means you've got flexibility—sail with friends or just enjoy the extra space as two couples.

Seriously well-equipped This 2021 Elan is genuinely impressive on paper: bow thruster for easy berthing, autopilot, heating (rare and brilliant in shoulder seasons), Wi-Fi, and a proper teak cockpit with cushions and speakers. The swimming platform and sprayhood are thoughtful touches for comfort underway.

Strong value proposition A zero deposit with More Sailing is refreshing, and you're getting a newish boat with gear that typically costs extra elsewhere. For a 45-metre sail yacht, the spec-to-price ratio looks competitive.

One note on location We don't have the charter base listed here, which matters hugely for long-haul travel—you'll want to confirm where this boat actually operates before booking. Once you know the base, check flight connections and transfer times from your nearest hub, as that often tips the scales on charter decisions.

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