SailChecker Expert View

Who it suits This 50-footer is perfect for groups of up to nine looking for comfortable, modern sailing without the mega-yacht price tag. It's ideal if you want genuine cruising capability with five proper cabins and serious navigation kit.

Standout features The 2017 Elan is well-equipped with electric winches, bow thruster, autopilot, and radar, reducing physical demands and making solo or shorthanded sailing genuinely manageable. Solar panels plus air conditioning and heating mean you're sailing in genuine comfort, not roughing it.

Value for money At €4,000 per week, you're getting a modern, fully-crewed-optional vessel with premium gear that would cost considerably more elsewhere. That teak cockpit and five-cabin layout offer serious bang for your charter euro, especially for larger groups splitting costs.

One honest note The base location appears to be missing from the listing, you'll want to confirm it's actually Mallorca and check airport transfer times from your nearest hub (likely Barcelona or Palma). Without knowing the exact marina, it's hard to assess how convenient the embarkation really is for international guests.

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