Ideal for families This 2026 catamaran sleeps up to 10 across five cabins, making it excellent value for larger groups or multi-family charters. The beam and layout typical of an 11-metre cat mean comfortable communal spaces and stability, perfect if anyone's prone to seasickness.

Well-equipped modern vessel You're getting a nearly new boat with thoughtful touches: electric winches ease sailing duties, autopilot lets you relax on passage, and the bimini keeps the sun off during anchorages. The inverter means proper charging for phones and laptops without running the engine constantly.

Strong value proposition At €4,250 per week for ten berths, you're looking at roughly €425 per person for accommodation on a modern cat, genuinely competitive. The modest €3,000 deposit is reassuring too.

One practical note We don't have the base location listed in your details, so I can't advise on flight connections or transfer times from major European hubs. I'd recommend checking with MG Vacanze directly about where "Elyvian Spirit" operates, that'll be crucial for working out your overall travel logistics from the US or UK.

The marina & destination

Based at Taranto, in Taranto, Italy. Elyvian Spirit is operated by MG Vacanze.

Why this is a great starting point

Taranto sits on Italy's heel and works well as a base for exploring the Ionian Sea's less-crowded cruising grounds; week one typically takes you south to the Salento Peninsula and its limestone cliffs, or north towards the Itria Valley anchorages within easy reach. The marina serves as a logical gateway to Greece if you're planning a longer charter, though the 80nm crossing to Corfu means most week-long itineraries stay within the Italian Ionian, where winds tend to be moderate and the sailing straightforward.

Can Elyvian Spirit be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Elyvian Spirit 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 Elyvian Spirit?

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.
