SailChecker note

25 years old. Yachts of this age statistically need more in-charter maintenance attention, ask the operator for the recent service log when you enquire, and budget a small contingency for niggles (a stuck winch, a tired bilge pump). On a well-cared-for boat this is usually just part of the rhythm of charter, on a neglected one, it can spoil a week.

Solid mid-range cruiser The Falcon 80 Fly is a well-established 24-metre motoryacht that works well for mixed groups of 6, 8 wanting comfort without breaking the bank. At 20 years old, she's proven her seaworthiness, though you're getting mature-yacht character rather than cutting-edge luxury.

Practical highlights Four cabins with eight berths give flexible sleeping arrangements for families or friends, and the flybridge layout is excellent for socialising and taking in views. Snorkelling gear included is a nice touch for Mediterranean or Caribbean cruising, depending on where Boat Experiences bases her.

Good value proposition A €500 deposit is refreshingly low and signals confidence in the offering. At this size and age, daily rates should feel accessible compared to newer superyachts, making her attractive if your budget is moderate but your appetite for time at sea is genuine.

One practical note You'll want to confirm the exact charter base with Boat Experiences, it's not listed here, so you can factor in your long-haul flight and ground transfers. Also ask whether she's actively maintained to current standards, as a 2001 yacht's systems and engines need transparent servicing records to justify her value.

Licences
We have not confirmed whether this yacht is crewed or requires a sailing licence. We will check the exact requirements with the operator when you enquire.
Security deposit
A refundable security deposit is taken at the base by card swipe or cash. The exact amount is confirmed at quote time; refunded after handover provided the boat and inventory are returned undamaged.
Cancellation
Cancellation terms are operator-specific and disclosed in the charter contract before payment. As a rule, most Mediterranean operators retain the full charter fee within 30 days of departure; we recommend charter cancellation insurance via a UK broker (typically 4-5% of the charter fee).

Frequently asked questions 14 answers Charter basics · deposits · what's included
Does Mare & Luna come with a crew, or is it bareboat?
The operator lists Mare & Luna as available with crew, though we have not independently confirmed the exact arrangement for this specific yacht. Get in touch and we will check the crew and skipper details with the operator before you book.
What experience or licence do we need to charter Mare & Luna?
That depends on the exact crew arrangement, which we have not confirmed for this specific yacht yet. Tell us your experience level when you enquire and we will check with the operator what, if anything, is required.
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 and proof of payment. We will confirm the exact crew arrangement and any licence requirements with the operator ahead of your charter.
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.
What's included, and do we need a skipper?
The operator lists this yacht as crewed, though we have not independently confirmed the exact crew and licence details for this specific hull. Get in touch and we will verify exactly what is included, and whether any sailing experience is needed, with the operator before you book.
Can we sail to a neighbouring country during the charter?
Sometimes, with the operator's written consent and the right paperwork. Common cross-borders: Croatia → Montenegro, Greece → Turkey, BVI → USVI. Most operators charge a one-off cruising-permit fee (typically €100–€300) and need 4–8 weeks' notice. Tell us at quote time and we'll arrange it: spontaneous border-crossing during the trip usually isn't allowed.
Do I need travel insurance on top of the charter insurance?
Yes. The yacht is insured by the operator for damage and third-party liability, but that doesn't cover you. Charter cancellation insurance (typically 4–5% of the charter fee) covers you if you have to cancel last-minute; standard travel insurance covers medical, flight, and personal-effects loss. We can recommend a UK broker that bundles both.
What happens if there's bad weather on the day?
For day-to-day weather you'll plan the week to avoid the worst: the Adriatic and Aegean have very predictable wind patterns. If a serious storm makes the start-day handover impossible, the operator delays check-in until conditions improve and refunds any lost days. The yacht itself is insured against weather damage, so you're not exposed.
Can I hold this yacht while I decide?
Yes: an option holds the yacht in your name for typically 48–72 hours at no cost. Useful if you're waiting on the rest of the crew to confirm, comparing it against another yacht, or sorting flights. Ask us when you enquire and we'll arrange the option with the operator.
