SailChecker Expert View

Perfect for couples This 14.1m Ferretti 480 is an ideal choice if you're looking for a relaxed motorboat escape with a partner or small group of up to six guests. The three-cabin layout gives everyone their own space without feeling cramped, which matters on a motor yacht where you're spending time indoors.

Solid Italian cruising Ferrettis are known for reliable build quality and comfortable living spaces, and this one comes nicely equipped with stand-up paddleboards and snorkeling gear included, no rental fees on top. The zero-deposit requirement is a genuine bonus that makes booking simpler, though do confirm what's covered under the cancellation policy.

Reasonable value proposition At 19 years old, you're paying less than a newer model would cost, which is fair given the condition and amenities. Motor yachts burn fuel faster than sailboats, so factor in running costs when comparing total price to other options in her class.

One practical note The base location isn't specified in your details, so confirm transfer times from your nearest international airport and whether Passion Yachting offers English-speaking crew or support, these details matter when flying long-haul. That information will help you assess the true convenience of getting to and from "Arabella."

The marina & destination

Based at Paros port, in Paros, Greece. Arabella is operated by Passion Yachting.

Why this is a great starting point

Paros port offers excellent access to the central Cyclades, with the nearby islands of Naxos, Antiparos, and Delos reachable within a few hours of sailing. Week one typically involves relaxed beam reaches between these islands; you'll have reliable northerly winds and sheltered anchorages at Naoussa, Drios, and around Antiparos. The port itself has good provisioning and repair facilities, making it a practical base before heading south towards Ios and Santorini or north towards Mykonos.

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