SailChecker Expert View

A classic cruiser The Ferretti 53 is a well-established Italian motoryacht design that suits relaxed, comfort-focused cruisers who prefer powered travel without wanting to sacrifice style or onboard amenities. She's ideal if you want to cover distance easily while anchoring in beautiful spots, rather than dealing with sails and active sailing.

Standout kit The water maker and solar panels are genuinely useful for extended charters, keeping you independent in remote anchorages. Teak decking, air conditioning throughout, and a solid electronics suite (radar, autopilot, bow thruster) all point to a yacht designed for serious cruising, not just weekend trips.

Value angle At 21 years old, she's a mature vessel, but the spec sheet suggests decent maintenance and thoughtful upgrades—the zero deposit is also refreshing and lowers your upfront barrier to booking. You're paying for a proven, comfortable platform rather than flash, which is honest value for a working cruiser.

One honest note You'll want to confirm the exact base location and season availability—the operator info is clear, but the charter base wasn't specified in your brief, so factor in your flight logistics and whether she operates year-round in the region you're targeting.

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