SailChecker Expert View

Perfect starter choice This 2005 First 31.7 suits couples or small families wanting an accessible introduction to bareboat sailing without breaking the bank. At €1,657 per week, it's genuinely affordable for a European coastal adventure.

Solid, practical boat The yacht delivers honest essentials: chart plotter and autopilot handle navigation, while the two cabins comfortably sleep four with two extra berths for friends. You get a working galley with refrigeration and a tender included—no hidden surprises.

Real value proposition For the price, this represents excellent value, especially if you're chartering from Crouesty (Brittany's premier sailing hub with direct flights from major UK and European hubs). The modest €2,850 deposit keeps your upfront costs down too.

Age consideration The elephant in the cabin: she's nearly 20 years old, so expect solid rather than shiny conditions. This isn't a con if you're mechanically savvy or simply want a reliable boat that won't stress you—just manage expectations about wear and finishes rather than expecting a newer-build feel.

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