Perfect for small groups. The First 40.7 is a proven cruiser that suits families or friends wanting a manageable, well-equipped vessel without the complexity of a larger yacht. With 3 cabins sleeping up to 8, it's genuinely practical for 4–6 people in comfort.

Solid, unpretentious boat. Built in 2004, this design has aged well—the First 40 series remains a sensible choice for chartering. The lazy bag and autopilot are genuinely useful features that make cruising less exhausting, and having a dinghy included removes rental hassle. Nothing flashy, but everything works.

Fair value proposition. At €2,500 deposit, the economics look reasonable for a boat of this size and age. Without seeing the weekly rate, it's hard to judge comprehensively, but the inclusions (dinghy, lazy bag, autopilot) suggest the operator isn't cutting corners on essentials.

One small note: Palm Yachting shows only 1 review, so there's limited feedback to assess service reliability or how smoothly international guests (especially long-haul arrivals) are handled. Worth asking directly about their airport transfer arrangements and English-language support if you're flying in from afar.

The marina & destination

Based at Marina di San Vincenzo, in San Vincenzo, Italy. Milena is operated by Palm Yachting.

Molo F.lli Magnani

Can Milena be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Milena 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 Milena?

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.
