The charter fee covers the yacht, standard equipment, and insurance. Cleaning, tourist tax, and any optional extras (skipper, paddle board, etc.) are billed at the base — we confirm the full breakdown when you request a quote.
Charter pricing is famously opaque. Here's everything the operator will charge — mandatory items paid at the base, plus optional add-ons you can opt into.
Perfect for groups The First 53 "On y va" is an excellent choice if you're chartering with family or friends—eight berths across four well-appointed cabins give everyone breathing room, and the 2023 build means everything feels fresh and reliable. This boat suits sailors who want a blend of comfort and genuine sailing performance without the headache of a larger, more complex vessel.
Seriously well-equipped Hermes Yachting hasn't skimped here: electric winches, bow thruster, water maker, solar panels, and a gennaker mean you get modern convenience alongside proper sailing toys. The racing sails and gennaker tell you this boat has real pedigree—you can actually push her when conditions allow, rather than just motoring between anchorages.
Strong value proposition At €9,660 per week with a 5-star operator rating (21 reviews is a solid sample), you're looking at roughly €1,200 per person for a week of well-maintained, feature-rich sailing. For a brand-new First 53 with this spec and backup, that's genuinely competitive pricing, especially if you're flying long-haul from the US or northern Europe to reach the charter base.
One honest note We don't have the base location listed here, so do confirm airport access and transfer times before booking—that can make or break a transatlantic charter. Once you've verified logistics, though, this boat and operator combination is hard to fault.
