SailChecker Expert View

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.

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