SailChecker Expert View

Perfect for serious sailors wanting modern comfort without compromise. The 2024 First 53 is a performance cruiser that actually delivers on both speed and liveability, so you'll enjoy engaging sailing plus proper amenities after long days on the water.

What stands out is the crewed option paired with genuinely useful kit—electric winches take the grind out of sail handling, the bow thruster makes tight anchorages stress-free, and a water maker means you're not rationing fresh water across a week. The teak deck and air conditioning are the cherry on top for a modern yacht at this size.

Strong value proposition here: a 2024 build in the premium crewed line, backed by a 4.8-star operator rating, suggests Spartivento looks after their fleet and guests well. For international clients flying in, a newer boat and established operator mean fewer surprises and better support.

One realistic note: we don't have the base location in the data, so you'll want to check airport transfer times and whether English-speaking crew are standard—both matter when you're crossing oceans to arrive.

Frequently asked questions
Can Ottima - Premium Crewed line be rented with or without a skipper?
You can charter Ottima - Premium Crewed line 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 Ottima - Premium Crewed line?
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.
