SailChecker Expert View

Built for families The Gib Sea 43 suits groups and families wanting a manageable 43-footer with genuine living space, 10 berths across 4 cabins mean you're not cramped, and the 2003 build is well-proven. If you're chartering with kids or three couples, this layout punches above its weight.

Comfort at sea Air conditioning, solar panels, an electric toilet, and a bow thruster make this boat genuinely comfortable for longer passages and tighter anchorages. The bimini keeps you shaded on deck, and the refrigerator means proper provisioning, no skimping on fresh food.

Solid value proposition At €2000 deposit with a 5/5-rated operator, DEDA Sailing has earned genuine trust across their reviews. For a 20-year-old boat, the spec sheet is honest and practical rather than flashy, which usually means reasonable charter rates and realistic expectations.

Check berth comfort With 10 berths on a 43-footer, you're getting efficient use of space rather than luxury, some cabins will be snug, so confirm exact cabin layouts and berth widths directly with DEDA before booking if comfort sleeping is a priority for your group.

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