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.
Solid family cruiser This 2003 Gib Sea 51 is a well-established cruising design that suits families or mixed groups of up to 9 people wanting genuine sailing comfort without fuss. The five cabins spread across 15.8 metres give reasonable privacy, and the classic Gib Sea build quality means she'll handle a proper offshore passage if you want one.
Practical touring boat You're getting sensible cruising kit here, sprayhood and bimini for sun protection, lazy bag for easy sail handling, bow thruster for tight anchorages, and autopilot for those longer coastal passages. The outboard engine is basic but adequate, and the dinghy is essential for the Mediterranean anchor-outs Centro Italia Vela likely offers.
Good value proposition At zero deposit and with the Gib Sea's reputation for reasonable maintenance costs, this represents fair value for a larger bareboat that handles 9 people. You're paying for space and proven design rather than flashy modern features.
One practical note The 2003 vintage means some systems (electrics, plumbing) may need attention, standard for boats of this age. Before committing, ask Centro Italia Vela directly about the recent survey and any known quirks, especially engine hours and whether the bow thruster is genuinely reliable or occasionally temperamental.
