Double Cabin Panarea

I appreciate the interest, but I need to be honest with you: there's not enough reliable data here to give you a proper assessment. The year of build shows as "0," no base location is listed, and the deposit is suspiciously €0 , these are red flags that suggest incomplete or unverified information in the listing.

What I can see: The Aeolian Island Cabin 3 is a 26-metre gulet with solid cruising credentials , six cabins, a water maker, and air conditioning suggest decent comfort for a traditional sailing vessel. The operator is Le Rotte di Portolano, an Italian company, so this likely operates in Italian waters, possibly around the Aeolian Islands themselves (excellent destination, by the way).

Before you commit: Contact Le Rotte di Portolano directly and ask for the boat's actual build year, exact base port, current availability, and a proper terms sheet with deposit details. A zero deposit and missing specs usually mean the listing needs updating, not that it's a bargain.

Get clarity first: Once you have confirmed details, a 26m gulet is great value for groups of 8, 12 exploring Sicily or the Tyrrhenian coast. Just make sure you're comparing apples to apples with other gulets in that region before deciding.

The marina & destination

Based at Porto Santa Maria Maggiore, in Milazzo, Italy. Aeolian Island Cabin 3 is operated by Le Rotte di Portolano.

Why this is a great starting point

Porto Santa Maria Maggiore in Milazzo sits on Sicily's northeast coast, offering immediate access to the Aeolian Islands; week one typically involves sailing to Lipari, Vulcano, and Salina, each reached in 2-4 hours depending on conditions. The sheltered anchorages and volcanic landscapes of these islands provide excellent swimming and hiking, while the Tyrrhenian Sea's summer thermal winds favour east-northeast sailing in this region. From Milazzo, you can also reach the Messina Strait and venture toward Calabria on the Italian mainland, giving you the option of longer crossings if conditions permit.

Can Aeolian Island Cabin 3 be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Aeolian Island Cabin 3 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 Aeolian Island Cabin 3?

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.
