SailChecker Expert View

Perfect for groups The Santa Maria is a solid choice for families or small groups of up to 8 people seeking a relaxed gulet experience. With 4 cabins and proper amenities like air conditioning and Wi-Fi, she ticks the boxes for a comfortable week away without breaking the bank.

Standout strengths You're getting a well-equipped vessel with snorkeling gear included, teak decking for that authentic gulet feel, and a zero deposit requirement, which is genuinely helpful for international travelers managing upfront costs. The dinghy access means proper exploration of anchorages and hidden coves rather than staying tied to ports.

Honest value angle At 23.9 meters with 2008 build year, this is mid-range gulet pricing territory, and the package looks fair if the daily rate reflects her age and condition. The operator is 4U Yachting, a reputable Turkish charter company, so you should expect professional service and maintenance standards.

Missing the full picture We don't have the base location listed, which matters quite a bit for your travel logistics, Turkish Riviera gulets are typically based in Göcek, Bodrum, or Marmaris, each with different flight connections from the US and UK. I'd recommend checking directly with 4U Yachting on where she's berthed so you can plan your airport transfers and onward travel properly.

The marina & destination

Based at Selimiye, in Selimiye, Turkey. Santa Maria is operated by 4U Yachting.

Why this is a great starting point

Selimiye sits on Bozburun Peninsula in southwest Turkey, offering immediate access to the pine-forested bays and Greek island approaches of the Aegean. Week 1 typically sees you exploring nearby anchorages around Datca and Rhodes, with moderate northerly winds (the Etesian) providing reliable sailing toward the Dodecanese. The marina works well as a base for sailors wanting shallow-draft exploration and quiet overnight stops before committing to longer passages across open water.

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