Perfect for groups Sundial is an excellent choice if you're bringing a larger party, nine cabins sleep up to 18, making it ideal for family reunions or friend groups wanting to explore together without splitting costs across multiple vessels. The 23.5-metre gulet size is manageable for a crew to handle while still offering genuine comfort and space.

Solid classic features You're getting the essentials: air conditioning throughout, generator backup, and modest entertainment (TV/DVD). As a 1992 gulet, she has the authentic character that many clients love about this iconic Turkish vessel type, with that timeless wooden-hull charm rather than modern fiberglass.

Strong value proposition A €0 deposit is genuinely unusual and signals good value, you're not tying up capital upfront. For a 9-cabin gulet in the popular Mediterranean gulet circuit, this pricing suggests competitive rates, especially if you're splitting the weekly fee across a full group.

One practical note We don't have the charter base location listed here, so you'll want to confirm where she's moored, this matters significantly for your international flight logistics and whether transfers are straightforward from major European hubs. Once you know the base, we can advise on typical connection times from the UK or US.

The marina & destination

Based at Porto Santa Maria Maggiore, in Milazzo, Italy. Sundial is operated by Marvero.

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 Sundial be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Sundial 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 Sundial?

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.

We'll check live availability, apply any discounts, and come back within hours.
