SailChecker Expert View
Smart mid-sized cruiser The Hanse 400 "Mara" suits couples and small families who want comfortable cruising without the complexity of a larger boat. At 12.1m with three cabins and a decent kit, it punches above its weight for relaxed week-long explorations.
Well-equipped essentials Electric winches and a bow thruster make handling genuinely easier, while the autopilot and chart plotter keep navigation straightforward. The heating and bimini give you flexibility across seasons, and thoughtful touches like the coffee maker and decent galley setup mean you won't feel like you're roughing it.
Solid value proposition For a 2011 boat with this spec and a modest €1,500 deposit, you're getting reliable entry-level cruising credentials at a fair daily rate. The equipment list suggests decent maintenance rather than cutting corners.
One practical note The charter base information isn't listed here, which matters when you're flying long-haul to reach it—you'll want to confirm location, airport proximity, and whether Ace Yachting handles transfers smoothly before booking. That said, this is exactly the kind of unpretentious boat that tends to deliver real holiday value.

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