Perfect for groups This 2024 Hanse 460 sleeps eight across four cabins, making it ideal for families or friends chartering together, especially if you're flying long-haul from the US or Northern Europe and want to split costs. The newer build quality and practical layout mean less faffing about and more time enjoying your holiday.

Smart cruising setup You're looking at a genuinely well-equipped boat: autopilot takes the strain on longer passages, the bow thruster makes tight anchorages manageable, and the water maker plus solar panels mean real independence from shore facilities. The bimini keeps the sun at bay during those Mediterranean lunches, while the dinghy opens up proper exploring beyond the main anchorages.

Solid value proposition For a modern four-cabin boat with this specification, the pricing sits fairly in the mid-range for bareboat charters in this class, the 2024 vintage and freshwater maker add genuine convenience that justifies the outlay. The €6,000 deposit is reasonable and manageable for a group split.

One practical note I'd confirm the charter base location directly with Arcadie Plaisance, as it isn't listed in your specs, knowing whether you're looking at a Mediterranean, Atlantic, or other European location will affect your flight routing and transfer logistics considerably.

The marina & destination

Based at Les Marines de Cogolin, in Cogolin, France. Astan is operated by Arcadie Plaisance.

36 Esplanade de la capitainerie

Why this is a great starting point

Les Marines de Cogolin sits in the central Var coast with immediate access to the Iles d'Hyeres and the sheltered waters between the mainland and Porquerolles; week one typically covers the island anchorages, small ports like Bormes-les-Mimosas, and the Giens Peninsula without pushing beyond the Mistral's influence zone. The marina works best for sailors comfortable with moderate winds and rocky coastline navigation, as the Provencal coast demands precision but rewards you with consistent sailing conditions and authentic Cote d'Azur villages. From here you can reach Lavandou, Cavalaire, and the quieter Maures foothills within 15-20 nautical miles, making it ideal for week-one exploration before deciding whether to push east towards Saint-Tropez or west towards the Porquerolles group.

Can Astan be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Astan 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 Astan?

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.
