SailChecker Expert View
Perfect for larger groups. The Hanse 508 sleeps up to 12 across six cabins, making it ideal if you're chartering with family or friends—rare to find this much comfortable berth space on a 15.6-metre yacht. You'll have genuine privacy and room to spread out, which matters on a week-long voyage.
Well-equipped and modern. This 2020 build ticks all the boxes: autopilot and chart plotter for navigation ease, bow thruster for tight anchorages, electric toilet, and a swimming platform with bimini for lounging between sails. The refrigerator means you can keep provisions properly and reduce provisioning runs ashore.
Solid value proposition. With MG Yachts holding a perfect 5-star rating and only a €3,500 deposit required, you're looking at transparent, confident pricing from an operator who stands behind their fleet. For a six-cabin cruiser with this spec, the financial terms feel fair.
Base location unclear. The charter base isn't specified in the listing, which matters when you're booking from overseas—you'll need to confirm flight connections, transfer time from airport, and whether MG Yachts arranges pickups. Once you've sorted that logistically, this boat delivers genuine value for a large-group sailing holiday.

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