SailChecker Expert View
Perfect for groups Charles is a fantastic choice if you're bringing 8–12 people together for a sailing holiday. The six cabins and 12 berths make it one of the few 15.6m yachts that genuinely sleeps larger groups without cramped compromise—ideal when you're splitting costs among friends or family flying in from different continents.
Well-equipped modern yacht This 2023 Hanse 508 ticks all the boxes: bow thruster and autopilot for easy handling, solar panels plus multiple fridges for extended comfort, and practical touches like a bimini, sprayhood, and snorkeling gear included. The Wi-Fi, chart plotters, and barbecue suggest the owner knows what charter guests actually want on the water.
Strong operator backing Hermes Yachting has a perfect 5/5 rating across 21 reviews, which speaks volumes about maintenance standards and customer service. A brand-new, well-reviewed yacht minimises surprises and downtime—crucial when you've coordinated international travel and tight schedules.
One small note With no charter base listed in your data, confirm exact location and transfer logistics with Hermes before booking; international guests need to know whether it's within an hour of a major airport. The €1,000 deposit is reasonable, but clarify what's included in the charter rate versus what extras (fuel, provisioning, mooring) might add up.

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