SailChecker Expert View

Perfect for larger groups. El Grande's six-cabin layout sleeps up to 12, making it an excellent choice for extended families or friends chartering together—you'll rarely find this much comfortable accommodation on a 15.6-metre yacht. The 2019 Hanse build quality is reliable and well-regarded for easy handling.

Smart modern amenities. Solar panels, bow thruster, and a chart plotter in the cockpit mean less fussing with basics and more time enjoying yourselves; the snorkeling kit is a nice touch for Mediterranean exploration. Electric toilet and dual refrigeration show the owner has thought about comfort on longer trips.

Solid value equation. At €5,780 per week with zero deposit required, you're looking at roughly €480 per person for a week-long charter if you fill all 12 berths—genuinely competitive for a modern, well-equipped boat of this size. Istion's perfect 5-star rating across 12 reviews speaks to consistent delivery.

One practical note: Fitting 12 people means the cabin layout will feel snug rather than luxurious, so this works best if your group is genuinely comfortable sharing quarters and doesn't expect the space of a mega-yacht. Check the base location and nearest international airport before booking to factor in transfer time from your long-haul flight.

The marina & destination

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