Isla 40 | Blue Orion

Q: Can Blue Orion be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Blue Orion 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.

Q: What sailing licence do I need to charter Blue Orion?

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.

Q: 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.

Q: 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.

Q: 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.

Q: 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.

Q: 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.

Q: 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.

Q: 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.

Ideal for families The Blue Orion is a solid choice for groups of 4–6 people wanting comfort without breaking the bank. The four cabins and catamaran design mean plenty of space and stability, which families and less experienced sailors really appreciate.

Well-equipped modern cat Built in 2022, this boat ticks the right boxes: air conditioning, solar panels with an inverter, electric toilet, and a generator mean you can cruise comfortably without constantly running the engine. The included dinghy and outboard are genuinely useful for exploring anchorages and getting ashore.

Value-conscious choice A €4,000 deposit is reasonable for a modern 40-footer, and catamarans offer excellent space-to-cost ratio compared to monohulls of similar length. You're getting recent build quality and practical systems that will keep operating costs down during your charter.

Missing key details The listing doesn't specify the charter base location—that's crucial for understanding flight times and logistics from the UK or US. Before booking, confirm the exact destination, weekly rates, insurance terms, and whether you need an RYA qualification or skipper hire, as these can significantly impact your total cost.
