Perfect for small groups. Papillon works brilliantly for 4–6 friends or a couple with teenage kids who want genuine sailing without sacrificing comfort. The three cabins and modest 6-berth capacity mean everyone gets reasonable personal space on a 14-metre yacht.

Well-equipped and thoughtful. This boat ticks the boxes that matter: electric winches and bow thruster reduce physical effort, air conditioning and solar panels handle creature comforts, and the lazy jacks plus bimini show an owner who understands Mediterranean sailing. The autopilot is a real asset for longer passages.

Solid value proposition. A 2013 Italia Yachts 13.98 with this specification—especially the electric winches and bow thruster—offers good bang for money in the three-cabin market. The €3,500 deposit is reasonable for a vessel this size.

One honest note: The operator and base location aren't listed in your data, so I can't advise on airport transfers, local English-speaking support, or flight connections from your home country. Before booking, confirm the base location directly with MARINA'S SERVICE and factor in your travel logistics from the nearest international airport.

The marina & destination

Based at Marina Cala de' Medici, in Castiglioncello, Italy. Papillon is operated by MARINA'S SERVICE.

Viale Trieste 142

Can Papillon be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Papillon 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 Papillon?

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.
