Perfect for groups Opera Prima is ideal if you're bringing a larger party, those 6 cabins and 12 berths mean families or friends can charter together without splitting across multiple boats. The catamaran design gives you stability and plenty of deck space, which groups really appreciate.

Solid 2015 build You're getting a well-equipped Lagoon 450 with genuinely useful kit: water maker for extended cruising, generator and inverter for comfort, air conditioning in the cabins, plus dinghy and SUP for exploring. These aren't extras, they're the features that make longer charters genuinely liveable for a dozen people.

Smart value proposition At €3,000 deposit, this feels reasonable for a boat of this size and specification, especially if the weekly rate is competitive. You're paying for a proper cruising platform, not a bare bones option, which matters when you've got multiple families on board.

One thing to know The listing doesn't specify the charter base location or operator contact details clearly, you'll want to confirm where Opera Prima is moored before booking, as that affects your flight logistics and whether you're looking at a convenient Mediterranean or Caribbean base for international guests.

The marina & destination

Based at Capo d'Orlando Marina, in Capo d'Orlando, Italy. Opera Prima is operated by Dolcevita Sailing.

Contrada S. Gregorio

Why this is a great starting point

Capo d'Orlando Marina sits on Sicily's north coast, offering immediate access to the Tyrrhenian Sea and the Aeolian Islands; week one typically involves motor-sailing or light reaching to Lipari, Vulcano, and Salina, with the prevailing northwesterlies allowing comfortable passages of 15-25 nautical miles between anchorages. The marina provides a practical base for exploring protected anchorages around Panarea and Stromboli before returning westward along the Sicilian coast toward the Cefalù area, giving you a mix of overnight anchorages, small harbors, and volcanic scenery without long open-water passages.

Can Opera Prima be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Opera Prima 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 Opera Prima?

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.
