Maxus 28 Standard | Grand Patience

Q: Can Grand Patience be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Grand Patience 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 Grand Patience?

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 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.

Perfect for couples The Grand Patience is an ideal choice for two people who want simplicity and value on the water. At 8.5 metres with just 2 cabins, this 2013 Maxus 28 keeps things intimate and easy to manage.

Smart practical features Solar panels and a fridge mean you can cruise comfortably without constant engine running, and the lazy bag makes sail handling genuinely relaxed. You get a dinghy and outboard included, which opens up anchorages and remote beaches that larger charter fleets can't access.

Excellent value proposition At €1,526 per week with only a €3,000 deposit, this is genuinely competitive pricing for a equipped cruising sailboat in Europe. You're paying for a boat that works, not a glossy showpiece.

Crew space reality check Fair warning: if you're thinking of bringing four friends, the two-cabin layout will feel tight quickly—those 6 berths assume flexible sleeping arrangements. Loc Voile Armor operates from France (exact base location wasn't specified), so confirm airport transfers and English-language support before booking, especially if you're arriving from the US or UK and need seamless logistics.
