The charter fee covers the yacht, standard equipment, and insurance. Cleaning, tourist tax, and any optional extras (skipper, paddle board, etc.) are billed at the base — we confirm the full breakdown when you request a quote.
Charter pricing is famously opaque. Here's everything the operator will charge — mandatory items paid at the base, plus optional add-ons you can opt into.
Practical weekender choice This 2025 Merry Fisher is ideal for groups of up to 8 who want straightforward coastal cruising without the complexity of sailing. The compact 10.5m length makes it nimble enough for exploring smaller harbours and anchorages, while the three cabins handle most family or small-group configurations comfortably.
Smart comfort features The teak cockpit and swimming platform are genuine plusses for Mediterranean or warm-water cruising, you'll actually use them. The bow thruster, autopilot, and modern chart plotter take the stress out of manoeuvring and passage-making, and a generator means air-con and proper creature comforts aren't negotiable.
Value leans fair At 2025 and well-equipped, you're paying for newness and reliability rather than a bargain. The €3,000 deposit is reasonable, but check the weekly rate against comparable Beneteau or Prestige models in the same size range, you may find better value elsewhere, or this could be competitive depending on the base location and seasonality.
One honest note Italiamare's base location isn't specified here, which matters for your flight logistics. Confirm it's near a major European hub (Barcelona, Rome, Split) with decent connections from your side of the Atlantic, a 3-hour drive to a quiet boatyard isn't ideal when you've flown 8 hours to get there.

Based at Baia di Bacoli, in Bacoli NA, Italy. Hera II is operated by Italiamare.
Via Molo di Baia
Baia di Bacoli sits on the northern shore of the Bay of Naples, offering quick access to the Campania coast's most protected anchorages and islands. Week 1 typically sees charters heading south to Procida and Ischia (2-3 hours sailing), then east along the Amalfi Coast to Positano and Ravello, with reliable southwesterly winds favoring this route in summer. The bay itself provides sheltered conditions for crews newer to Mediterranean sailing, while nearby Portofino and the Cinque Terre coastline remain within easy reach for longer charters.
