SailChecker Expert View

Who it suits: Riptide is ideal for groups of up to six looking for a relaxed motorboat experience without the learning curve of sailing. She's perfect if you want to focus on cruising, exploring, and comfort rather than hands-on seamanship.

Standout features: Three cabins across 17.7 metres gives reasonable private space for a group, and the onboard generator, ice maker, and fridge mean you can live comfortably without constantly hunting for supplies. The included dinghy is genuinely useful for exploring shallow anchorages and remote beaches.

Value consideration: At 30+ years old, Riptide is honest value if you're budget-conscious and don't mind vintage charm—but do factor potential mechanical surprises into your planning. The €2,000 deposit is refreshingly low, which suggests a relaxed operator.

One honest note: With no base location listed in your data, I can't advise on airport access or regional logistics—I'd confirm charter location and travel time from your nearest international hub before committing, especially if you're flying long-haul from the US or UK.

Frequently asked questions
Can Riptide be rented with or without a skipper?
You can charter Riptide 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 Riptide?
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.
