SailChecker Expert View
I appreciate you sending this over, but I need to flag that the listing is missing some critical information that would help me give you a proper assessment.
What's missing: There's no charter base location listed, which is essential, I can't advise on airport transfers, flight connections, or whether this suits your plans without knowing where "Samba" is based. The equipment list is also blank, so I can't comment on what's actually onboard or how well-equipped she is for your needs.
What I can see: This is a 2023 motor boat, so she's brand new. At 12.1 metres with just one cabin (2 berths), she's clearly built for couples or small groups who want intimacy rather than space, perfect if you're after a romantic getaway rather than a party boat.
Next steps: Drop me the charter base location and a full equipment list, and I'll give you honest feedback on value, suitability, and whether the €0 deposit is genuinely as good as it sounds (spoiler: deposits are rarely zero without a catch). Once I've got those details, I can tell you if Samba makes sense for your trip.

The marina & destination
Based at Porto Mirabello, in La Spezia, Italy. Samba is operated by Velamica.
Viale Italia
Porto Mirabello in La Spezia sits at the gateway to Cinque Terre and the Portovenere coast, making it ideal for exploring the dramatic rocky inlets and small harbours of the Liguria region within 10-15 nautical miles. Week 1 typically involves day-sailing north to Portovenere and the islands of Palmaria, Tino and Tinetto, or south along the Cinque Terre coastline with its steep cliffs and protected anchorages. The prevailing northwesterly Mistral winds provide reliable sailing in summer, though the shelter of the Gulf of La Spezia itself offers a good lee for boats new to the area.
