Fuel not included

Not suitable for charter This 5.8-meter day boat has no sleeping accommodation whatsoever, zero cabins and zero berths, so it's simply not viable as a charter yacht for overnight trips. If you're flying internationally to reach the base, this won't work for a proper holiday.

Daytrip potential only Tortuga is a basic open motorboat with a bimini top for sun protection, designed for short recreational outings rather than cruising. It's the kind of vessel you'd use for a few hours of local boating, not a multi-day escape.

Skip this listing Without knowing the base location or daily rates, we can't assess value, but frankly, chartering a tiny day boat doesn't make sense for most SailChecker clients who've invested time and expense to fly long-haul. There's no deposit required, which is unusual and suggests this may not even be actively listed for charter.

The marina & destination

Based at Torre Canne, in Torre Canne, Italy. Tortuga is operated by Marco Carani Nautica.

Why this is a great starting point

Torre Canne sits on Puglia's Adriatic coast, offering straightforward access to the Gargano Peninsula and the Tremiti Islands within a day's sail; week one typically involves cruising north to explore dramatic limestone cliffs and anchorages around Monte Sant'Angelo, or heading south toward the shallow, island-dotted waters of the Laghi Alimini. The marina works best for sailors comfortable with variable winds and interested in quieter, less-crowded Italian cruising than the Tyrrhenian or Aeolian options; prevailing summer thermals tend northwesterly, pushing you naturally toward the Adriatic's northern reaches. Base your first week on short hops between small fishing ports and protected bays rather than ambitious mileage.

Can Tortuga be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Tortuga 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 Tortuga?

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.
