SailChecker Expert View

Perfect for families The Neel 47 is an excellent choice if you're bringing extended family or friends, six cabins sleep ten people comfortably, and the catamaran's wide beam means genuinely spacious cabins rather than cramped bunks. The shallow draft also makes anchoring in Sardinia's beautiful coves effortless, even if you're not experienced sailors.

Modern, thoughtful design Built in 2023, this yacht comes equipped with solar panels, electric toilets, and electric winches, features that make life aboard genuinely easier, especially in the Mediterranean heat. The teak cockpit, barbecue grill, and generous cushioning suggest the builder prioritised comfort and entertaining, which matters on longer charters.

Fair value, fair concerns The €4,500 deposit is reasonable for a six-cabin catamaran, and Sardinia is a brilliant cruising ground with excellent airport connections (Olbia airport is straightforward from most European hubs). However, the operator's 3.3/5 rating from 19 reviews is a yellow flag, read recent feedback carefully before booking, particularly around maintenance standards and check-in processes.

One honest caveat The mixed reviews suggest consistency issues with Yachting in Sardinia's service. Request references from recent charters and confirm exactly what's included in your package, especially regarding provisioning and crew briefings, before you commit.

The marina & destination

Based at Punta Nuraghe, in Porto Rotondo, Italy. Matana is operated by Yachting in Sardinia.

Via G. Bonanno

Why this is a great starting point

Punta Nuraghe in Porto Rotondo sits on the northeast coast of Sardinia, placing you within easy reach of the Maddalena archipelago and the island-studded waters north toward Corsica. Week one typically takes you through sheltered granite-bound anchorages, with the Strait of Bonifacio offering strong northwesterlies that suit confident sailors; lighter winds and shorter hops suit those wanting gentler conditions in the first week. The marina itself provides good provisioning and repair facilities for boats heading into these granite-island cruising grounds.

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