Not a crewed yacht: this boat charters without a professional crew.

No crewed season rates for this yacht.

No water toys or diving listed for this yacht.

Cabin charter (book a single cabin) is not offered for this yacht.

Who It Suits. This is a small day boat, not an overnight charter, so it's ideal for groups wanting a few hours of cruising, water sports, or exploring nearby coves without committing to a full week's accommodation elsewhere. Best for up to 4-6 people looking for a flexible, low-cost water experience.

What Stands Out. At 6 metres with an open layout, the Nuva is nimble and fuel-efficient, perfect for navigating Galicia's coastal inlets and river mouths; the 2023 build means systems are current. Weekly rates from €1100 are genuinely competitive for a modern powered vessel in this size range.

Value For Money. You're paying for simplicity and convenience rather than luxury, which is fair at this price point. The €1500 deposit is reasonable, though clarify fuel, insurance, and whether a skipper is included; day-boat economics can shift quickly if those aren't transparent upfront.

One Real Caveat. Zero overnight berths means this won't work if you're hoping to sleep aboard or do multi-day cruising; make sure your plan genuinely fits a day-hire model before booking, especially if you've travelled from overseas to Vigo.

Why this is a great starting point

Real Club Nautico de Vigo sits at the mouth of Spain's Ría de Vigo, giving you immediate access to the Galician rias system; week one typically involves exploring the dramatic granite coastline and sheltered anchorages of the neighbouring Ría de Pontevedra and Ría de Arousa, with light to moderate winds from the northwest. The marina serves as an excellent base for heading north toward the Cíes Islands or south along the Portuguese coast toward the Douro estuary, depending on your wind preference. Turquoise water, steep-sided anchorages, and small fishing villages within easy sailing distance make this a practical stepping-off point for first-week exploration of one of Europe's most underrated cruising grounds.

Location: Real Club Nautico de Vigo · Spain
Check-in: Flexible from 17:00. Alternative times can usually be agreed with the operator at booking.
Check-out: By 09:00 on the return day. Empty the boat, refuel if required, then a 30-minute handover with the base manager.
Licences: Spanish PER, RYA Day Skipper, or ICC accepted plus VHF licence. The Balearics enforce more strictly than the mainland coast — bring originals, not photocopies.
Security deposit: €1,500 · held at base by card swipe or cash. Refunded after handover provided the boat and inventory are returned undamaged.
Cancellation: Cancellation terms are operator-specific and disclosed in the charter contract before payment. As a rule, most Mediterranean operators retain the full charter fee within 30 days of departure; we recommend charter cancellation insurance via a UK broker (typically 4-5% of the charter fee).

Can Sumba be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Sumba 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 Sumba?

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.

Bareboat or skippered — which suits our crew?

Bareboat is for crews with at least one experienced skipper (RYA Day Skipper / ICC level) plus a co-skipper, and a track record of similar passages. Skippered charters add a professional skipper for typically £150–£250 per day — recommended if anyone in your group is light on Mediterranean experience, if you want a relaxed week without responsibility, or if the area is new to you. You can also hire a hostess (cook + cabin help) on top.

Can we sail to a neighbouring country during the charter?

Sometimes, with the operator's written consent and the right paperwork. Common cross-borders: Croatia → Montenegro, Greece → Turkey, BVI → USVI. Most operators charge a one-off cruising-permit fee (typically €100–€300) and need 4–8 weeks' notice. Tell us at quote time and we'll arrange it — spontaneous border-crossing during the trip usually isn't allowed.

Do I need travel insurance on top of the charter insurance?

Yes. The yacht is insured by the operator for damage and third-party liability, but that doesn't cover you. Charter cancellation insurance (typically 4–5% of the charter fee) covers you if you have to cancel last-minute; standard travel insurance covers medical, flight, and personal-effects loss. We can recommend a UK broker that bundles both.

What happens if there's bad weather on the day?

For day-to-day weather you'll plan the week to avoid the worst — the Adriatic and Aegean have very predictable wind patterns. If a serious storm makes the start-day handover impossible, the operator delays check-in until conditions improve and refunds any lost days. The yacht itself is insured against weather damage, so you're not exposed.

Can I hold this yacht while I decide?

Yes — an option holds the yacht in your name for typically 48–72 hours at no cost. Useful if you're waiting on the rest of the crew to confirm, comparing it against another yacht, or sorting flights. Ask us when you enquire and we'll arrange the option with the operator.

We'll check live availability, apply any discounts, and come back within hours.
