Great starter boat The Oceanis 34 is a solid choice for families or small groups new to sailing or wanting a relaxed bareboat experience. At 10.3 metres, she's manageable for less experienced crews yet comfortable enough for a proper week away with 3 cabins sleeping 6.

Well-equipped for cruising BLU comes with the essentials that matter: autopilot, radar, chart plotter, and a sprayhood make sailing easier and safer, while the bimini keeps you shaded in warmer waters. The teak cockpit is a lovely touch that'll age beautifully, and the dinghy means you can explore anchorages properly.

Sensible value proposition A €2,000 deposit is reasonable and suggests competitive daily rates for this boat class. You're getting a proven 2009 design that's forgiving to sail, so you won't be paying premium money for a new flagship, smart if you're testing the waters before committing to larger charters.

One practical note The charter operator (Sea Walker) isn't showing a location here, so confirm the base before booking, flight times and ground transfers can vary wildly depending whether you're flying into Greece, the Med, or Croatia. Ask about their handover process and English-speaking support, especially if your crew is new to bareboat sailing.

The marina & destination

Based at Punta Ala, in Punta Ala, Italy. BLU is operated by Sea Walker.

Why this is a great starting point

Punta Ala on Tuscany's coast offers straightforward access to the Tuscan Archipelago, with Elba Island and the smaller islands of Giglio and Giannutri within a day's sail. Week 1 typically involves island-hopping south through protected anchorages with moderate summer winds from the northwest, giving new arrivals time to find their rhythm before longer passages. The marina itself provides good facilities and a sheltered base for those wanting to explore this historically rich stretch of coast without committing to the open Tyrrhenian Sea immediately.

Can BLU be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter BLU 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 BLU?

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.
