BOWTHRUSTER

Perfect for couples or small families wanting a manageable sailboat without the hassle of a larger vessel. The Oceanis 35.1 is a proven design that's easy to handle, even for those with moderate sailing experience, making it ideal for exploratory cruising rather than racing.

Well-equipped cruiser with some genuinely useful features, the bow thruster and autopilot take real strain out of tight anchorages and longer passages, while the teak cockpit and bimini make time on deck genuinely comfortable. The sprayhood is a nice touch for shelter during less-than-perfect weather.

Solid value proposition assuming the charter rate is reasonable for the region and season. NSS Charter's 4.3/5 rating from 10 reviews suggests reliable, honest service, which matters when you're flying long-haul to pick up a boat you've never seen before.

One honest note: At 10.4 metres with 3 cabins and 8 berths, cabin space will feel cosy if you're actually sailing with that many people, better suited to 4-6 cruisers in comfort. Check the exact base location and confirm whether NSS provide decent pre-arrival support for international charterers unfamiliar with local conditions.

The marina & destination

Based at Marina Cala de' Medici, in Castiglioncello, Italy. Nodus is operated by NSS Charter.

Viale Trieste 142

Why this is a great starting point

Marina Cala de' Medici in Castiglioncello sits on the Tuscan coast with straightforward access to the Tyrrhenian Sea's central cruising grounds. Within a week you can comfortably reach the Elba Island archipelago to the south, the Gorgona and Capraia islands to the northwest, or work along the Tuscan mainland coast toward Portoferraio; the prevailing northwesterly winds (Maestrale) typically favour southbound passages. This is a solid base for mixed itineraries combining protected anchorages with open-water sailing.

Can Nodus be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Nodus 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 Nodus?

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.
