Ideal for small groups Te Fiti suits families or friends wanting a manageable bareboat experience without the complexity of larger yachts. With three cabins and room for eight, it's comfortable for couples or small crews who don't need luxury, just honest sailing.

Solid, unfussy boat The 2017 Oceanis 35 is a proven workhorse from Beneteau's popular cruising range, known for reliable handling and decent sea-keeping. That lazy jack rigging is genuinely useful for single-handed sail management, making life easier when you're shorthanded.

Fair charter value At this size and age, pricing should be competitive for Mediterranean bareboat chartering, though without seeing the weekly rate I can't fully assess value. The €4,160 deposit is reasonable and typical for this boat class.

One realistic caveat: Three cabins on 10.4 metres means snug quarters, don't expect sprawling cabins or standalone heads for each bunk. If your group values personal space or anyone gets seasick easily, this is genuinely tight in rough conditions. Beyond that, she's a dependable choice for hands-on sailing rather than floating-hotel comfort.

The marina & destination

Based at Marina Portorosa, in Furnari, Italy. Te Fiti is operated by Turistica Il Gabbiano.

Via Prestipaolo 7

Why this is a great starting point

Marina Portorosa sits on Sicily's north coast and offers immediate access to the Aeolian Islands, all reachable within a day's sail. Week 1 typically takes you through Lipari, Vulcano, and Salina, with consistent northwesterly winds making the return journey straightforward. The shallow, protected waters around the archipelago suit various boat sizes, and you can easily explore volcanic anchorages and small harbours before heading further east towards Messina Strait or west to Cefalù.

Can Te Fiti be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Te Fiti 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 Te Fiti?

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.
