Ideal for families The Aurora suits families or small groups wanting a comfortable, easy-to-manage sailing yacht without sacrificing modern conveniences. Three cabins sleep up to eight, making it perfect for a multi-generational escape or two couples cruising together.

Standout features This 2024 Oceanis is genuinely well-equipped: the bow thruster makes tight anchorages hassle-free, the teak cockpit with cushions and bimini keeps you comfortable in sun or spray, and thoughtful extras like the coffee maker and chart plotter in the cockpit show this isn't a bare-bones boat. The lazy bag is a real back-saver when you're tired.

Value and confidence Spartivento's 4.8-star rating across 14 reviews speaks volumes, this operator clearly maintains boats and looks after charterers. A €3,000 deposit is reasonable, and a brand-new Oceanis 37 in the Comfort line typically offers excellent value for Mediterranean or Atlantic cruising from a major base.

One practical note The base location isn't listed, so confirm your international flight connections and airport transfer time before booking, that matters when you're coordinating long-haul travel from the US or UK.

The marina & destination

Based at Capo d'Orlando Marina, in Capo d'Orlando, Italy. Aurora - Comfort line is operated by Spartivento.

Contrada S. Gregorio

Why this is a great starting point

Capo d'Orlando Marina sits on Sicily's north coast, offering immediate access to the Tyrrhenian Sea and the Aeolian Islands; week one typically involves motor-sailing or light reaching to Lipari, Vulcano, and Salina, with the prevailing northwesterlies allowing comfortable passages of 15-25 nautical miles between anchorages. The marina provides a practical base for exploring protected anchorages around Panarea and Stromboli before returning westward along the Sicilian coast toward the Cefalù area, giving you a mix of overnight anchorages, small harbors, and volcanic scenery without long open-water passages.

Can Aurora - Comfort line be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Aurora - Comfort line 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 Aurora - Comfort line?

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.
