SailChecker Expert View

Perfect for smaller groups The Oceanis 38.1 is an excellent choice if you're chartering with 4-6 people—three cabins sleep eight in theory, but realistically you'll want fewer bodies for comfort. At 11.5 metres, this boat is nimble and forgiving for mixed-ability crews, which makes it ideal if not everyone's a seasoned sailor.

Smart cruising credentials Solar panels, bow thruster, and a sprayhood mean you get genuine comfort features rather than just the basics. The chart plotter mounted in the cockpit is genuinely useful for navigation, and having a dinghy included is a real bonus—many charters charge extra for that privilege.

Excellent value proposition At €1,446 per week with only a €1,500 deposit, this boat punches well above its weight for price. Asta Yachting's perfect 5-star rating across five reviews is encouraging, and you're getting a relatively modern 2017 build, not a tired older vessel.

One practical note We don't have the charter base location listed here, so factor in airport transfers and flight connections when budgeting your trip—most international charterers should confirm the base before booking so you can plan your routing sensibly.

Frequently asked questions
Can AURA be rented with or without a skipper?
You can charter AURA 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 AURA?
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.
