Perfect for families The Oceanis 38.1 is an excellent choice if you're flying in from North America or continental Europe with a small family or two couples. Three cabins sleeping six, combined with user-friendly handling and modern 2019 build quality, make this a genuinely comfortable week afloat without the learning curve of a larger vessel.

Smart practical touches The bow thruster and autopilot transform everyday sailing, they're not luxuries, they're real convenience features that reduce fatigue on longer passages. Teak cockpit, bimini, and generous cushions mean you'll actually spend time outside enjoying the Med or Atlantic, and the holding tank is essential kit that shows the operator knows what cruising families need.

Solid value proposition At €3,100 per week with a modest €2,500 deposit, this sits in the sweet spot for quality without premium pricing. You're getting a reliable Beneteau platform with proper spec'd-out cruising gear, not a bare-bones rental.

One honest note The base location isn't shown in your listing, which matters, you'll need to confirm airport proximity and whether BeCharter offers transfer logistics from your international arrival point. Always worth asking them directly about English-speaking crew briefing too, especially if sailing experience varies in your group.

The marina & destination

Based at Marina Palma Cuarentena, in Palma de Mallorca, Spain. BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY is operated by BeCharter.

Why this is a great starting point

Marina Palma Cuarentena sits in the heart of Palma's old harbour, putting you within walking distance of the old town and excellent provisioning, though space is limited and it can be crowded in peak season. Week 1 typically takes you south along Mallorca's east coast to Felanitx and Santanyí, or north to the Tramuntana anchorages at Deià and Sóller; the prevailing north-westerly wind makes the northern route the easier initial passage. The bay of Palma itself offers sheltered training waters if you're taking time to familiarise yourself with the boat before heading further afield.

Can BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY 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 BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY?

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.
