SailChecker Expert View

Perfect starter choice The Oceanis 38.1 is ideal for families or small groups wanting a modern, manageable sailing yacht without overwhelming complexity. At 11.6 metres, she's nimble enough for less experienced crews but spacious enough to sleep eight comfortably across three cabins.

Well-equipped modern build As a 2024 model, Pura Vida comes with current gear including a lazy jack system—a genuinely useful feature that makes sail handling far easier and safer for mixed-ability crews. You're getting a reliable, low-maintenance boat from one of sailing's most trusted manufacturers.

Reasonable deposit, fair pricing The €4,160 deposit sits well within standard industry practice for this boat class and suggests competitive weekly rates through Turistica Il Gabbiano. This operator appears well-established, which typically means solid maintenance and professional support during your charter.

One practical note The base location isn't listed in your data, so confirm flight connections and transfer logistics before booking—international travellers crossing from the US or northern Europe will want to know if you're looking at a 2-hour drive or something longer from the nearest airport.

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