Perfect for couples and small families. The Oceanis 38.1 is an excellent mid-sized cruiser that suits 2, 4 people comfortably, though it can sleep 6 if you're cosy with friends. The 2022 build means everything is modern and reliable, ideal if you want a hassle-free week without worrying about mechanical surprises.

Well-equipped for comfort. This boat ticks the right boxes: teak cockpit, bimini, sprayhood, and cockpit cushions make cruising genuinely pleasant rather than a survival exercise. The autopilot is a genuine timesaver on longer passages, and the dinghy opens up exploring quieter anchorages away from the main bases.

Solid value proposition. At this size and age, you're getting a capable, efficient boat without paying superyacht premiums, the €2,500 deposit is reasonable. Fuel and maintenance costs on a boat this size won't drain your budget either, making it accessible for quality week-long charters.

One honest note: We don't have the charter base location listed, which matters, flight connections and transfer times vary hugely across the Mediterranean and Atlantic islands. Once you confirm where VITA is based, we can advise whether it's a convenient hub for your international travel.

The marina & destination

Based at Port Olimpic, in Barcelona, Spain. VITA is operated by BeCharter.

Edifici de Capitania Moll de Xaloc

Why this is a great starting point

Port Olimpic sits within Barcelona's urban waterfront, putting you within easy reach of the Catalan coast's sheltered bays and islands. Week 1 typically focuses on southbound sailing toward Sitges and the Garraf massif, or northbound toward Matarò; both routes work well in the consistent thermal winds that build through summer afternoons. The marina offers good provisioning and a protected berth, though you'll want to leave early in the day to maximize fair-weather sailing windows before returning to more crowded anchorages.

Can VITA be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter VITA 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 VITA?

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.
