SailChecker Expert View

Solid mid-range cruiser The Oceanis 38 is a proven, comfortable design that suits couples and small families wanting accessible sailing without excessive complexity. At 11.5 metres with three cabins and eight berths, you get decent space for mixed-ability groups, though eight would be genuinely snug for a week-long cruise.

Well-equipped for comfort Blue Trend has kitted this 2016 boat sensibly: autopilot and cockpit chart plotter mean less physical strain, the bow thruster helps single-handed manoeuvres, and creature comforts like refrigeration, electric toilet, and a proper teak cockpit are real-world nice-to-haves. The swimming platform and sprayhood justify the asking price.

Decent value proposition At a €3,000 deposit, this feels fairly priced for a well-maintained boat in that age bracket with practical systems already onboard. You're not paying premium rates for a flashy newer yacht, but you're getting a genuinely capable vessel.

One honest note You'll want to confirm the exact charter base location before booking—the operator information is there but the base details aren't shown in what I can see. That matters for your long-haul flight logistics and whether ground transfers work smoothly.

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