Perfect starter cruiser The Oceanis 38 "Folie" is an excellent choice if you're new to bareboat sailing or want a forgiving, manageable boat for a mixed-ability crew. At 11.5 metres, she's large enough to sleep eight comfortably across three cabins, but small enough that she won't feel overwhelming to handle, ideal for families or groups taking turns at the helm.

Reliable, proven design Beneteau's Oceanis 38 is a workhorse: well-balanced, responsive, and built to a solid standard that's stood the test of time since 2016. You'll find her easy to sail single-handed if needed, with good visibility and intuitive systems, no fiddly surprises on this classic.

Strong value proposition A €2,000 deposit on a three-cabin boat of this pedigree suggests competitive daily rates; you're getting a proven platform without paying for flashy extras or cutting-edge gadgetry. For international guests flying long-haul to charter, this is the kind of boat that delivers straightforward pleasure without hidden complications.

One practical note We don't have the charter base location in your details, so we can't advise on airport transfer times or local logistics, but do confirm that with Blue Dream when you book, especially if you're coordinating international flights or connections.

The marina & destination

Based at Marina di Procida, in Procida, Italy. Folie is operated by Blue Dream Charter & Service.

Via Roma 1

Why this is a great starting point

Marina di Procida sits on the northern coast of the island and offers straightforward access to the Bay of Naples cruising grounds; week one typically covers the Phlegraean Islands (Vivara, Procida's neighbour) and runs south to Ischia or Capri, all within 15-25 nautical miles. The marina works well for crews wanting gentle starts because the Tyrrhenian winds funnel predictably through the bay, and you can reach sheltered anchorages and small fishing villages without long offshore passages. From here you can also push further south towards the Amalfi Coast if conditions allow, giving flexibility for different ability levels.

Can Folie be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Folie 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 Folie?

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.
