Who it suits This 2023 Oceanis 40.1 is ideal for couples or small families (up to 6) wanting a modern, well-equipped sailing experience without the hassle of an older boat. The three cabins and six berths make it comfortable for two couples or a family with kids, while the 12.4-metre size is manageable for sailors with basic-to-intermediate skills.

Standout features First Touch comes genuinely ready to explore: you've got a bow thruster for tight anchorages, solar panels for energy independence, snorkeling gear already aboard, and even a stand-up paddleboard. The cockpit layout with chart plotter, autopilot, and shade (sprayhood and bimini) means you can actually relax while sailing, and Wi-Fi keeps you connected if needed.

Strong value proposition Istion Yachting's 5-star rating across 12 reviews speaks volumes about their maintenance and support standards. A 2023 build means everything should feel fresh and reliable, which justifies the charter cost for a worry-free holiday, the €2,000 deposit is reasonable for this spec.

One honest note The charter base location isn't shown in your data, so you'll need to confirm airport proximity and transfer logistics with Istion directly. Depending where this boat is based, getting there from the US or Northern Europe could mean a connecting flight, worth checking before committing.

Can First Touch be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter First Touch 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 First Touch?

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.
