About this yacht
Watermaker
SailChecker Expert View

Modern family cruiser This 2024 Oceanis 40.1 is an excellent choice if you're after a contemporary sailboat that handles easily with four comfortable cabins sleeping eight. It's ideal for families or small groups wanting to explore at a relaxed pace without constantly fiddling with complicated systems.

Well-equipped setup You're getting solid kit here, snorkeling gear, a dinghy for exploring anchorages, plus a water maker and coffee maker for creature comforts during longer passages. These additions show the owner understands what modern charterers actually want onboard.

Fair pricing question At €4,000 deposit with a new boat in this size category, the overall value depends entirely on the weekly rate, which isn't shown here. Without that figure, it's hard to judge whether you're getting competitive pricing versus other 40-footers in the same season and location.

Operator caveat RM Croisieres has a 3.5/5 rating based on just two reviews, which is quite limited feedback to assess reliability and service quality. Before committing, I'd recommend asking SailChecker directly for more detail on their track record, or requesting references from recent clients, especially important when flying internationally to meet a boat.

The marina & destination

Based at Le Marin, in Martinique, Martinique. Classic is operated by RM Croisieres.

Why this is a great starting point

Le Marin sits on Martinique's south coast and serves as the perfect launch point for exploring the southern Caribbean's best-protected anchorages; you can reach Diamond Rock, the Grenadines, and St. Lucia's pitons within 2-3 days of sailing. The trade winds blow consistently from the east, making week one ideal for island-hopping down to Bequia and Mustique before stronger winds develop mid-week. The marina itself offers good facilities and provisioning, with most charter yachts departing here to take advantage of the sheltered Windward Islands passage to the south.

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