SailChecker Expert View

Perfect for small groups. Violet suits families or friends wanting an accessible sailing experience without breaking the bank—the 3-cabin layout sleeps 6 comfortably, and that 5-star rating from Almira Yachting (albeit based on limited reviews) suggests reliable service.

Smart, practical kit. Solar panels and a decent chart plotter are genuinely useful for extended cruising, and the sprayhood plus bimini mean you're covered in rough or sunny conditions. The autopilot takes pressure off longer passages, which matters when you're managing a small crew.

Sensible value proposition. A 2011 Oceanis 40 at this price point is honest pricing for a well-equipped boat with full amenities (fridge, dinghy included, radio-CD for downtime). The €2,000 deposit is reasonable and suggests the operator runs a transparent operation.

One practical note: With only 3 reviews, Almira Yachting is smaller than some charter operators—which can mean excellent personalized service or occasional gaps in support logistics. Before booking, confirm they handle airport transfers smoothly and have English-speaking staff ready for your arrival, since most SailChecker clients are traveling internationally to reach the base.

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