Perfect for families The Oceanis 41.1 is a genuinely likeable cruiser that handles beautifully for mixed-ability crews, and with three cabins sleeping eight, it's ideal for families or small groups wanting comfort without feeling cramped. The 2018 build means modern systems and good condition throughout.

Smart cruising setup You're getting solid kit here: autopilot takes the strain on longer passages, chart plotter removes guesswork, and the sprayhood keeps spray out of the cockpit during coastal work. The dinghy is already included (not always the case), which matters when you're exploring anchorages far from marinas.

Reasonable value proposition At this size and age with three cabins, the pricing sits fairly in the mid-market , you're not overpaying for the Beneteau badge, but you're not cutting corners either. The €2,500 deposit is reassuringly solid, which generally reflects responsible operator standards.

One practical note The base location isn't specified in the details, so do confirm the charter hub's proximity to a major international airport and whether Le Bateau Blanc arranges transfers , that matters hugely when you're flying in from the US or northern Europe. A 12.4m boat is genuinely manageable for keen amateurs, but not so large that professional delivery costs become prohibitive if needed.

The marina & destination

Based at Bocca di Magra, in Bocca di Magra, Italy. Poison is operated by Le Bateau Blanc.

Why this is a great starting point

Bocca di Magra sits at the mouth of the Magra River on Italy's Ligerian coast, making it an ideal base for exploring the Cinque Terre, Portovenone, and the Gulf of La Spezia within a day's sail. Week 1 typically takes you south toward the Tuscan islands, Elba, and Portoferraio, or north to the Portofino peninsula and beyond; the prevailing northwesterly Mistral winds favour southbound passages in summer. The shallow approaches and protected river anchorage suit boats drawing under 2 metres, though you'll want local knowledge or a pilot for the entrance itself.

Can Poison be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Poison 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 Poison?

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.
