Equipment (10 aboard · 42 not)

Who it suits This 2008 Oceanis 43 is ideal for groups of 4–6 sailors wanting a hands-on cruising experience in the Canary Islands, particularly those with some sailing experience. The four-cabin layout and 10-berth capacity make it flexible for families or mixed groups, though comfort improves with fewer people aboard.

Standout features The teak deck and solar panels are genuine quality touches that signal proper maintenance, while the lazy jack, sprayhood, and bimini make everyday sailing less physically demanding. A chart plotter in the cockpit and autopilot are essentials you'll genuinely use in open Atlantic waters, and the dinghy gives you real freedom to explore anchorages around Tenerife and neighbouring islands.

Value and practicality At 12.8 metres, this is a honest mid-range cruiser—not a luxury catamaran, but well-equipped for independent sailing. Las Galletas is a straightforward base on Tenerife's southern coast with reasonable airport access from Tenerife South (about 1 hour), making international arrivals workable. The €2,500 deposit is moderate for a boat of this size.

One honest note The operator has only two reviews at 4/5—not a red flag, but thin feedback to work from. Before committing, ask Alboran Charter directly about their response times, support availability, and whether English-speaking crew assistance is included, since you'll be

The marina & destination

Based at Marina del Sur, in Las Galletas, Spain. Alboran XXXI Saoco (Las Galletas) is operated by Alboran Charter.

C/Torre de Control 2 Planta

Can Alboran XXXI Saoco (Las Galletas) be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Alboran XXXI Saoco (Las Galletas) 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 Alboran XXXI Saoco (Las Galletas)?

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.
