Great family choice Silly Shark is a solid mid-size cruiser that suits groups of 6, 10 people, whether you're an experienced sailing family or a mixed-ability crew mixing sailors with non-sailors. The four-cabin layout and 10-berth capacity make it ideal for a week of relaxed cruising without feeling cramped.

Practical standout features You get genuine comfort here: a teak cockpit, bimini for sun protection, sprayhood for weather, and onboard speakers to set the mood. The autopilot and chart plotter mean less grinding and better navigation, while the dinghy opens up anchoring in shallow bays, those touches matter on a week-long charter.

Solid value proposition At 2009 vintage, this boat is well-maintained and sensibly equipped for bareboat cruising. The €3,200 deposit is reasonable, and NSS Charter's 4.3/5 rating across 10 reviews suggests a reliable, responsive operator, important when you're flying in from abroad.

One realistic note An outboard engine rather than an inboard means you'll hand-crank starts in variable conditions and less redundancy if something goes wrong, though it's typical for this size and age. Check your base location before booking, as that ferry time from the airport can vary wildly depending on where NSS operates.

The marina & destination

Based at Grenada Yacht Club, in St. George's, Grenada. Silly Shark (GND) is operated by NSS Charter.

Spout Point

Why this is a great starting point

Grenada Yacht Club sits in St. George's inner harbour, offering secure mooring and good provisioning for crews starting Caribbean charters. From here, week 1 typically reaches the Grenadines to the north (Carriacou, Petite Martinique, Union Island) in day sails of 15-25 nautical miles, with consistent northeast trade winds making for reliable beam or close reach sailing. The southern Caribbean's settled winter weather and protected anchorages make this an ideal first base before moving further north toward Mustique or Bequia.

Can Silly Shark (GND) be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Silly Shark (GND) 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 Silly Shark (GND)?

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.

We'll check live availability, apply any discounts, and come back within hours.
