Perfect for larger groups. With 5 cabins sleeping up to 9, Darwin suits families or friends wanting comfortable shared cruising without feeling cramped. The 2011 Oceanis 50 is a proven, spacious cruiser that handles well in various conditions.

Smart, practical setup. Solar panels and autopilot are excellent for longer passages, while the bow thruster makes tight mooring situations stress-free—especially valuable if your crew's sailing experience is mixed. The included dinghy opens up anchorages beyond the main charter bases.

Excellent value proposition. At €2,200 per week with a modest €1,400 deposit, Darwin undercuts typical 50-footers in this segment, and you're backed by Sunward Sailing's perfect 5-star rating. For international charterers flying in, this represents serious bang for your money.

One note of caution: The yacht is 13 years old, so while Oceanis builds solid vessels, factor in that systems and upholstery may show honest wear. Request a detailed condition report and recent service history before committing, especially if you're booking high season.

The marina & destination

Based at Nydri Port, in Nydri, Greece. Darwin is operated by Sunward Sailing.

Can Darwin be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Darwin 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 Darwin?

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.
