SailChecker Expert View

Who it suits This 50-footer works brilliantly for larger sailing groups of 8, 11 people looking to explore the Mediterranean without breaking the bank. It's ideal if you want proper cabins rather than squeezing onto a catamaran, and the five separate sleeping areas mean families or friends can have genuine privacy.

Standout features The Oceanis 50 is a proven cruising design with solid seaworthiness and comfortable accommodation for a monohull of this size. At 15.4 metres, she's manageable for mixed-ability crews yet roomy enough that everyone doesn't feel cramped, a sweet spot many larger groups appreciate.

Value proposition At €4,690 per week from Malta Charters, this represents genuinely fair pricing for an 11-berth vessel in the central Mediterranean. The modest €4,000 deposit is reasonable, and Malta's position makes it a logical hub for exploring Greece, Sicily, and southern Italy without lengthy transfers from major European airports.

One honest note She's a 2009 build, so while the Oceanis 50 ages well, do confirm the condition of systems and sails with the operator before committing. A 15-year-old boat in charter service can be either immaculately maintained or showing its miles, it's worth asking direct questions about recent refits.

The marina & destination

Based at Kalkara Marina, in Kalkara, Malta. Moonbreeze is operated by Malta Charters.

Kalkara Wharf

Why this is a great starting point

Kalkara Marina sits in the Grand Harbour area of Valletta, offering immediate access to Malta's central cruising grounds and the sister islands of Gozo and Comino, all reachable within a day's sail. Week 1 typically involves exploring the sheltered anchorages around Comino, the northwest coast toward Mellieha Bay, and day trips to Gozo's harbours at Mgarr or Xlendi, with consistent northwesterly winds providing reliable sailing. The marina's position in one of the Mediterranean's finest natural harbours means you can clear customs and provisioning on arrival before heading out, minimising admin before your holiday begins.

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