Ideal for groups This 2023 Oceanis 51.1 is built for larger parties, with 6 cabins sleeping up to 12, it's perfect for family reunions or friend groups wanting to explore together rather than charter separate boats. The modern build year means systems should be reliable and comfortable.

Well-equipped vessel You're getting solid gear here: autopilot, radar, chart plotter, and a sprayhood will make sailing more manageable, especially in Atlantic conditions around the Azores. The bimini and cockpit speakers add comfort for those long sailing days between islands.

Good value proposition A zero deposit is genuinely refreshing and removes friction for international clients flying in, no large upfront cash tie-up. For a 2023 boat of this size and cabin count, pricing tends to be reasonable, though we'd need current rates to say definitively.

One practical note: With only 2 operator reviews on file, Alboran Charter is fairly new to the platform or simply small-scale. You might want to reach out directly to ask about their Azores experience, local knowledge, and turnaround protocols, especially important if you're coordinating long-haul flights from the UK or US to meet the boat.

The marina & destination

Based at Horta Marina, in Horta, Portugal. Alboran Mónica (Azores) is operated by Alboran Charter.

Can Alboran Mónica (Azores) be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Alboran Mónica (Azores) 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 Mónica (Azores)?

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.
