About this yacht
GENERATOR, A/C, WATERMAKER, INVERTER, BOW THRUSTER
SailChecker Expert View

Perfect family choice The Oceanis 51.1 is an excellent mid-size cruiser for families or small groups wanting comfort without complexity. With five cabins and 13 berths, you've got genuine space to spread out, rare in this length class, plus modern conveniences like air conditioning, a water maker, and electric toilets that take the hassle out of sailing.

Standout practical features The bow thruster and autopilot make handling easy even for less experienced crews, while the teak cockpit, bimini, and swimming platform create a genuinely pleasant outdoor living space. The generator backs up your power needs, so you're not entirely dependent on wind or sun.

Solid value proposition A €4,000 deposit on a five-cabin 2026 boat is reasonable, and NSS Charter's 4.3/5 rating across 10 reviews suggests consistent, reliable service. You're getting a well-equipped modern yacht without paying flagship prices.

One honest note The base location isn't specified in your details, so confirm access via your nearest major airport and whether NSS provides transfers, that matters when you're flying internationally. Once you know where "Aldebaran" is based, you'll have a genuinely strong charter option.

The marina & destination

Based at Marina d'Arechi, in Salerno, Italy. Aldebaran is operated by NSS Charter.

Via Salvador Allende

Why this is a great starting point

Marina d'Arechi sits at the northern gateway to the Amalfi Coast, putting you within a day's sail of the Sorrentine Peninsula's steep cliffs, the island of Capri, and the quieter anchorages around Positano and Praiano. Week 1 typically involves working south towards the Cilento coast or north towards the islands of Li Galli, with reliable thermal winds and short hops between established ports. The marina's position on the Tyrrhenian Sea means you can reach protected anchorages and small fishing villages without committing to longer passages, making it ideal if you're adjusting to Mediterranean sailing after a long flight.

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