Air-Conditioning | Generator | Max 12 pax

Solid family cruiser The Oceanis 51.1 is a proven cruising platform that suits multi-generational groups or friends wanting comfortable sailing without the learning curve, five cabins sleep 12, so it handles larger crews well. The 2022 build means everything feels current and systems are reliable, which matters when you're crossing open water to reach the charter base.

Well-equipped for comfort You're getting genuinely useful kit here: bow thruster and electric winches take the physical strain out of tight anchorages, while air conditioning and a generator mean living standards stay high even in warm climates. The teak cockpit, bimini, and sprayhood turn the outdoors into a proper living space, ideal for evening socializing after a sailing day.

Fair pricing, strong operator Spartivento carries a 4.8/5 rating on solid review volume, suggesting they maintain their fleet well and support charters properly. A €3,500 deposit is reasonable for a boat this size, and the all-in package, dinghy, chart plotter, autopilot, means fewer surprise add-ons.

Charter base location matters The base details aren't showing here, so confirm the location before booking, flight connections, transfer times, and whether Spartivento provides airport logistics will shape your trip logistics as an international traveler. That's worth clarifying directly with the operator.

The marina & destination

Based at Marina Cala de' Medici, in Castiglioncello, Italy. Elpida - Premium line is operated by Spartivento.

Viale Trieste 142

Why this is a great starting point

Marina Cala de' Medici in Castiglioncello sits on the Tuscan coast with straightforward access to the Tyrrhenian Sea's central cruising grounds. Within a week you can comfortably reach the Elba Island archipelago to the south, the Gorgona and Capraia islands to the northwest, or work along the Tuscan mainland coast toward Portoferraio; the prevailing northwesterly winds (Maestrale) typically favour southbound passages. This is a solid base for mixed itineraries combining protected anchorages with open-water sailing.

Can Elpida - Premium line be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Elpida - Premium line 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 Elpida - Premium line?

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.
