SailChecker Expert View

Ideal for larger groups. ESCAPE suits families or friends wanting to sail together without splitting into multiple boats—six cabins comfortably sleep 12, which is rare at this size and price point. The 2022 Oceanis 51.1 is a proven, modern design that handles well for mixed-ability crews.

Well-equipped for independence. Water maker, solar panels, and a generator mean you're genuinely self-sufficient at anchor; the snorkeling kit and bow thruster are genuine quality-of-life additions rather than gimmicks. Air conditioning and electric toilets signal this is built for real comfort, not roughing it.

Strong value proposition. At €6,375/week from a 4.9-rated operator (Vernicos is respected in Greek waters), you're paying roughly €530 per person per week for 12—genuinely competitive for a modern, fully-equipped cruiser of this caliber. The modest €3,500 deposit reflects reasonable operator confidence.

One practical note: Six cabins on a 51-footer means some are cosy rather than spacious, so manage expectations if your group includes anyone who needs cabin size over headcount savings. Otherwise, this boat delivers serious capability at fair money.

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