SailChecker Expert View

Perfect for groups This 2023 Oceanis 51.1 is genuinely excellent for larger parties or multi-family charters , six cabins sleeping 12 means everyone gets reasonable private space without cramped compromises. The modern build and comprehensive kit (autopilot, bow thruster, solar panels, dinghy included) tells you this is a well-thought-out charter yacht, not an afterthought.

Smart standard spec Solar panels plus inverter is a thoughtful touch for extended cruising, and the bow thruster removes real stress when maneuvering in tight anchorages or marinas. Bimini and cockpit cushions come as standard, which saves you money and confirms the operator takes comfort seriously.

Value proposition At €4000 deposit with a 5-star rating (albeit from a small sample), this sits in a competitive mid-sized bracket for the Ionian Islands , you're paying for newness, capacity, and operational reliability rather than luxury premium pricing. That's fair value if your group size justifies the cabin count.

One honest note The operator rating is excellent but based on only two reviews, so it's early data , worth requesting recent client references or testimonials before committing. Beyond that, check your exact charter dates and confirm whether the base location works with your flight connections from the UK or US.

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