Built for Groups This 2018 Oceanis 51.1 is a spacious cruiser that genuinely suits larger sailing parties, five cabins sleep up to 12, which is ideal if you're bringing friends or extended family on a shared charter. It's the kind of boat where everyone gets reasonable comfort without feeling cramped.

Well-Equipped Cruiser Maelle comes nicely appointed with practical features: bow thruster and electric winches make handling easier, the water maker and coffee maker add real-world convenience, and the teak deck feels like a step above basic specifications. The chart plotter and autopilot keep modern cruising manageable, especially for longer passages or less experienced skippers.

Solid Value Proposition For a five-cabin bareboat, the €3,500 deposit is reasonable, and Spartivento's 4.8-star rating (14 reviews) suggests reliable service and well-maintained equipment, important when you're traveling internationally to a charter base. You're getting a 2018 boat that's proven rather than cutting-edge, which typically means fewer surprises.

One Real Consideration The Oceanis 51.1 is a comfortable cruiser rather than a performance sailer, so if your group is keen on racing or demanding sailing, she'll feel a touch leisurely. She's genuinely best suited to relaxed coastwise sailing where the spacious layout and creature comforts matter more than speed.

The marina & destination

Based at Marina Portorosa, in Furnari, Italy. Maelle - Standard line is operated by Spartivento.

Via Prestipaolo 7

Why this is a great starting point

Marina Portorosa sits on Sicily's north coast and offers immediate access to the Aeolian Islands, all reachable within a day's sail. Week 1 typically takes you through Lipari, Vulcano, and Salina, with consistent northwesterly winds making the return journey straightforward. The shallow, protected waters around the archipelago suit various boat sizes, and you can easily explore volcanic anchorages and small harbours before heading further east towards Messina Strait or west to Cefalù.

Can Maelle - Standard line be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Maelle - Standard 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 Maelle - Standard 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.
