Perfect for groups The Oceanis 51.1 is a spacious five-cabin cruiser that sleeps up to 12, making it ideal for families or friends wanting to share costs on a bareboat adventure. At 15 metres, she's substantial enough to handle open water but manageable for experienced sailors.

Modern and well-equipped As a 2023 build, Monica is virtually brand new with contemporary systems and a solid specification, you're getting current-generation comfort and reliability. The five separate cabins mean privacy that's rare in this size range, which keeps group dynamics happy.

Reasonable entry price With a €2,500 deposit, the financial barrier to charter is modest, and Alboran Charter's 4/5 rating suggests honest service. For splitting costs across multiple families, this works out genuinely affordable per person.

One note on operator feedback Only two reviews in the system means limited track record data to lean on, so I'd recommend checking directly with Alboran about their specific support, turnaround procedures, and any recent client feedback before committing. Las Palmas is a straightforward European gateway (direct flights from the UK and mainland Europe), but confirm your operator's international guest experience upfront.

The marina & destination

Based at Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, in Las Palmas, Spain. Monica (Las Palmas) is operated by Alboran Charter.

Why this is a great starting point

Las Palmas sits at the gateway to Atlantic crossings and Canary Island cruising, making it ideal if you want to explore the volcanic landscapes and trade-wind sailing of the archipelago. Week 1 typically takes you south to Tenerife and Gran Canaria's sheltered south coasts, or east toward Fuerteventura and Lanzarote where steady northeasterlies and calm anchorages suit both beginners and experienced crews. The marina provides full facilities and acts as a natural hub for Atlantic voyages, with reliable provisions and regular cargo-ship schedules for those planning longer offshore passages.

Can Monica (Las Palmas) be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Monica (Las Palmas) 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 Monica (Las Palmas)?

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.
