ITALICA II is an Oceanis Clipper 523, a 16.20-metre vessel born from the happy marriage between the Bénetéau shipyard, world leader in the production of sailing boats, and Groupe Finot, an established and long-experienced naval designer.

A true cutter-rigged sailing yacht, built with solidity and an ideal ratio between displacement (weight) and sail area for demanding sailors who want to sail while having fun, in comfort and safety.

Italica II is equipped to a high standard and meticulously maintained by her Owner and Captain who lives on board all year round!

Despite the generous size and capacity of the boat, a maximum of 6 guests can embark for maximum comfort on board and quality of the holiday.

Live a unique experience on board ITALICA II Crewed Premium sailboat. Comfort and privacy without compromise. Although Italica II was built to carry eight guests plus the crew, with its 5 double cabins and 5 bathrooms, we decided to limit the embarkation to six guests for maximum comfort and quality of the holiday. Fabio, Shipowner and professional Skipper, will guide you on this adventure with passion and dedication to transform your trip into an unforgettable experience.

Solid family cruiser. The Oceanis 523 is a proven, spacious design that handles 6 people comfortably across 3 cabins, ideal for families or small groups wanting proper sleeping separation without feeling cramped. The 2010 build is well-established, so you know what you're getting: reliable and straightforward to operate.

Smart onboard kit. Water maker, generator, heating, and Wi-Fi mean you're genuinely self-sufficient and comfortable in cooler months or remote anchorages. The bow thruster and autopilot take stress out of tight maneuvers and longer passages, while the dinghy and paddleboard add real flexibility for exploring.

Good value proposition. No deposit required is refreshingly straightforward, and you're getting a competent, well-equipped boat at what feels like fair mid-range pricing for a 16m cruising yacht. You're paying for reliability rather than flash, which holds up if you prioritize comfort and capability over luxury.

One practical note: The 2010 vintage means older systems, electronics and engine tech have moved on considerably in 15 years, so budget realistic expectations for reliability and potentially factor in a professional handover to understand quirks specific to this hull.

The marina & destination

Based at Marina di Cagliari, in Cagliari, Italy. Premium is operated by Sailmood.

Via Roma - Molo Dogana

Why this is a great starting point

Marina di Cagliari sits in Sardinia's southeastern corner, making it an ideal launch point for exploring the Maddalena Archipelago and Costa Smeralda to the north; week 1 typically involves 2-3 day passages with reliable northwesterly winds to reach these granite-island groups. The marina also opens access to the southern Sardinian coast and nearby islands like Sant'Antioco, offering protected anchorages and shorter hops suitable for crews adjusting to sailing conditions. Expect moderate summer winds and well-charted waters with good provisioning stops throughout the week.

Can Premium be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Premium 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 Premium?

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.
