I appreciate you sharing this listing, but I need to be honest: This isn't a charter yacht. "Blue Marine I" is a 12-metre RIB (rigid inflatable boat) operated by a tour company, not a bareboat or crewed vessel available for private charter. There are no cabins or sleeping berths, which tells you it's designed for day trips and water sports activities, not overnight stays.

What it actually is: This looks like a guided snorkeling and water sports tour operation rather than a traditional yacht charter. If you're looking for a skippered day excursion with snorkeling in a specific region, it could be fun, but it's a completely different product from what most SailChecker clients are seeking.

Our honest take: If you're after a proper charter yacht, something where you can sleep aboard, explore at your own pace, and have real sailing freedom, this won't deliver that. I'd recommend we find you an actual charter boat in the same region instead. Do you know where the base is located, or what kind of sailing holiday you're actually after? That'll help me point you toward something that genuinely fits your needs.

The marina & destination

Based at Heraklion Port, in Heraklion, Greece. Blue Marine I is operated by Blue Marine RIB Tours.

Why this is a great starting point

Heraklion Port sits on Crete's north coast and gives you immediate access to the Sporades Islands and the route eastward toward Rhodes, both within easy reach for week one sailing. The prevailing northerly winds suit a broad range of itineraries; most charters head south to the islands of the Cyclades or east along Crete's coast toward Sitia and the Dodecanese. The port itself is busy and commercial, so many bareboat and crewed charters depart early to reach quieter anchorages on nearby islands such as Dia or Spinalonga within a few hours.

Can Blue Marine I be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Blue Marine I 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 Blue Marine I?

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.
