SailChecker Expert View

Perfect for groups The Avel Vaez is a spacious 2024 catamaran that suits families or friends looking to share costs on a larger vessel. Four cabins sleeping eight make it ideal for splitting a charter between two couples or a small group.

Modern comfort setup This ORC 57 comes well-equipped for self-catering cruising—solar panels with an inverter keep you independent, the water maker means unlimited freshwater, and essentials like autopilot and chart plotter handle navigation. You're getting a genuinely new boat with contemporary systems.

Zero deposit appeal The €0 deposit is genuinely unusual and refreshing; it removes a significant financial barrier for international charterers flying in from the US or Europe, making the upfront commitment far simpler.

One practical note We don't have the base location listed here, which matters hugely for flight connections and whether you're looking at a short hop or a longer journey from your home airport. Reach out to Open Sail directly for that detail—it'll shape your entire logistics plan.

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