Ideal crew size This 13.8-metre Ovni 445 suits groups of 4, 6 sailors who want a capable, comfortable cruising boat without massive complexity. With four cabins and eight berths, it's spacious enough for families or friends, yet intimate enough to feel manageable.

Solid cruising kit The yacht packs practical essentials: autopilot, radar, and heating make longer passages and cooler-season sailing genuinely pleasant, while the lazy jack system keeps sail handling straightforward. It's built for serious exploration, not just fair-weather pottering, and the 2011 build year suggests proven reliability in the Ovni design.

Fair value proposition At around €7,836 per week with a deposit under €5,500, this boat sits in the mid-range for its size and capability, reasonable for a four-cabin cruiser with modern safety gear and navigation systems. You're paying for a well-equipped, ocean-going platform rather than luxury finishes.

One heads-up The operator has only one review on record, so there's limited independent feedback on service quality or boat condition, worth asking direct questions about recent maintenance and getting a detailed pre-charter inspection. Given you'll likely be flying in from Europe or further afield, a solid operator track record matters before committing to a week-long charter.

The marina & destination

Based at Longyearbyen, in Longyearbyen, Norway. Aleiga is operated by Boreal Yachting.

Why this is a great starting point

Longyearbyen marina sits at 78°N in Svalbard, offering access to Arctic fjords, glaciers, and wildlife-rich waters that define week-one cruising; prevailing northwesterlies suit exploration of Isbjørnhamna and the Kongsfjord system, though you'll need ice-strengthened vessels and local knowledge. The season runs July to September only, when pack ice retreats enough for navigation, and you'll encounter 24-hour daylight and polar bears ashore, requiring expedition-style preparations rather than conventional leisure sailing. This is a destination for experienced crews seeking remote Arctic scenery; it is not suited to first-time charterers or those unfamiliar with ice-affected waters.

Can Aleiga be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Aleiga 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 Aleiga?

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.

We'll check live availability, apply any discounts, and come back within hours.
