Built for performance The Pogo 44 is a modern racing-cruiser that rewards active sailors who enjoy spirited sailing rather than pure comfort. With a 2022 build and solid equipment including autopilot, radar, and a chart plotter, this boat will keep you engaged on the water and handle variable conditions well.

Well-equipped package Solar panels, heating, a gennaker, and even a stand-up paddle board show the owner has thought about practical cruising. Four cabins sleep eight, which works well for small group charters, though berth sizes on a Pogo tend toward snug rather than luxurious.

Fair value proposition At €6,000 deposit, the pricing seems reasonable for a modern, well-equipped 44-footer in 2022 condition. You're getting genuine performance kit here, not just an easy-going floating hotel, which matters if you care about how the boat sails.

One honest note: The Pogo is a fairly technical boat to sail efficiently, so this suits experienced sailors more than beginners. If your group includes keen racers or confident cruisers, you'll love it; if you're looking to relax and motor gently, look elsewhere.

The marina & destination

Based at Bandol, in Bandol, France. Hecladapi is operated by Open Sail.

Why this is a great starting point

Bandol is a sheltered base on the French Riviera's central coast, well-positioned for exploring the Îles d'Hyères (Porquerolles, Port-Cros, and Levant) which lie just 15 nautical miles to the east. Week 1 charters typically work the Côte d'Azur eastward toward Saint-Tropez and the Maures coast, with consistent thermal winds and protected anchorages between islands. The marina itself has reasonable facilities and town amenities, though berth availability can be tight during peak season.

Can Hecladapi be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Hecladapi 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 Hecladapi?

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.
