SailChecker Expert View

Compact and capable. The Prestige 440 is a solid mid-sized motor boat that suits couples or small families wanting comfort without the complexity of sailing. At just under 11 metres, it's manageable for less experienced boaters while still offering proper amenities like air conditioning and autopilot for longer days on the water.

Practical creature comforts. You get air con, heating, Wi-Fi, and a TV, genuinely useful for European coastal cruising where weather can shift or you want to relax in port. The chart plotter and autopilot mean less fatigue navigating, which matters when you're flying long-haul to get here.

Reasonable entry cost. A €1000 deposit is accessible, and motor boats of this era typically offer decent value compared to larger or newer vessels. You're paying for proven reliability rather than flashy features, which is honest pricing from Mega Charter.

One practical note: With only 2 cabins but 7 berths listed, sleeping arrangements will be tight if you're bringing a larger group, expect some shared cabin space or forward cabin bunks rather than everyone having separate quarters. Confirm the actual cabin layout with Mega Charter before booking a party of seven.

The marina & destination

Based at Porto di Giardini, in Giardini Naxos, Italy. Pato is operated by Mega Charter.

Via Schiso

Why this is a great starting point

Porto di Giardini sits on the east coast of Sicily with straightforward access to the Aeolian Islands; a week-long charter typically covers Lipari, Vulcano, and Salina with settled northerly winds making for consistent beam reaches. The marina's sheltered position and modern facilities suit boats of all sizes, and you're positioned to explore dramatic volcanic anchorages and remote beaches without long passages. If winds turn southerly, the lee of the Sicilian coast provides immediate protection and alternative routes south towards Catania.

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