SailChecker Expert View

Solid workhorse choice The Princess 55 is a proven motoryacht design that suits couples and small families wanting comfort without complications. At 16.2 metres with three cabins, she offers genuine living space rather than a floating compromise.

Real strengths onboard You get proper creature comforts here, air conditioning, a generator, radar, and autopilot all working together to take the stress out of cruising. The chart plotter and radar mean you're well-equipped for varied conditions, and that zero deposit is genuinely attractive.

Watch the age factor Built in 1992, this boat is over 30 years old. That's not a dealbreaker, Princess builds sturdy vessels, but you'll want a thorough pre-charter survey and honest answers about recent engine and systems maintenance. Older boats can deliver great value, but they need diligent upkeep.

Value depends on location Without knowing the base, it's hard to judge the daily rate against what you're getting, or how long you'll spend transferring from the airport. If the base is convenient to a major European hub (Mediterranean ports near Nice, Athens, or Istanbul typically work well for international crews), and the price reflects that age honestly, this is a capable vessel for exploratory cruising.

The marina & destination

Based at D-Marin Göcek Marina, in Göcek, Turkey. Ayse Sultan is operated by Viravira.

Göcek Camtas Cad 12

Why this is a great starting point

D-Marin Göcek is a well-sheltered base on Turkey's southwest coast, positioned to reach the stunning turquoise anchorages of the Twelve Islands within 2-3 hours of sailing. Week one typically takes you north along the Aegean towards Ekincik and Dalyan, or south to Oludeniz and the Rhodes approaches, depending on prevailing northwesterlies; most routes stay within protected waters with short hops between anchorages. The marina offers full facilities and is close enough to Dalaman airport for straightforward arrivals, making it ideal for crews who want immediate access to easy, scenic sailing without long passages.

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