About this yacht
High Quality Skippered Charter to Comino, Blue Lagoon, Crystal Lagoon, Santa Maria Caves, optional add on to visit Gozo
SailChecker Expert View

I appreciate you sharing this listing, but I need to be straight with you: this isn't really suitable for traditional yacht charter. A 26-foot Ranieri is a day-cruiser or tender, brilliant for exploring coastal waters and beaches, but with zero cabins and berths, there's nowhere to sleep or properly live aboard overnight.

Where it shines is as a fun, nimble support boat for water sports or a scenic day out. The 2023 build means it's practically new, and a vessel this size is easy to handle for confident recreational skippers. The zero deposit is refreshing, though you'd want to clarify damage insurance terms with A1Boat Charters directly.

Value question really depends on the daily rate, you'd need to check their pricing against competing day-cruise options in that region. For international guests flying in, this works best as an *add-on* activity during a longer holiday, not a standalone charter.

Honest note: The listing shows no base location, which is a red flag. I'd contact A1Boat Charters to confirm exactly where this boat operates before committing. If you're after an actual overnight sailing or motor yacht experience, I'd recommend looking at slightly larger vessels (35+ feet) with proper cabins, that's where the real charter value sits.

The marina & destination

Based at Tigne Seafront, in Sliema, Malta. Ranieri Cayman is operated by A1Boat Charters.

33/34 Tigne Seafront

Why this is a great starting point

Tigne Seafront sits at Malta's northern hub, putting you within easy reach of Gozo's anchorages and the Comino Channel within a day's sail. Week one typically takes you west to sheltered bays around Mellieha and Gharkura, or south towards the dramatic limestone cliffs and caves of the south coast; the Maltese archipelago's compact geography means you cover varied scenery without long passages. Northeasterly winds dominate summer months, making the western and southern routes reliable options, and you can base yourself back at Sliema for provisioning between shorter day sails.

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