Perfect for couples The RM 890 "Shore Line" is an excellent choice if you're two people looking for an intimate sailing escape, or a small family wanting something nimble and manageable. At 8.9m, she's compact enough to handle easily but spacious enough that you won't feel cramped over a week-long charter.

Smart practical kit You get genuinely useful features here—autopilot takes the strain out of longer passages, the sprayhood keeps you dry in typical European sailing conditions, and the holding tank means you can cruise without constant shore visits. The included stand-up paddle is a nice bonus for exploring anchorages and shallow spots.

Reasonable value proposition At this size and vintage, the €3,000 deposit suggests competitive daily rates through Open Sail. For a 2024 build, the boat will be in excellent condition, which matters when you're investing time flying internationally to reach the charter base.

Location mystery remains We can't see the base location listed here, which is crucial—you'll want to confirm it's somewhere with decent airport connections and English-speaking support, especially if you're traveling from the UK or US. Once you have that detail from Open Sail, you'll know whether the logistics work for your trip.

The marina & destination

Based at La Rochelle, in La Rochelle, France. Shore Line is operated by Open Sail.

Can Shore Line be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Shore Line 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 Shore Line?

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.
