SailChecker Expert View

Perfect for couples This compact 2025 RM 970 suits couples or small families wanting an intimate sailing experience without the overhead of a larger vessel. At just 9.7 metres, she's nimble enough for exploratory sailing yet equipped with modern essentials like autopilot and chart plotter.

Smart modern kit The new build year is a genuine highlight — you're getting contemporary systems and zero wear on the engine and rigging. A refrigerator and holding tank are practical additions on a boat this size, and the outboard engine keeps things simple and fuel-efficient.

Excellent value proposition With zero deposit required and only two cabins to maintain, the bareboat rate should be very competitive for a brand-new sailing boat. This is genuinely accessible sailing without compromise on build quality.

One real limitation At 6 berths across 2 cabins in a sub-10-metre hull, sleeping arrangements will be cosy — expect one cabin with a double and one with convertible bunks or a narrow twin. If you're chartering with friends expecting private sleeping quarters, this won't deliver that comfort level.

Frequently asked questions
Can GUSTY 4 be rented with or without a skipper?
You can charter GUSTY 4 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 GUSTY 4?
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.
