SailChecker Expert View

Perfect for active sailors RACE DOG is a 2013 Salona 41 that appeals to experienced sailors who want a responsive, well-equipped cruiser rather than a floating hotel. With three cabins sleeping eight, she's ideal for small group sailing trips where everyone shares the love of actually sailing the boat.

Solid touring credentials The teak cockpit, sprayhood, and lazy jack system show this boat is rigged for comfortable long-distance sailing, you're not fighting the mainsail when you need to focus on navigation or anchor management. Heating is a genuine plus if you're chartering outside summer months in Northern European waters.

Reasonable value proposition At this price point with the 2013 build year and Salona's reputation for robust construction, you're getting a dependable platform that won't leave you worried about reliability mid-charter. The €2,500 deposit is reasonable and suggests competitive weekly rates.

Location detail matters The base location isn't listed in your data, which is crucial before booking, you'll need to factor in how long it takes to reach the boat from your nearest international airport and whether Octopus Sailing offers transfers. I'd confirm base details and exact weekly rates directly with the operator before committing.

The marina & destination

Based at Adaköy Marina, in Marmaris, Turkey. RACE DOG is operated by Octopus sailing.

Why this is a great starting point

Adaköy Marina in Marmaris sits at the gateway to the Turkish Riviera's most accessible cruising grounds; week one typically takes you east along the coast to Ekincik and Dalyan, or west toward Icmeler and the Greek islands of Rhodes and Symi depending on wind direction. The marina benefits from reliable northwest winds in summer months, making it well-positioned for both novice sailors exploring sheltered bays and more experienced crews heading into open water. From here you can reach anchorages with reasonable overnight distances of 15 to 30 nautical miles, giving you flexibility to explore limestone coves, visit working fishing villages, and sample local provisions without excessive daily sailing.

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