What you'll pay

Charter pricing is famously opaque. Here's everything the operator will charge — mandatory items paid at the base, plus optional add-ons you can opt into.

Paid at the base (mandatory)

Refundable security deposit
Held at check-in (card pre-auth or bank transfer), refunded after charter if the yacht is returned without damage. Deposit-waiver insurance is one of the optional extras below — reduces the held amount in exchange for a smaller non-refundable premium.

SailChecker Expert View

Compact day-boat option The Salpa Soleil 26 is a rigid inflatable boat (RIB), not a cabin cruiser—so it's strictly for day trips or very short coastal adventures, not overnight stays. At 8 metres, it's nimble and fun for exploring shallow waters and hidden coves that larger yachts can't reach.

Who it suits This works brilliantly if you want flexible, active water time near your land-based accommodation—think day excursions to snorkel, fish, or visit nearby islands. It's ideal for experienced boat handlers or if you're hiring a skipper, but definitely not for families wanting to live aboard or first-timers seeking a relaxing floating hotel.

Value and practicality At around €2,924 per week with a modest €1,500 deposit, it's affordable for what it is, but remember: you're paying for boat access, not accommodation. Factor in hotel costs separately, plus fuel and potentially a skipper if you're not confident driving a RIB in open water.

The honest caveat Without knowing the base location, I can't assess how convenient the airport transfer is for international visitors—that matters a lot when you're flying long-haul. Confirm the operator's exact location and whether they offer skipper services, as this rental model requires either serious boating experience or extra hire costs.

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