SailChecker Expert View

Perfect starter choice. The Sun Odyssey 33i is an ideal first bareboat for couples or small families who want to build confidence without feeling cramped. At 9.7m, she's manageable for newer sailors yet still feels like a proper yacht, not a toy.

Well-equipped for cruising. Smart Sail has fitted Paola with the essentials: autopilot and chart plotter take the pressure off, while the sprayhood and bimini mean you're not cooking in the sun all week. The inverter is a nice touch for keeping devices charged during anchor time.

Solid value proposition. A 2012 boat with five berths, full navigation kit, and a dinghy included at this deposit level is sensible pricing for a Mediterranean or Atlantic base—you're not overpaying for gloss. The 5/5 rating from Smart Sail suggests reliable, hassle-free handover and support.

One practical note: With only 2 cabins but 5 berths, you'll likely have a tight bunk cabin, so it suits genuine friends or families rather than acquaintances who need privacy. Confirm the exact base location before booking, as that drives your airport transfer time from your international flight.

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