SailChecker Expert View

Perfect for couples who want a proven cruiser with room for a guest or two. The Sun Odyssey 39i is a reliable, well-designed yacht that's been a favourite for bareboat charters for over a decade, Steelbird I offers genuine sailing comfort without breaking the bank.

Notable strengths here: Solar panels and heating mean lower running costs and year-round comfort, while the autopilot and dual chart plotters take stress out of longer passages. Three cabins and seven berths give you flexibility, whether you're a couple wanting space or a small group splitting costs.

Real value proposition: At 2008 vintage with solid cruising kit, this boat punches above its price point if you're comparing to newer builds. The €2,000 deposit is very reasonable and suggests FundaMental Sailing runs a sensible operation.

One honest note: At 12 metres and 15+ years old, you'll want confirmation of recent servicing on the engine and systems before you commit, especially if you're flying in from overseas and relying on a tight itinerary. Ask FundaMamental directly about their maintenance records.

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