SailChecker Expert View

Perfect for mixed groups. The Sun Odyssey 42 i offers three cabins sleeping up to eight, making it ideal for families or friends wanting to share costs on a week's sailing—especially if you're flying long-haul from the US or Europe to reach the charter base.

Solid, proven design. This 2009 Jeanneau is a workhorse with a teak deck, autopilot for easier cruising, and a heating system (handy for shoulder-season charters in cooler Mediterranean or Atlantic waters). The included dinghy expands your anchorage options considerably.

Strong value proposition. A €2,500 deposit is very reasonable, and at this size and age, daily rates should be competitive without feeling like you're compromising on comfort or safety—a nice sweet spot for bareboat chartering.

One thing to note: The operator has only one review on file, so while the 5/5 rating is encouraging, you won't have a broad track record to lean on; a quick call to Palm Yachting about their maintenance schedule and guest feedback will give you more confidence before booking.

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