Perfect for groups Cassiopea suits families or friends wanting genuine sailing without sacrificing comfort, three cabins sleep nine across, so you're not cramped even with a full crew. The 2010 Sun Odyssey 42 is a proven workhorse with a solid reputation for reliability.

Well-equipped vessel Electric winches and a bow thruster make handling easier, especially if your group includes less-experienced sailors, while the teak cockpit and air conditioning keep things pleasant during hot-weather sailing. Wi-Fi and internet mean you won't completely disappear, which matters for many charter clients flying long distances.

Reasonable value At this size and age with three cabins, the €2,500 deposit suggests fair pricing, you're getting a comfortable boat with modern conveniences without premium-yacht costs. The gear list is honest: nothing flashy, but everything you actually need works.

Location question The charter base location isn't specified here, so I can't comment on airport transfer times or how convenient it is for international arrivals, that's worth clarifying directly with BeBlue Sailing before booking, especially if you're coordinating flights from North America or mainland Europe.

The marina & destination

Based at Marina del Fezzano, in Fezzano di Portovenere / La Spezia, Italy. Cassiopea is operated by BeBlue Sailing.

Via dei Cantieri

Why this is a great starting point

Marina del Fezzano sits in the protected waters of Portovenere's harbour, offering straightforward access to the Cinque Terre coastline and the Tuscan Archipelago. From here, week one typically covers the dramatic limestone cliffs and anchorages around Monterosso and Vernazza to the north, with southbound passages to Elba and Pianosa achievable within 3-4 days depending on the mistral winds that dominate this coast. The marina's position in the Gulf of Poets means you're sheltered while still within reach of the best sailing grounds in the northwest Mediterranean, making it ideal for crews managing jet lag on arrival.

Can Cassiopea be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Cassiopea 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 Cassiopea?

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.

We'll check live availability, apply any discounts, and come back within hours.
