SailChecker Expert View

Solid mid-size cruiser The Sun Odyssey 42DS is a proven, comfortable platform that suits couples or small families wanting a bareboat or skippered week without breaking the bank. At 12.9m with three cabins and eight berths, there's decent space for groups of four to six without feeling cramped.

Well-equipped for sailing You're getting the essentials here: bow thruster (brilliant for tight anchorages), heating for shoulder-season cruising, autopilot, and a proper galley fridge. The bimini provides shade on long sailing days, which matters when you're on the water for a full week.

Keen pricing, low commitment A €2,000 deposit is refreshingly modest, and this 2010 model suggests realistic day rates compared to newer flashy boats. Magia Charter's perfect 5-star rating is encouraging, though it's worth noting that's based on just one review—not a huge data sample yet.

One honest note The charter base location isn't listed in your specs, which is crucial information for anyone flying in internationally—you'll want to confirm airport proximity and transfer logistics before booking. I'd definitely ask Magia directly about their home port and ground support.

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