SailChecker Expert View

Perfect for families The Sun Odyssey 42DS is an excellent choice for groups of 4–8 looking for comfortable cruising without demanding sailing skills. Three cabins and eight berths give you flexibility, and the bow thruster plus autopilot make handling straightforward in tight anchorages or marinas.

Well-equipped vessel You're getting genuinely useful gear here: solar panels and an inverter keep power flowing during longer passages, the sprayhood and bimini protect you from Atlantic spray and Mediterranean sun, and cockpit cushions make those long afternoon sails genuinely pleasant rather than a test of endurance.

Solid value proposition At 2011, this boat is well-maintained and the €3,000 deposit is reasonable. The 5/5 rating from MG Yachts (though based on just two reviews) suggests reliable service, though always worth checking current client feedback before committing.

One realistic note The 42DS is a cruiser, not a performance yacht—don't expect sparkling pace in light winds. If you're flying long-haul to the charter base, confirm the exact location and airport transfer time with MG Yachts; that detail matters more than the boat's speed for your overall trip planning.

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