SailChecker Expert View

Perfect for families The Sun Odyssey 440 is an excellent choice if you're chartering with kids or mixing experienced sailors with less confident crew. Four cabins sleep up to eight comfortably, and the 2018 build means modern systems paired with proven Jeanneau reliability.

Smart sea-going features You get the essentials that matter: chart plotter for navigation confidence, sprayhood to keep the cockpit dry in choppy conditions, and outboard engine for tight anchorages. Cockpit speakers and cushions suggest the operator values both practicality and comfort.

Solid value equation At this size and spec, the €2,500 deposit is reasonable, and a 13.4m yacht offers genuine space without the premium pricing of larger vessels, you're paying for capability, not ego.

One realistic note Without knowing the charter base location, I can't speak to airport proximity or transfer logistics, which matter when you're flying international. Drop the base name into a quick search once you've identified your destination, and check typical flight connections from your home airport.

The marina & destination

Based at Marina de Portimao, in Portimao, Portugal. Innovation is operated by Portiate.

Ponta da Areia

Why this is a great starting point

Marina de Portimão sits in the central Algarve and makes a strong base for exploring Portugal's southern coast and the nearby Spanish waters of Huelva. Week 1 typically takes you east along the dramatic limestone cliffs toward Lagos and Sagres, or west across the border to the quieter anchorages around Ayamonte; the marina itself offers good shelter and reliable northeast winds for downwind passages to either direction. The town provides solid provisioning and repair facilities if needed before you head further afield.

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