Ideal for families The McLir II is a brilliant choice for families or groups of up to 10 wanting a comfortable sail around Italy's coast. With four cabins on a 2021 boat, everyone gets proper sleeping space without cramping, and the generous berth count makes it genuinely sociable.

Well-equipped and modern This Sun Odyssey 440 ticks all the boxes for hassle-free sailing: electric winches mean less grunt work, a bow thruster handles tight anchorages with ease, and thoughtful extras like the sprayhood, bimini, and swimming platform turn a sailing holiday into genuine relaxation. The teak cockpit and cockpit speakers add that touch of Italian dolce vita.

Solid value proposition For a 2021 boat with this specification, including dinghy, paddleboard, and a full complement of modern sailing gear, the pricing is competitive for Mediterranean charter. The €3,000 deposit is reasonable and suggests the operator treats their fleet well.

Base logistics matter The operator listing doesn't show a specific base location, so before booking, confirm exactly where you'll pick up and drop off; Italy's sailing hubs (Sardinia, Sicily, Croatian coast) vary widely in airport transfer time from international gateways. Once you know the base, you'll find it a straightforward flight from most European or US hubs.

The marina & destination

Based at Marina di Nettuno, in Rome, Italy. McLir II is operated by Sailing in Italy Charter.

Marina di Nettuno C.N. S.p.A Lungomare Matteotti snc

Why this is a great starting point

Marina di Nettuno sits 40km southwest of Rome, offering immediate access to the Tyrrhenian coast's sheltered waters and island-hopping routes. Week 1 cruising typically reaches the Pontine Islands (Ponza, Palmarola, Zannone) with steady northwesterly winds pushing you south, or explores the Campania coast toward the Bay of Naples and Ischia. The marina works well for charters wanting cultural variety: you can anchor near Roman ruins and small fishing villages while building sea time before committing to longer passages south toward Sardinia or the Amalfi Coast.

Can McLir II be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter McLir II 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 McLir II?

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.
