Perfect for families The Sun Odyssey 440 is an excellent mid-size cruiser that suits families and groups of up to 10 looking for comfort without complexity. With 4 cabins and modern 2022 build quality, everyone gets decent personal space and the boat handles easily for mixed-ability crews.

Smart design touches The lazy bag and sprayhood take real hassle out of sailing, while the bimini keeps you shaded on long passages, exactly what you want in warm-water cruising. Autopilot and chart plotter handle the navigation heavy lifting, so you can focus on enjoying time with your group rather than constant steering.

Solid value proposition At €3,000 deposit, this is reasonably accessible for a modern 4-cabin yacht in this size range. You're getting a well-equipped boat that won't demand constant fiddling, which matters when you're traveling internationally and want reliable performance.

One practical note The listing doesn't specify the charter base location, you'll want to confirm where this boat operates before booking, especially if you're flying long-haul, as airport transfer times and flight connection options vary dramatically by region. Once you know the base, check whether Now Charter offers the pre-arrival support you'd expect for international clients unfamiliar with the local sailing conditions.

The marina & destination

Based at Marina Arcipelago Toscano, in Piombino, Italy. Sandy is operated by Now Charter.

Strada di Pontedoro

Why this is a great starting point

Marina Arcipelago Toscano in Piombino sits perfectly positioned for exploring the Tuscan Archipelago; week one typically involves island-hopping to Elba, Pianosa, and Montecristo with prevailing northwesterly winds providing reliable beam reaches. The protected waters between the islands offer good holding and short passages of 10-25 nautical miles, making it ideal for crews new to the area or looking to settle into cruising rhythm before tackling longer crossings toward Corsica.

Can Sandy be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Sandy 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 Sandy?

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.
