SailChecker Expert View

Perfect for families The Sun Odyssey 440 is a genuinely comfortable cruiser that works brilliantly for mixed groups or families wanting real space below deck without sacrificing sailing performance. Three cabins and 6 berths give everyone their own retreat, which makes a big difference on week-long charters.

Well-equipped vessel You're getting thoughtful additions here, lazy bag, bow thruster, electric winches, and a bimini mean less faff and more relaxation. The teak deck and modern systems (autopilot, chart plotter, electric toilet) suggest this boat is genuinely looked after by Arcadie Plaisance.

Solid value proposition At 13.4m with three cabins, the pricing looks competitive for a 2020 model with this spec level. The €4000 deposit is reasonable and the boat punches above its weight for comfort-to-size ratio.

One realistic note You'll want to confirm your base location and flight routing, Arcadie Plaisance operates multiple bases across French waters, so verify the specific departure point matches your international schedule and whether airport transfers are included or straightforward to arrange.

The marina & destination

Based at Port Grimaud, in Grimaud, France. Sterenn is operated by Arcadie Plaisance.

Why this is a great starting point

Port Grimaud is a sheltered base on the French Riviera's Côte d'Azur, ideal for exploring the Îles d'Hyères (Porquerolles, Port-Cros, and Levant) within easy day sailing. Week 1 typically involves short hops eastward along the coast toward Saint-Tropez or westward to Sainte-Maxime, with consistent northwesterly Mistral winds making beam or broad reach sailing the norm. The marina itself sits in a protected lagoon, reducing exposure to open swell and offering simple access to some of the Mediterranean's most popular cruising grounds without long initial passages.

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