Perfect for groups The Chandra is a solid mid-size cruiser that sleeps up to 10 across four cabins, making it ideal for families or friends chartering together. At 14.4 metres, it's manageable for experienced sailors without requiring a professional skipper, though you'll want decent boat-handling skills.

Well-equipped and practical The 2018 Sun Odyssey 479 comes with the essentials that make sailing comfortable: bow thruster, autopilot, electric winches, and a teak deck that feels more upmarket than the price tag suggests. The chart plotter in the cockpit and electric toilet are genuine convenience features you'll actually use.

Solid value proposition At this size and age with these systems, the boat offers genuine value if you're splitting costs among four to six people. A 4.8-star operator rating across 14 reviews suggests Spartivento keeps their fleet well-maintained and handles clients fairly.

One practical note The main caveat is that the charter base location isn't specified in your details, check whether it's easily accessible from major European airports (many sailing bases require 90 minutes to 3+ hours of driving from the nearest hub). That can either be a bonus for peace and quiet or a frustration depending on your flight connections.

The marina & destination

Based at Marina di Olbia, in Olbia, Italy. Chandra - Standard line is operated by Spartivento.

Via Piovene 8

Why this is a great starting point

Marina di Olbia sits on the northeast coast of Sardinia, offering direct access to the Maddalena Archipelago and the Costa Smeralda within a day's sail; week 1 typically involves exploring granite-backed anchorages, small island villages, and crystalline waters around La Maddalena National Park. The northeasterly Mistral winds generally allow you to island-hop southward toward Porto Cervo and the sheltered Straits of Bonifacio, with reliable conditions for sailing and plenty of protected anchorages. This location suits crews wanting immediate natural beauty without lengthy passages, combined with the option to push into Corsican waters if conditions permit.

Can Chandra - Standard line be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Chandra - Standard line 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 Chandra - Standard line?

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.
