Perfect for groups This 49-footer sleeps six across three cabins, making it excellent for families or small groups wanting to split costs. At €2,700/week, the price per person becomes genuinely competitive when you're sharing.

Well-equipped cruiser The Sun Odyssey 49 is a proven, comfortable cruising design with modern conveniences like inverter power, bimini, and sprayhood, essentials for longer journeys or mixed-weather sailing. It's the kind of boat that handles both day sailing and comfortable overnight passages without fuss.

Solid value proposition With a modest €2,500 deposit and sub-€2,800 weekly rates, this represents fair pricing for a boat of this size and condition. OceanMed's reputation as a Mediterranean operator is reassuring for those flying in from the US or UK.

One heads-up A 2009-build means systems and engines have had fair use; confirm maintenance records and battery/engine condition before committing, especially if planning longer offshore sailing. Clarify the exact base location too, since it wasn't specified, charter logistics depend heavily on airport proximity.

The marina & destination

Based at Santa Maria di Leuca, in Leuca, Italy. Don Pepe is operated by OceanMed Sailing.

Why this is a great starting point

Santa Maria di Leuca sits at the heel of Italy where the Adriatic meets the Ionian Sea, making it an ideal launch point for exploring the dramatic Salento coastline and the Greek-influenced islands of the southern Ionians. Week 1 typically sees you cruising north along the Adriatic's limestone cliffs and cave systems, or southwest toward the Aeolian Islands if winds favour; the area experiences consistent northerly winds in summer that suit both directions. The marina provides good access to charming anchorages around Gallipoli and Taranto, plus the option to reach Albania's Ionian coast within 2-3 days if you prefer less-travelled waters.

Can Don Pepe be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Don Pepe 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 Don Pepe?

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.
