SailChecker Expert View

Ideal for families This 2023 Sun Odyssey 490 is a solid choice for a group of four to six sailors wanting comfort without compromise. The four-cabin layout sleeps up to 10, so families or friends get plenty of space, and the modern build means you're not dealing with tired systems.

Well-equipped modern sailer You get the essentials that make a week easy: autopilot (listed twice, which suggests the operator really values it), solar panels for extended cruising, and useful touches like a sprayhood and bimini for weather protection. The chart plotter in the cockpit is handy for navigation without constantly heading below.

Decent value proposition At around €4,941 per week, this feels fairly priced for a new-build 13.4-metre with four cabins in what appears to be a Mediterranean base. The €2,500 deposit is standard. You're paying for a contemporary yacht that won't nickel-and-dime you with repairs mid-charter.

One honest note The operator has only two reviews and a 4/5 rating, not a red flag, but not a track record either. Before booking, ask for references or check recent guest feedback directly. Given you're likely flying long-haul to reach this base, you'll want confidence in the handover and support team from day one.

The marina & destination

Based at La Lonja Marina Charter, in Palma de Mallorca, Spain. Alboran Vino Blanco is operated by Alboran Charter.

Muelle de la lonja

Why this is a great starting point

La Lonja Marina sits in Palma's working harbour, offering immediate access to the Balearic Islands' best cruising grounds; week one typically sees charters heading south to Cabrera National Park or northeast along the coast toward Andratx and Port d'Andratx, with reliable northwesterly winds making for straightforward sailing. The sheltered waters around Mallorca's southwest coast suit varied skill levels, while nearby islands like Dragonera and Illa Fogoneu break up longer passages and provide good anchorages. You can also reach Menorca within two days' sailing, opening a second-week option without repositioning.

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