Who it suits: This is a fantastic choice for larger groups or families wanting a spacious sailing experience without feeling cramped. With five cabins and ten berths, you've got genuine comfort for extended time at sea—perfect if you're flying in from the US or Europe and want to make the most of a week-long adventure.

Standout features: The 2018 Sun Odyssey 490 is a proven, well-equipped cruiser with a solid reputation for reliability. The bimini and sprayhood are real quality-of-life additions that make longer passages and sunny anchorages genuinely enjoyable, while the inverter means you can comfortably run modern devices without constant engine time.

Value proposition: At this size and age with professional operator backing (Boomerang has a perfect 5-star rating), the €4,500 deposit suggests competitive week pricing. You're getting a modern, spacious vessel in excellent condition—solid value for a group splitting costs.

One note: The base location isn't specified in your details, so I'd recommend confirming transfer times from the nearest international airport (whether that's Athens, Split, or elsewhere) before booking, especially if you're coordinating a multi-leg flight from North America or northern Europe.

Str. Panoramica Costa Smeralda Km0,100

Can Aurora be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Aurora 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 Aurora?

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.
