Perfect for groups This 2019 Sun Odyssey 490 is ideal for larger sailing parties or flotilla charters, 12 berths across five cabins mean you can accommodate friends, family, or corporate groups without feeling cramped. The boat punches well above its 14.8m length in terms of comfort and sleeping capacity.

Well-equipped and modern You're getting genuinely useful kit here: electric winches take the strain out of sail handling, bow thruster makes tight anchorages forgiving, and a cockpit chart plotter keeps navigation straightforward. The teak deck and cockpit cushions add that touch of quality, and the 4.8-star rating from Spartivento (14 reviews) suggests the operator keeps things in good order.

Solid value proposition A 2019 boat with this cabin count and equipment specification at a modest €3,500 deposit represents honest value, you're not paying premium prices for a newer model that won't sail any better. The electrical systems (winches, toilet, fridge) mean less manual labour on a longer charter.

One practical note We don't have the base location listed in your specs, so I can't advise on flight connections or transfer logistics, that matters when you're traveling from the US or Europe. Once you've confirmed the charter base, check how easy it is to reach and whether Spartivento offers airport transfers, as that can add a day to your journey.

The marina & destination

Based at Capo d'Orlando Marina, in Capo d'Orlando, Italy. Chaos - Standard line is operated by Spartivento.

Contrada S. Gregorio

Why this is a great starting point

Capo d'Orlando Marina sits on Sicily's north coast, offering immediate access to the Tyrrhenian Sea and the Aeolian Islands; week one typically involves motor-sailing or light reaching to Lipari, Vulcano, and Salina, with the prevailing northwesterlies allowing comfortable passages of 15-25 nautical miles between anchorages. The marina provides a practical base for exploring protected anchorages around Panarea and Stromboli before returning westward along the Sicilian coast toward the Cefalù area, giving you a mix of overnight anchorages, small harbors, and volcanic scenery without long open-water passages.

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

You can charter Chaos - 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 Chaos - 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.
