Ideal for families Don Carlo is a superb choice if you're chartering with kids or want comfortable cabin space without mega-yacht complexity. The four cabins and eight berths give everyone breathing room, and the 2025 build means everything works beautifully—no surprises mid-week.

Real comfort features This Sun Odyssey is genuinely well-equipped for its size: a water maker, generator, air conditioning, and bow thruster make extended cruising genuinely relaxed rather than rustic. The teak cockpit, bimini, and snorkeling gear signal a boat built for enjoying the destination, not just getting there.

Strong value proposition At 14.2 metres with four cabins and this spec level, the pricing sits in a sensible sweet spot for international charterers. You're paying for a manageable, modern boat with reliability built in—not a stretched bargain that'll have you troubleshooting systems in an anchorage.

One honest note The charter base location isn't listed, so check exactly where you'll be flying to; airport transfer time and local support quality vary wildly across operating regions. Once you've confirmed the base, this boat ticks nearly every box for a hassle-free week.

Can Don Carlo be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Don Carlo 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 Carlo?

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.
