Ideal for larger groups This 509 is a solid choice if you're bringing friends or extended family, ten berths across five cabins means everyone gets reasonable privacy without cramping. The 15.4-metre length handles the configuration well for a boat in this class.

Good comfort features The teak cockpit, hydraulic gangway, and electric toilet are nice touches that add convenience and appeal, especially after a long flight to Sardinia. The chart plotter and modern systems suggest decent maintenance, though the 2014 build means some refresh wouldn't hurt.

Mixed reviews warrant caution A 3.3/5 rating across 19 reviews is honest feedback, not terrible, but inconsistent. Before committing the €4,500 deposit, ask the operator directly about recent improvements and read through those reviews carefully to understand what's gone wrong for others.

Watch the value equation Without published weekly rates, it's hard to judge if you're getting good value, especially given the operator's middling reputation. Sardinia's a beautiful destination with excellent accessibility from the UK and Europe, but factor in whether this particular boat justifies the cost versus competitors at the same base.

The marina & destination

Based at Punta Nuraghe, in Porto Rotondo, Italy. KAOS is operated by Yachting in Sardinia.

Via G. Bonanno

Why this is a great starting point

Punta Nuraghe in Porto Rotondo sits on the northeast coast of Sardinia, placing you within easy reach of the Maddalena archipelago and the island-studded waters north toward Corsica. Week one typically takes you through sheltered granite-bound anchorages, with the Strait of Bonifacio offering strong northwesterlies that suit confident sailors; lighter winds and shorter hops suit those wanting gentler conditions in the first week. The marina itself provides good provisioning and repair facilities for boats heading into these granite-island cruising grounds.

Can KAOS be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter KAOS 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 KAOS?

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.
