SailChecker Expert View

Perfect for groups This 2017 Sun Odyssey 519 sleeps up to 12 across five cabins, making it ideal for larger families or friend groups wanting to share costs and enjoy Cabo Verde together. It's a proven, well-built design that handles ocean passages confidently.

Standout strengths The five-cabin layout is genuinely rare at this size, most 16m yachts max out at three or four. You're getting serious sleeping capacity without jumping to a much larger (and pricier) vessel, plus the Sun Odyssey brand delivers solid build quality and excellent resale value.

Value proposition With a modest €2,500 deposit and Alboran Charter's 4/5 rating, this looks fairly priced for a group charter in Atlantic island waters. Splitting costs across 10, 12 people typically works out very reasonable per person.

One note on operator info The operator listing shows limited review history (just 2 reviews), so while the 4/5 rating is encouraging, you'll want to request references or chat directly with Alboran Charter about their maintenance schedule and local support before booking, especially important for a remote base like Cabo Verde, where technical backup matters.

The marina & destination

Based at Sal Harbour, in Palmeira, Cape Verde. Alboran Cognac (Cabo Verde) is operated by Alboran Charter.

Why this is a great starting point

Sal Harbour in Palmeira gives you immediate access to the Cape Verde archipelago's northern islands, with Boa Vista, Maio, and Santo Antao all within 1-2 days sailing. Week one typically involves exploring the sheltered anchorages around Boa Vista and the tight island passages, where consistent northeast trade winds provide reliable sailing conditions. The marina works well for clients wanting to avoid the Atlantic crossing; you're positioned to cruise the volcanic landscapes and quiet bays of the northern group without committing to long ocean passages.

Frequently asked questions
Can Alboran Cognac (Cabo Verde) be rented with or without a skipper?

What sailing licence do I need to charter Alboran Cognac (Cabo Verde)?
For a bareboat charter, you'll need a valid International Certificate of Competence (ICC) or equivalent national sailing qualification demonstrating coastal/offshore experience. Alboran Charter will verify your credentials before confirming a bareboat booking.
What's included in the charter price?
The charter price typically covers the yacht, all standard safety equipment, navigation systems, and basic inventory. Fuel, provisioning, local taxes, and mooring fees are usually additional, so confirm the exact inclusions with Alboran Charter when booking.
What additional costs should I expect at the base?
Expect to pay for fuel, provisioning, mooring or anchorage fees in Cape Verde, and any local harbour taxes. If you've hired a skipper, their costs and meals are typically charged separately , clarify all extras upfront with Alboran Charter.
How does the security deposit work for Alboran Cognac (Cabo Verde)?
Alboran Cognac requires a €2,500 refundable security deposit, held as protection against damage. It's released after your charter ends and the yacht is inspected, usually within 5, 10 days, provided there are no chargeable damages.
Can I cancel my charter booking?
Cancellation terms vary by booking conditions; most operators offer partial refunds if you cancel well in advance, but close to your charter date penalties increase significantly. Contact Alboran Charter directly to understand your specific cancellation policy and any travel insurance options.
Is Alboran Cognac (Cabo Verde) insured?
Alboran Cognac carries operator's liability and hull insurance as standard. Your security deposit protects the operator against accidental damage, but you should purchase your own travel and cancellation insurance before departure.

What payment methods are accepted?
Alboran Charter typically accepts bank transfers and major credit cards; many brokers offer payment plans for larger bookings. Confirm accepted methods and any currency preferences (euros likely for a Cape Verde-based operator) when you inquire about availability.
