Perfect for groups This 2018 Sun Odyssey 519 offers genuine five-cabin sleeping for up to 12 guests, making it ideal for larger families or friends wanting to split costs on a longer charter. The generous layout is rare at this size and delivers real value when you're pooling resources.

Well-equipped cruiser Solar panels, lazy jack, sprayhood, and a cockpit chart plotter show this boat has been thoughtfully outfitted for comfortable sailing without constant engine use or fussy gear management. The teak deck and bimini add real cruising comfort for extended time on the water.

Solid value proposition At this price point with five proper cabins and modern systems, you're getting decent bang for money, especially if you're chartering with others to spread the per-person cost. The €2,500 deposit is reasonable.

One note on ratings Alboran Charter's 4/5 rating is based on just two reviews, so there's limited feedback to draw from yet. Worth checking directly with the operator about recent guest experiences and whether they're responsive during your charter, since you'll be investing significantly upfront.

The marina & destination

Based at Sal Harbour, in Palmeira, Cape Verde. Alboran Grappa (Palmeira) 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.

Can Alboran Grappa (Palmeira) be rented with or without a skipper?

Alboran Grappa (Palmeira) can be chartered both bareboat (without a skipper) if you have the required sailing credentials, or with a professional skipper if you prefer, just confirm your preference when booking with Alboran Charter, as availability and pricing will differ.

What sailing licence do I need to charter Alboran Grappa (Palmeira)?

For bareboat charter of this 15.8m Sun Odyssey in Cape Verde, you'll typically need an International Certificate of Competence (ICC) or equivalent national sailing qualification demonstrating coastal/offshore experience; contact Alboran Charter directly to confirm their specific requirements, as these can vary.

What's included in the charter price?

The charter price typically includes the yacht, standard onboard equipment, and basic provisioning, but exact inclusions vary, so ask Alboran Charter whether fuel, water, linens, and end-of-charter cleaning are covered, as these often come at additional cost.

What additional costs should I expect at the base?

Beyond the charter fee, plan for fuel top-up, provisioning (food and drinks), port fees if staying in marinas, and any optional services like additional equipment or crew; Alboran Charter can provide a detailed breakdown when you request a quote.

How does the security deposit work for Alboran Grappa (Palmeira)?

Alboran Grappa (Palmeira) requires a €2,500 refundable security deposit, typically charged to your card at booking and released after the yacht is returned in agreed condition, confirm the exact timing and damage assessment process with Alboran Charter when you book.

Can I cancel my charter booking?

Cancellation terms depend on how far in advance you cancel and Alboran Charter's specific policy; most operators offer refunds or credits if cancelled well ahead, but reduced or no refund closer to departure, get the detailed cancellation policy in writing before you commit.

Is Alboran Grappa (Palmeira) insured?

The yacht carries standard operator's insurance, but this typically covers third-party liability and not your personal losses; charter insurance (helmsman liability, baggage, medical) is usually optional and purchased separately, ask Alboran Charter about available insurance packages.

What documents do I need to bring?

Bring a valid passport (check Cape Verde entry requirements well ahead), your sailing qualification certificate (ICC or national equivalent), driver's licence as ID backup, and travel insurance documents; non-EU citizens should verify visa requirements for Cape Verde in advance.

What payment methods are accepted?

Payment methods vary by operator, ask Alboran Charter whether they accept bank transfer, credit card, or other methods, and confirm any fees; for international bookings from the US or Europe, bank transfer is often most economical to avoid currency conversion charges.
