Perfect for families — With 5 cabins and 12 berths, Giovanna suits multi-generational groups or two families wanting comfortable separation and shared adventure. The 2017 Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 519 is a proven design that balances spaciousness with genuine sailing capability.

Well-equipped cruiser — You get the essentials: dual chart plotters (cockpit and nav station), autopilot, dinghy, and a bimini for sun protection in Med or Caribbean waters. The refrigeration and inverter are thoughtful additions that make extended cruising realistic rather than roughing it.

Reasonable value proposition — A €3,500 deposit is standard for this size and age, and Starsail's 4.5/5 rating suggests they maintain their fleet competently. The 15.8m length means manageable handling for experienced skippers while offering genuine comfort belowdecks.

Know before booking — The operator's rating is based on only 2 reviews, so you won't have extensive feedback to dig into. We'd recommend contacting Starsail directly about typical seasonal pricing, whether crew is included, and whether their base location (details weren't provided) works for your flight connections from the US or Europe.

The marina & destination

Based at Salerno, in Salerno, Italy. Giovanna is operated by Starsail.

Can Giovanna be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Giovanna 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 Giovanna?

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.
