Who it suits This is ideal for groups of 4, 6 seeking a relaxed, fuel-efficient coastal escape without the commitment of a sailboat. The 2019 Swift Trawler design appeals to couples and small families who value comfort and easy handling over performance.

Standout features The teak cockpit and bimini canopy create a genuinely pleasant cruising environment, while the autopilot and modern chart plotter handle navigation effortlessly. You get solid amenities, air conditioning, generator, and a dinghy, that make extended time at anchor genuinely comfortable rather than roughing it.

Value and practicality Zero deposit is refreshingly honest and removes friction; the inclusion of a paddle board and dinghy suggests the operator knows what makes a relaxing charter tick. At 14.7 metres, this boat strikes a sweet spot between spacious and manageable for mixed-ability crews without a professional skipper.

One honest note We don't have pricing, base location, or fuel costs listed, all critical for motor boats, which drink considerably more than sailboats. Before booking, confirm the fuel policy and total weekly cost so there are no surprises when you collect the keys.

The marina & destination

Based at Msida Yacht Marina, in Msida, Malta. Bandama is operated by Hot Yacht Luxury Yacht Charter.

Why this is a great starting point

Msida Yacht Marina sits in Malta's Grand Harbour area, offering quick access to the central Mediterranean's most compact cruising grounds; you can reach Gozo, Comino, and the dramatic cliffs of Malta's north coast within 2-4 hours of departure. Week 1 typically focuses on island-hopping between Malta, Gozo, and Comino, with reliable summer northwesterlies providing consistent sailing conditions and sheltered anchorages at spots like the Blue Lagoon and Dwejra. The marina's location near Valletta also means you can explore ashore between sailing days without losing valuable cruising time to long passages.

Can Bandama be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Bandama 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 Bandama?

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.
