Viko S 30 | Galaia

Q: Can Galaia be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Galaia 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.

Q: What sailing licence do I need to charter Galaia?

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.

Q: 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.

Q: 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.

Q: 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.

Q: 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.

Q: 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.

Q: 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.

Q: 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.

Perfect for couples This 9.3-metre Viko S 30 is an ideal intimate getaway for two people or a small family, with 2 cabins and 4 berths tucked into a nimble, manageable package. The 2016 build means she's modern enough to be reliable without being overengineered.

Smart practical features You get the essentials that matter: a proper swimming platform (great for Med or Caribbean charters), chart plotter for navigation confidence, and a lazy bag system that makes sail handling genuinely easier when you're shorthanded. The coffee maker is a small but welcome touch on a small boat.

Keen pricing overall At just €900 deposit, the entry cost is refreshingly low for a newer yacht in this size bracket. You're getting good value if you're after uncomplicated coastal sailing without luxury frills.

One honest note At 9.3 metres, this is genuinely compact, perfect if you and your crew are comfortable in close quarters, but worth being realistic about if anyone gets claustrophobic or you're expecting extra comfort. She'll reward confident helmsmanship and reward you with easy transport logistics to almost any Mediterranean or Atlantic charter base.

The marina & destination

Based at Port d'Aiguadolç, in Sitges - Barcelona, Spain. Galaia is operated by Surcando Mares.

Why this is a great starting point

Port d'Aiguadolç is a well-sheltered marina in Sitges with good facilities and direct access to the Catalan coast. Week 1 charters typically work the coastline south toward Tarragona, exploring the Ebro Delta's shallow anchorages and medieval hilltop towns, or head north toward Barcelona and the Costa Brava with its rocky coves and small fishing villages. Northeasterly winds dominate in summer, making the southbound passage favourable and the return leg more challenging.
