Bareboat Yacht Charters Blog

In recent years, the direction of many bareboat charter fleets is to introduce more large-model sailboats. However, bigger isn’t always better, as evidenced by the new Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 32i.

Pure, fluid lines on the Sun Odyssey 32i make it a unique bareboat charter yacht. Architect, Philippe Briand, and the Jeanneau design team have created this cruising sailboat in keeping with Jeanneau’s values.

Jeanneau 32i

At sea on a Caribbean yacht charter holiday, bareboat sailors can savor the simplest pleasures of coastal cruising, whether as a keel boat or lifting keel with twin rudders. At anchor, 2 couples can easily stretch out in the generous cockpit of the Sun Odyssey 32i. On the interior, refined details in the cabins, head compartments, saloon, galley, and even the card table enhance barefoot charter comfort onboard.

Jeanneau has turbocharged their 32 foot model. This has been achieved by adding a taller rig, a deeper keel, and some racing hardware. The interior, a surprisingly spacious two cabin layout, remains untouched. The new sail charter 32 is equipped with the best hardware and a voluminous interior making the perfect balance between the fast designed hull and the exceptional comfort of this two couple yacht.

This yacht will suit any level of sailor, making it a fine choice for the simple point of sight sailing found on a Caribbean yacht charter or the more challenging legs encountered on a Mediterranean yacht charter adventure.

One of the newest bareboats on the market, this monohull is available in Tortola (British Virgin Islands, Caribbean), the Ionian (Greece, Eastern Mediterranean), the Sporades (Greece, Eastern Mediterranean), Gocek (Turkey, Eastern Mediterranean), Marmaris (Turkey, Eastern Mediterranean), Turgutreis (Turkey, Eastern Mediterranean), and Bodrum (Turkey, Eastern Mediterranean).

To the delight of Amalfi yacht charter enthusiasts, the spike in bareboat inquiries for Italy has led to the opening of a new base in the Bay of Naples, in the town of Procida.

While Procida is less well-known than its glamorous neighboring islands of Ischia and Capri, its mainland location makes it the ideal starting point for a bareboat charter to the Pontine Islands or along the Amalfi Coast.

Located in the Tyrrhenian sea within 50 miles of Italy’s west coast and just a one-hour cruise from
Naples, the Pontine Islands are only accessible by sea.  They remain relatively unknown, thus
making this archipelago ideal for an authentic Italian holiday on a monohull or catamaran bareboat.

The Pontine Islands include Ponza, Palmarola, Zannone, Ventotene, Santo Stefano, the small island of Gavi, and the solitary rock of la Botte, offering a variety of coastal conditions, with rock outcroppings, dockside villages, and small Mediterranean yacht charter ports.

Sail charter enthusiasts will enjoy mild climates, flourishing gardens, and fragrant citrus groves.  The waters are clear and perfect for summer snorkeling, especially in Palmarola. There are numerous coves and inlets – enough to fill a week or more with exploration possibilities. Walking shoes are a must – as there are many historical ruins and nature trails for hiking.

The marina at Corricella is a perfect overnight anchorage, at the edge of a postcard, picture-perfect fishing town, surrounded by nets and fishing boats. Only attainable by sea, there are no vehicles here. The village faces due southeast and is sheltered from all other sides by the cliff behind. A long ridge of rocks protects the marina from the occasional southeasterly wind (Scirocco).

What could be better than a monohull or catamaran sail yacht rental along the Amalfi coast, with its magnificent stretch of mountainous coastline and small fishing villages?  The charter base in Procida is sure to grow in popularity.  It is hard to imagine a more authentic slice of Italian coastal life.

An excellent sail monohull yacht for consderation is the Sun Odyssey 39i, featuring 3 cabins and 2 heads. Twin steering positions with winches placed near the helms provide easy sail handling. For safety, with a dedicated life raft locker integrated into the stern skirt, the Sun Odyssey 39i truly represents the next generation of yachts.
