Beneteau Oceanis 43 Demonio de Tasmania – Four-Cabin Yacht Hire from Santa Cruz

Description

Demonio de Tasmania gives a group the flexibility of three double cabins plus a separate bunk-bed cabin. This Beneteau Oceanis 43 also has two convertible saloon berths, so the layout can be adapted to different groups travelling from Santa Cruz de Tenerife. A bimini above the cockpit provides shade between sailing sessions.

Beneteau Oceanis 43 Demonio de Tasmania is a 13.1-metre sailing yacht built in 2009 and berthed at Marina Santa Cruz in Santa Cruz de Tenerife. Operated by ECC Yacht, it is a straightforward choice for friends or families who want a sailing holiday with a practical cabin layout rather than a larger, more expensive vessel.

The four cabins consist of three doubles and one cabin with bunk beds, together providing eight cabin berths. Two extra sleeping places are available in the saloon, bringing the supplier's listed total to ten. Choosing to use both saloon berths means giving up some of the main shared living space at night. The yacht has two toilets with showers. If you book a professional skipper, ask how the skipper's sleeping arrangements affect the guest berths and authorised occupancy.

For everyday life aboard, there is a galley with a fridge, cooker, oven, sink and kitchen utensils. Pillows and blankets appear on the included-equipment list. The supplier separately prices bed linen and towels, so confirm what bedding is actually supplied for your chosen charter. Air conditioning is not listed as available.

Under sail, Demonio de Tasmania has a classic mainsail, autopilot and an outside GPS plotter. A bimini shades the cockpit and an outside shower is available after time on deck. The inventory also lists a dinghy, while an outboard engine for it is offered as an optional paid extra. The audio system has interior speakers; external speakers are not confirmed.

ECC Yacht lists two possible arrangements: independent bareboat charter for a captain with a valid sailing licence and experience accepted by the operator, or a professional skipper hired separately. Both options need the charter company's approval and date-specific availability. Ask for an itemised offer that reflects your group size, licence status, any skipper accommodation and the extras you actually need.

Why choose this yacht

The main appeal is the accommodation mix: three double cabins suit couples, while the bunk-bed cabin gives a family or group of friends a different sleeping arrangement. With a bimini, two bathrooms and a basic cooking galley, the yacht covers the practical needs of a sailing trip without depending on unconfirmed luxury amenities.

Who is this yacht for?

Families or groups comparing a four-cabin sailing yacht from Santa Cruz de Tenerife. Eight people can use the fixed cabin berths, or the supplier lists ten berths if both saloon places are used. Groups hiring a skipper must confirm how many guest berths and places remain available.

Bed linen is listed at €15 per person, towels at €6 per person, a dinghy engine at €95 per rental and Wi-Fi at €200 per week. Optional deposit insurance costs €255 per rental, but the supplier does not say whether it reduces the deposit or by how much. Ask ECC Yacht for the insurance policy, total payable, fuel and mooring policy, accepted sailing qualifications and any change in guest capacity when a skipper is aboard.

Practical tips

The departure base is Marina Santa Cruz in Santa Cruz de Tenerife. The supplier lists daily pickup between 09:00 and 10:00 and return between 17:00 and 18:00; longer charters use different handover windows. Most service extras, including cleaning, gas, tourist tax and an optional skipper, are listed as cash-only at the base, while the refundable deposit can be paid by cash or debit/credit card. Confirm the precise berth, safety briefing, required documents and payment arrangements before arrival.
