Beneteau Oceanis 51.1 Mary-Anne – Five-Cabin Yacht Hire from Las Palmas

Description

Mary-Anne is a strong choice when your group wants to sail together but still have separate places to sleep. Based at Muelle Deportivo de Las Palmas, this Beneteau Oceanis 51.1 has five cabins, a shaded cockpit and a practical onboard kitchen for longer stays on the water.

Beneteau Oceanis 51.1 Mary-Anne is a 14.98-metre sailing yacht built in 2023 and based at Muelle Deportivo de Las Palmas, Gran Canaria. Its layout is particularly useful for families or groups of friends who want more sleeping rooms than a typical three-cabin yacht, while still sharing the same cockpit and saloon during the day.

Four of Mary-Anne's cabins have double beds, sleeping eight people. The fifth cabin has a bunk bed for two more, and the saloon offers another two berths. This gives a supplier-listed total of 12 sleeping places, although using the saloon as a bedroom reduces the common living area. There are three bathrooms with showers. The galley has a fridge, oven, cooker and sink, with kitchen utensils for preparing meals aboard.

A bimini provides shade over the cockpit, and the bathing platform and outside shower add convenience when spending time near the water. Sailing equipment includes a classic mainsail, autopilot and outside GPS plotter, while a dinghy and onboard audio system are also listed. These features make Mary-Anne suitable for travellers planning a sailing holiday rather than simply a short coastal outing.

Alboran Charter's supplier listing states that a valid sailing licence is required and does not advertise a paid professional skipper option. The precise charter arrangement and acceptance of the captain's qualifications need confirmation by the operator. Ask for availability and a complete quotation for your dates before making plans.

Why choose this yacht

Mary-Anne combines four double cabins with a separate bunk-bed cabin, which gives groups more flexibility than five identical rooms. The three bathrooms and galley are practical for a larger party, while the cockpit shade and bathing platform make shared time outdoors comfortable.

Who is this yacht for?

Families or friends travelling as a group, especially when some guests would prefer a bunk-bed room instead of sharing another double. There are ten berths in cabins and two in the saloon; twelve guests can only have separate sleeping places if the saloon berths are used.

What to expect

A 2023 Beneteau sailing yacht with a classic mainsail, autopilot and cockpit GPS plotter, plus a bimini, bathing platform and five-cabin accommodation. No optional skipper service is listed in the supplier extras. The operator will confirm the lawful charter arrangement, licence acceptance and final boarding details.

Before you go

The supplier advertises a starting rate of €490 per day. Mandatory extras are final cleaning at €140 per rental, a gas cylinder at €15 per week and local tax at €5 per person. The standard refundable security deposit is €2,500 per rental; this is a hold or refundable amount under the operator's conditions, not a rental fee. Bed linen and towels are offered for €20 per person and a dinghy engine for €135 per week as optional extras. Two similarly named deposit-insurance options appear in the source, priced at €215 and €220 per rental; only the €220 option explicitly describes reducing the refundable deposit to €600. Ask Alboran Charter which insurance option, deposit and cover actually apply. The charter company will confirm the qualification and operating requirements for this rental, together with availability, fuel and mooring costs, before booking.

Practical tips

The listed base is Muelle Deportivo de Las Palmas in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. The supplier shows day-charter collection between 09:00 and 10:00 and return between 17:00 and 18:00; longer charters have different handover windows. The source lists cash and card as possible on-site payment methods, but the operator should confirm the exact procedure for the deposit and other charges.
