Marijo is a Beneteau Oceanis Clipper 411. Designed with the intention of giving more space and comfort during the cruise, it is the ideal compromise between comfort and performance.
It has 4 cabins: two double aft, one forward and one with bunk beds. In the case of large groups, the dinette can accommodate two more people if necessary, transforming into a comfortable double bed.
In the central part, in addition to the dinette, along the side there is the large well-equipped kitchen corner complete with appliances and, to starboard, the chart table equipped with all the instruments useful for navigation (gps, on-board radio, depth sounder, log, etc) and traditional navigation charts.
The boat is completed by 2 bathrooms equipped with sinks and showers and a large beach with external shower.
For greater comfort on board, it is equipped with hot water, solar panels, hi-fi system for, mp3 and Bluetooth USB equipped with speakers both inside and outside, barbecue, diving and fishing equipment, external awning to protect yourself from the sun and evening humidity, sprayhood.
The electrical system on board is 12 volts and 220 on the inverter. Mobile phones, cameras, cameras, computers, mp3 players, etc. can be loaded without problems.
If it is the first time ... you will never forget it! To fully enjoy a sailing holiday it is not necessary to be a "sea dog"; the essential thing is to relax and let yourself be lulled by the sea. When boarding, inform the captain about any clinical problems (allergies to drugs, food intolerances, etc.) or related to aquatic conditions (fear of water, fear of going underwater with your head, not knowing how to swim). To navigate in maximum safety, before leaving there will always be a preliminary briefing where the maneuvers and gaits will be illustrated as well as all the details and curiosities to which the captain will have the pleasure of answering. You will always be informed about what happens on board and about all the behaviors to follow depending on the case, but the important thing is not to be ashamed to ask.
Life on board ... the more and certainly the better and fun, but to make harmony reign it is necessary to be tidy and clean, especially in the common areas. The simple rules of common sense and good manners will be a solid basis, a spirit of adaptation and democracy will be the additional ingredients for an excellent coexistence between travel companions.
The boat and the sea will become our home and will be safeguarded with the utmost care. Use the equipment with care as if it were your own because it is the source of your own safety at sea. Respect the sea by being careful not to pollute it with waste and cigarette filters and you will be rewarded for the choice at every dive in the clear and crystalline waters that you yourself have contributed to leave uncontaminated.
Compared to traditional holidays, however, there are two aspects that deserve special attention: fresh water and electricity. Both should be used sparingly because no matter how large the reserves are, they are not inexhaustible and would involve extra returns to port to recharge them. Always check that you have completely closed the taps, do not overdo the showers or waste precious water while washing the dishes. Same criterion in the use of electricity: recharge the equipment only when the engine is running, turn off the lights when you are not in the cabin. Small but important precautions to avoid draining the batteries.
What to put in your bag ... You will discover that on the boat you will wear, especially in summer, almost exclusively swimwear. The “suitable” baggage will therefore contain what is strictly necessary, trying to avoid many superfluous things. Only one piece of soft baggage per person is recommended, such as backpacks or gym and pool bags, as they can be easily stowed in cabin lockers unlike rigid trolleys.
