Santa Anna is an Astondoa GLX 82 of 23.95 metres, crewed for a private day out of Marina El Portet. Twelve guests can come, with four cabins below (one VIP, one double and two twins), air conditioning, a galley, TVs in the salon and cabins, exterior speakers and an Avon Zodiac tender for five. We handle the yacht so you can move between the decks, the cockpit and the water, and the top speed is 18 knots, so the day stays steady rather than a blast.
A short tour of the decks and cabins comes first, so you know where to sit and where to leave bags before lines come off. We then set a line along the Costa Blanca, ease into a cove when you want to swim, or hold off the cliffs if you would rather stay on board for lunch in the galley.
You have room to split the group between the cockpit, a shaded corner and a cabin if someone needs a break from the sun, with the air conditioning running below. Fuel is billed by the hour of running after the day, so we keep the routing honest rather than running at speed for the sake of it. The Zodiac can go in when we are happy with the stop and the sea state.
Boarding is from the passerelle at Moll de la Pansa, after you park at Marina El Portet and check in at the charter office. Santa Anna works from that same pontoon for the day and returns there at the end, so anyone waiting ashore knows where to find you.
The usual water is the coast toward Cabo de San Antonio. The yacht needs depth and room to swing, so we pick stops that still have space rather than squeezing into a shallow cala, and you come back to Portet at the end of the day.
This day is crewed from start to finish, so you do not need a licence and you do not helm the yacht. Wear soft shoes or go barefoot on the teak, bring sun cream, and tell us if anyone in the twelve has mobility needs so we can plan boarding from the passerelle.
Soft bags are easier on the teak than hard cases, so leave the big luggage in the car if you can. If you want food on board, bring it or ask us before the date so we know whether the galley will be used.
Four cabins, a galley, air conditioning and a Zodiac give you room to spread out. You get a VIP cabin, a double, two twins, TVs in the salon and cabins, exterior speakers and crew who stay with the boat for the day, so someone can nap below while the rest of you stay on deck.
Gennaro meets you at the Portet office and we take it from there. Routes follow the sea state, lunch can happen in the galley if you brought food, and you finish at the same marina rather than a second drop-off.
You meet at the charter office on Moll de la Pansa and walk onto the yacht from the passerelle. We show the decks, the four cabins and where to sit while we prepare to leave the berth, so you know where the air conditioning, the galley and the TVs are before we move.
Hard cases stay in the car if you can manage with a soft bag. Shoes come off on the passerelle so the teak stays clean, and we can help if anyone in the group needs a slower board.
Once clear of the harbour we set a line along the cliffs. You can stay on deck, drop into a cabin with the air conditioning on, or swim when the yacht is stopped in a cove with enough depth, and the top speed of 18 knots keeps the day steady.
Lunch is on board if you brought food, and the galley is there for that. The Zodiac can go in if we are happy with the stop, and the day moves when you are ready rather than running a fixed list of sights.
We come back alongside at Marina de Dénia at the end of the day. Fuel for the hours run is settled at the office, then you step ashore with your bags and we take care of the yacht.
If you want another date on Santa Anna, ask while we are still on the pontoon. We can check the diary in person before you leave, which is easier than trying to sort it later from the car park.
Santa Anna takes up to twelve guests by day. Four cabins sit below if someone wants a break from the sun, and you book the yacht for the whole group rather than a seat each.
Tell us the headcount when you request the date. We will not put more than twelve guests on a day charter, and knowing the ages helps us plan boarding from the passerelle.
There are four cabins: one VIP, one double and two twins. They are there for use during the day if someone wants shade, a nap or a change of clothes, with air conditioning below and TVs in the salon and the cabins.
Overnight use is not part of the day charter. If you want a night on board, ask when you request the date so we can say whether that can be arranged separately, because night capacity is eight guests plus crew.
Fuel is not included in the day charter. It is billed by the hour of running after you come back alongside, for the time the engines were actually used.
We keep the routing practical so you are not running at speed without a reason. Ask when you book if you have a longer track in mind, and we can talk through how that affects the hours under way.
Santa Anna is a crewed day. You do not need a boat licence and you do not helm the yacht yourself, which is why soft shoes and a bag of towels are more useful than a ticket.
The crew stay with the boat for the day. If you want extra staff for service, ask when you request the date so we can say what is already on board.
This is a day charter, and you can use the four cabins during the day. Overnight use is not part of that booking, so treat the cabins as shade, a nap and a change of clothes unless we agree something else.
Night capacity on this hull is eight guests plus crew if an overnight is agreed separately. Ask when you request the date so we can say whether that can be arranged.
Santa Anna carries an Avon Zodiac for five people. We decide when it can go in, depending on the stop and the sea state, and someone from the crew stays with it.
The tender is part of the yacht's kit, not a separate hire. Tell us if you want time in the Zodiac so we can plan it into the day rather than squeezing it in at the last minute.
Pack swimwear, towels, sun cream and a soft bag. Soft shoes or bare feet are better on teak than hard soles, and the passerelle is easier if you are not carrying a hard case.
Bring food and drinks if you want them on board. There is no set catering package, so assume you supply what you eat unless we agree something else before the date.
Santa Anna has a kitchen on board, and we can help you use it if you bring food. Tell us before the date so we know you want the galley open and we can plan lunch around a stop.
There is no set catering menu. Pack what you want to eat, or ask us ahead of time if you want us to look at something more organised.
You can swim when we are happy with the depth and the yacht is stopped. We set the swim ladder and keep someone watching the water, because this hull needs room to sit still.
There is no set swim list. Some groups spend a long time in one cove, and others stay on deck and treat the day as a slow run along the cliffs.
We will not take Santa Anna out if the sea state is unsafe. That call is made on the morning from wind, swell and visibility, not from a phone forecast alone.
If we cannot run, we will look for another date that still works for you. Get in touch the evening before if the forecast already looks poor so we can hold a spare.

About the centre
Dénia
You'll meet at the charter office on Moll de la Pansa in Marina El Portet, Dénia, then head out along the Costa Blanca towards the coves and the lighthouse at Cabo de San Antonio. Days run from a two-hour sunset to a half day or a full day, with a skipper included when you want one.
Gennaro and the crew keep groups to one boat, with kit already on board so you can swim, sit on deck or follow the coastline without packing extra gear. If you hold an RYA level 2, PER or equivalent and you are 24 or over, you can take a boat without a skipper. Routes follow the weather, and you come back to the same pontoon at the end of the session.
