Perfect for groups With 5 cabins sleeping 10 guests, SILVER IX is ideal for larger groups or extended families wanting to charter together without splitting costs across multiple yachts. The 2023 build means everything is current and reliable for a hassle-free week on the water.

Well-equipped modern cat This Bali 4.2 comes with the essentials you'd want: water maker and generator for self-sufficiency, air conditioning for hot climates, autopilot for easier sailing, and a decent spec of creature comforts like cockpit speakers and a sprayhood. The zero deposit is also a genuine plus if you're managing cash flow before departure.

Solid value proposition At €8,426 per week for 10 berths, you're looking at roughly €842 per person, genuinely competitive for a modern, well-equipped catamaran of this size, especially from an independent operator like Y Knot Yachting.

One thing to clarify The charter base location isn't listed in the details we have, so before booking, confirm where you're flying into and how far the base is from the nearest major international airport, that'll affect your overall trip logistics and whether you need to add a night's accommodation before embarkation.

The marina & destination

Based at Port of Volos, in Volos, Greece. SILVER IX is operated by Y Knot Yachting.

Why this is a great starting point

Volos sits at the gateway to the Sporades islands, making it ideal for week-one cruising to Skiathos, Skopelos, and Alonissos with consistent northerly winds; the crossing to these islands typically takes 4-8 hours depending on your chosen anchorage. The marina offers good facilities and the Pelion peninsula provides a scenic backdrop, though expect the meltemi wind to strengthen as the season progresses. From here you can also explore the quieter Evia coast to the south or venture north towards Thassos if conditions allow, giving you flexibility for a relaxed first week of chartering.

Can SILVER IX be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter SILVER IX bareboat (you skipper) if you hold the relevant sailing licence, or hire a professional skipper alongside the yacht. The choice is yours when you request the quote.

What sailing licence do I need to charter SILVER IX?

Bareboat charter typically requires a recognised sailing licence (RYA Day Skipper, ICC, ASA, or equivalent) plus a VHF radio licence. The exact requirements depend on the country of charter — we confirm with the operator when you enquire.

What's included in the charter price?

The charter fee covers the yacht, standard equipment, and insurance for the dates booked. Tourist tax, transit log (final cleaning + bed linen), fuel, food, marina fees during the trip, and any optional extras (skipper, paddle board, etc.) are normally extra and paid at the base.

What additional costs should I expect at the base?

Typical mandatory extras are the transit log (often €200–€350), tourist tax (a small per-person-per-day fee), and a refundable security deposit (often €1,500–€5,000 depending on the yacht). Optional extras like a skipper, hostess, paddle board, or early check-in are listed on the quote.

How does the security deposit work?

The deposit is held by the operator at check-in (usually card pre-authorisation) and refunded after check-out if the yacht is returned without damage. Many operators offer a deposit-waiver insurance product that reduces the held amount in exchange for a smaller non-refundable premium.

Can I cancel my charter booking?

Cancellation terms vary by operator. Most allow cancellation with a full refund if requested more than 60–90 days before the start date, with progressive penalties closer to departure. Some operators offer a flexible-cancellation insurance product when you book.

Is the yacht insured?

Yes — every yacht is insured by the operator against damage and third-party liability. The insurance covers the yacht itself; personal effects and trip cancellation are not covered and are worth insuring separately.

What documents do I need to bring?

You'll need your passport, sailing licence (if chartering bareboat), VHF radio licence, and proof of payment. The operator will send a check-in form ahead of time covering crew details and any special requests.

What payment methods are accepted?

Charter fees are normally paid by bank transfer in advance (often a 50% deposit at booking, balance 30 days before charter). On-base extras are usually paid by card or in cash.
