About this yacht
HELONA - Brand New 2022 - Flybridge with full bimini cover- Solar Panels - Inverter - Big Refrigerator - Ambience Lights - Sunbathing lounge - Fusion sound system with Bluetooth
SailChecker Expert View

Perfect for groups Helona is ideal if you're chartering with friends or family, 12 berths across 4 cabins means everyone gets their own space without feeling cramped. At 12.4m, she's compact enough to handle easily but roomy enough that groups don't trip over each other.

Well-equipped modern catamaran This 2022 Bali offers the essentials you'd want: solar panels and an inverter keep power flowing, the flybridge gives you extra outdoor living, and thoughtful touches like an ice maker and coffee maker make life aboard genuinely comfortable. The swimming platform and dinghy round out a solid feature set for exploration.

Strong value proposition At roughly €720 per person per week (for 8 people), you're getting a recent catamaran with twin hulls, naturally more stable than monohulls, plus good kit, all for a reasonable rate. The €3,000 deposit is straightforward.

One practical note The charter base location isn't specified in the details, which matters for your travel logistics from Europe or North America. Before booking, confirm where Helona is based and how long transfers from your nearest international airport will actually take, that often affects the real cost and hassle of the trip.

The marina & destination

Based at Port of Volos, in Volos, Greece. Helona is operated by Discovery 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.

Frequently asked questions
Can Helona be rented with or without a skipper?
You can charter Helona 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 Helona?
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.
