SailChecker Expert View

Solid mid-range choice The Bavaria 36 Cruiser is a well-proven design that suits couples, small families, or friends looking for comfortable cruising without breaking the bank. At 11.4 metres with three cabins sleeping eight, you've got genuine comfort and flexibility for a week-long escape.

Smart practical features Arcobaleno comes equipped for real cruising, solar panels mean less reliance on the engine for power, autopilot reduces fatigue on longer passages, and the chart plotter keeps navigation straightforward. The bimini and sprayhood are genuine quality-of-life additions that matter on the water.

Excellent value proposition At €1,756 per week with only a €2,000 deposit, this represents honest pricing for a well-maintained 2005 boat in this class. You're getting genuine cruising capability without premium pricing, which is refreshing.

One honest note The 2005 build age means systems and upholstery will show their years, though nothing here suggests poor maintenance. If you're very particular about "like new" aesthetics, manage expectations, but the boat clearly works hard and delivers real value.

The marina & destination

Based at Sami Port, in Sami, Greece. Arcobaleno is operated by NAS YACHTS.

Why this is a great starting point

Sami Port sits on Kefalonia's east coast, offering straightforward access to the Ionian islands and the narrow Ithaca Channel; week-one itineraries typically reach Ithaca, Lefkada, and the sheltered anchorages around Nidri within easy day-sailing distances. The prevailing northwesterly winds (etesian) funnel down the channel, making passage south towards Zakynthos or north towards Corfu reliable and consistent. Strong charter fleet presence and regular provisioning make Sami a practical base for first-time visitors to the Ionian, though summer crowds in peak season mean early booking is essential.

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