The charter fee covers the yacht, standard equipment, and insurance. Cleaning, tourist tax, and any optional extras (skipper, paddle board, etc.) are billed at the base — we confirm the full breakdown when you request a quote.
Charter pricing is famously opaque. Here's everything the operator will charge — mandatory items paid at the base, plus optional add-ons you can opt into.
Solid mid-range choice The Bavaria 39 is a sensible, well-proven cruiser that suits couples or small groups who want comfort without complexity. At 12 metres with three cabins and seven berths, it punches well above its weight for space and livability on week-long coastal sailing.
Smart practical features You're getting the essentials that matter: autopilot takes the strain on longer passages, solar panels keep you topped up without running the engine constantly, and the sprayhood plus bimini make a real difference in variable weather. The dinghy inclusion is genuinely useful for anchoring out or exploring small coves.
Genuinely fair pricing At €2,081 per week with only a €2,000 deposit, this represents decent value for a boat of this size and vintage in the European charter market. You're not overpaying for a name, and the 2007 build means everything is proven kit rather than bleeding-edge.
Limited operator track record AF Yachting has just three reviews at 4.3 stars, which is solid but thin data, ask them directly about their maintenance schedule and backup support before committing. You'll want to confirm English-speaking briefing and clear communication before you fly long-haul to meet this boat.

Based at Port of Volos, in Volos, Greece. AF-B39(II) is operated by AF Yachting.
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.
