SailChecker Expert View

Solid Mid-Range Cruiser The Bavaria 39 is a proven, comfortable cruising yacht that suits couples and small families wanting to explore at a relaxed pace rather than race. With 3 cabins and 6 berths, "Ira" handles mixed groups well without feeling cramped.

Well-Equipped Vessel This boat ticks practical boxes: bow thruster for easy mooring, solar panels and inverter for battery management, autopilot and chart plotter for navigation, plus a proper galley fridge and electric toilet. The teak deck, bimini, and sprayhood make time on deck genuinely pleasant in variable weather.

Fair Value Proposition At 2006 vintage with solid gear, the pricing should feel reasonable for a bareboat charter, though the base location isn't listed here, so confirm that against your travel logistics from the US or Europe. The €2,500 deposit is standard.

One Honest Note The 5-star rating comes from just one review, so take that glowing assessment with a pinch of salt until you see more feedback. Ask Olympic Yachting directly about recent season reports and any quirks with this specific boat.

The marina & destination

Based at Lavrion Main Port, in Lavrion, Greece. Ira is operated by Olympic Yachting.

Akti Papandreou Andrea

Why this is a great starting point

Lavrion is a working commercial port southeast of Athens with good road access from the capital, making it convenient for fly-in charters. From here you can reach the Saronic Gulf islands (Aegina, Poros, Hydra) within a day's sail, or head south towards the Cyclades with steady northerly winds; week one typically takes you to Kea, Kythnos, or Serifos depending on conditions. The port itself is functional rather than resort-like, but offers reasonable facilities and a practical base for exploring some of Greece's most accessible sailing grounds.

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