About this yacht

SailChecker Expert View

Perfect for couples or small groups. The Bavaria 39 Cruiser suits up to six people comfortably, making it ideal for families or friends wanting a relaxed sailing holiday without feeling cramped across three cabins.

Well-equipped and thoughtful. She's got the essentials that make cruising easier, a bow thruster for tight anchorages, solar panels for extended off-grid time, a teak cockpit that ages beautifully, and navigation gear built into the cockpit so you're not hunched below deck plotting courses.

Genuine value at this price. At €1,530 per week from a five-star-rated operator, you're getting a reliable 2008 boat with modern conveniences and a dinghy included, which many charters charge extra for, that's competitive for a three-cabin cruiser in this condition.

One practical note: We don't have the base location listed in the data, so before booking, confirm where Aeolian Yachts operates and factor in your international travel time from the nearest airport, that'll affect your first and last days on the water.

The marina & destination

Based at Preveza Marina, in Preveza, Greece. Magellan is operated by Aeolian Yachts.

Port of Preveza

Why this is a great starting point

Preveza Marina sits at the entrance to the Ionian Sea, making it ideal for charters heading north to the Paxi islands and Corfu or south toward the Peloponnese; week 1 typically covers the sheltered waters and small anchorages between Lefkada and the Albanian coast, with consistent northerly winds favoring an initial southbound passage. The marina's position on Greece's western coast offers quick access to some of the Ionian's most protected cruising grounds, including the Echinades islands and Meganisi, all reachable within a few hours under sail.

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