About this yacht
(Main Sail 2026, Bowthruster, New Bimini and Sprayhood, New Batteries)
SailChecker Expert View

Perfect for couples and small groups Deneb suits 2, 3 sailing couples or a small family wanting a relaxed week without charter crew hassle. At 12.3m with three cabins and room for seven, you've got comfortable sleeping quarters without feeling cramped in the common areas.

Well-equipped and thoughtful touches Solar panels, bow thruster, autopilot, and a holding tank mean less faffing about on the water. The teak cockpit, bimini, and snorkeling kit signal an owner who understands what makes Med sailing enjoyable, you're paying for practical comfort, not just floating accommodation.

Excellent value at this price point €1,725 per week for a 2013 Bavaria in Greece is genuinely competitive, especially with solar panels reducing your engine hours and fuel costs. The €2,500 deposit is reasonable, and Kavala Yachting's perfect 5-star rating (albeit from a small sample) is encouraging for an independent operator.

Base location matters here We don't have the exact charter base listed, but Kavala Yachting operates in Greece, likely the Aegean or northern Greek islands. Before booking, confirm the base location, whether flights from your home country connect easily to nearby airports, and what the transfer time is; some Greek bases sit 2, 3 hours from major hubs, which can eat into your charter week.

The marina & destination

Based at Kavala, in Kavala, Greece. Deneb is operated by Kavala Yachting.

Why this is a great starting point

Kavala's marina sits in northern Greece with straightforward access to the Sporades islands; week one typically involves sailing south to Skiathos, Skopelos, and Alonissos, with steady northerly winds making for reliable beam reaches. The protected waters around these islands suit mixed ability crews, and you can anchor in numerous quiet bays before returning to base or pushing further toward the Pelion coast. Note that July and August winds can be strong, so spring and autumn offer more forgiving conditions for exploring this less-crowded corner of the Aegean.

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