Solid Mid-Range Cruiser The Bavaria 40 is a proven workhorse that suits couples and small families wanting comfortable coastal cruising without premium pricing. At 12.1m with three cabins and a modern layout, it punches above its weight for week-long Mediterranean or Atlantic island hops.

Standout Kit Onboard Solar panels and a bow thruster are genuine quality-of-life features—you'll appreciate the thruster when mooring in tight spots, and the solar keeps the batteries topped up during lazy anchorages. The sprayhood and bimini make day sailing more enjoyable, and the dinghy is included, which saves you money on tender hire.

Strong Value Proposition At €1,800 per week you're getting a well-equipped, spacious cruising platform with modern conveniences. The €2,800 deposit is reasonable, and for an 2008 build that's still actively chartered, the boat appears well-maintained by the operator.

One Practical Note You'll want to confirm the exact charter base location—that detail matters hugely for flight connections and whether you're looking at a quick airport transfer or a longer journey from your nearest hub. Ask Kekeris directly about their proximity to major European airports if logistics are a factor.

The marina & destination

Based at Preveza Main Port, in Preveza, Greece. S/Y Philomila is operated by Kekeris Yachts.

Can S/Y Philomila be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter S/Y Philomila 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 S/Y Philomila?

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.
