Solid mid-range choice The Bavaria 40 is a proven cruising design that suits couples and small groups (up to 7) who want a comfortable, well-equipped boat without premium pricing. At €2,016/week, it's genuinely good value for a 2012 yacht with modern conveniences like solar panels, bow thruster, and autopilot already fitted.

Practical standout features The sprayhood and bimini mean real comfort in variable weather, while the solar panels reduce fuel consumption and generator noise, great for peaceful anchorages. Three cabins sleep seven reasonably well, though the layout suits families or two couples better than seven solo travelers.

Fair value proposition The deposit is modest at €1,800, and the weekly rate is competitive for a 12.5-meter boat with this kit. You're paying for reliability and a known quantity rather than flashy upgrades, which appeals to practical sailers.

One honest note The 2012 vintage means systems are solid but not cutting-edge; you'll want to confirm the engine hours and condition of the sails before booking, as maintenance history matters more on a boat this age. The base location isn't listed here, so check your transfer time from your arrival airport, that can make or break a charter week logistically.

The marina & destination

Based at Nikiana Marina, in Lefkada, Greece. Vlassis is operated by All Blue.

Why this is a great starting point

Nikiana Marina sits on Lefkada's east coast, offering straightforward access to the Ionian islands' protected waters and steady northwesterly winds typical of summer conditions. Week 1 charters naturally progress south through Meganisi and Kalamos, or north toward Skorpios and Ithaca, with all anchorages lying within 15-25 nautical miles; the shallow, predictable conditions suit both experienced sailors and those returning to the water. The surrounding Ionian offers relatively short passages between islands, making it ideal for crews wanting to establish their rhythm without long overnight crossings.

Can Vlassis be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Vlassis 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 Vlassis?

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.
