Perfect for small groups. Sfakia suits families or friends wanting a relaxed 3-cabin getaway with room for six, ideal if you're mixing couples and singles without feeling cramped. The 41-footer hits that sweet spot: manageable for confident sailors, not so big you need a pro crew.

Well-equipped cruiser. She's got the practical essentials, solar panels, electric toilet, autopilot, and a bow thruster make life easier, plus a teak deck that looks the part. The bimini and cockpit cushions mean you'll actually enjoy sitting outside in Greek sun, which matters on a charter.

Strong value proposition. At €3,500/week with a modest €2,000 deposit, this 2003 Bavaria is competitively priced for a 3-cabin sailboat in the Mediterranean. You're getting established gear without paying for a newer hull, which makes sense for a summer week.

Age worth noting. She's 21 years old, so while Bavarias are well-built, factor in that systems and upholstery won't feel fresh, typical for a working charter boat at this price point. Before committing, check the recent survey and ask the operator directly about engine hours and when major systems were last serviced.

The marina & destination

Based at Port of Sfakia, in Chora Sfakion, Greece. Sfakia is operated by Notos Mare Marine Adventures.

Hora Sfakia

Why this is a great starting point

Port of Sfakia in southwestern Crete works well as a starting point for exploring the Libyan Sea coast and nearby islands. From here you can reach Gavdos Island (Greece's southernmost point) in a day sail, or cruise east along Crete's dramatic south coast towards Matala and the Messara Gulf; westward routes lead to the Paximadia Islands and the sheltered anchorages around Paleochora. Week 1 typically involves a mix of day sails between 15-30 nautical miles, with good holding in most anchorages and relatively protected waters once you move off the exposed southern shore.

Can Sfakia be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Sfakia 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 Sfakia?

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.

We'll check live availability, apply any discounts, and come back within hours.
