SailChecker Expert View

Perfect for couples or small groups. This Bavaria 43 is ideal if you're after a comfortable, easy-to-handle cruiser without breaking the bank, great for mixed sailing abilities since the autopilot and chart plotter handle a lot of the heavy lifting.

Well-equipped for the job. You get solid cruising essentials: bimini and sprayhood for sun/weather protection, dinghy for exploring anchorages, and cockpit speakers to make those lazy afternoons even better. The three cabins sleep seven comfortably, though you're looking at cosy shared spaces rather than luxury.

Genuinely good value. At €2,914 per week with zero deposit required, this represents excellent bang for your buck in the cruising market, especially if you're flying internationally and want no financial friction at the handover.

One practical note: The base location isn't specified in your details, so I'd recommend confirming where AQUA DREAM operates and how close the charter base is to a major international airport; that'll matter for your flight connections and transfer logistics from wherever you're flying in from.

The marina & destination

Based at Nea Peramos, in Nea Peramos - Attica, Greece. AQUA DREAM is operated by Y Knot Yachting.

Why this is a great starting point

Nea Peramos lies 35km south of Athens, offering straightforward access to the central Saronic Gulf and Peloponnese. Week 1 charters typically explore nearby Hydra, Spetses, and Poros, with reliable northerly winds providing consistent sailing conditions to these island ports. The location works well for clients arriving at Athens airport who want immediate cruising without a long delivery passage.

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