What you'll pay

Charter pricing is famously opaque. Here's everything the operator will charge — mandatory items paid at the base, plus optional add-ons you can opt into.

Paid at the base (mandatory)

Damage Waiver (SY 44'-48') - refundable amount 650€

If you're sailing with us for more than a week, the extra waiver cost for each additional week is 50% of the standard rate. The damage waiver is excluded from racing activities. Therefore the full Security Deposit is required for these bookings. If the yacht is returned in perfect condition, we'll give you a reward credit voucher for your next charter! This is just for you (non-transferable). It's valid until the end of the year (31/12) and can be used for a trip this year or the next.

Perfect for families This Bavaria 44 suits groups of 4, 6 looking for comfort without breaking the bank. Four cabins and nine berths give you flexibility, whether you're sailing with another couple or taking the kids along.

Well-equipped cruiser Solar panels, inverter, and a chart plotter mean you can cruise independently and stay connected. The bimini, sprayhood, and cockpit cushions keep everyone comfortable in Mediterranean sun, while the dinghy lets you explore anchorages properly.

Strong value proposition At €2,577 per week with zero deposit required, this 2004 Bavaria offers genuine affordability for a bareboat of this size. You're getting a proven, spacious design without premium pricing.

Age consideration At 20 years old, ARGONAUTIS is well-maintained but not new, expect character rather than cutting-edge. Make sure your sailing experience matches bareboat requirements, since the operator's details suggest you'll be handling her yourselves.

The marina & destination

Based at Port of Avdira, in Limenas Avdiron, Greece. ARGONAUTIS is operated by Y Knot Yachting.

Why this is a great starting point

I don't have reliable specific information about Port of Avdira as a charter starting point, including its facilities, water depth, weather patterns, or typical week-1 cruising itineraries from that location. Rather than provide inaccurate details about nearby cruising grounds or prevailing conditions, I'd recommend verifying current marina specifications and charter routes directly with local operators or SailChecker's network contacts in northern Greece. If you have additional details about this marina's setup or charter operations there, I'm happy to write the summary.

Can ARGONAUTIS be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter ARGONAUTIS 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 ARGONAUTIS?

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.
