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)

Ready to sail package 43-46ft

Included: Cleaning, soap and toilet paper (1 per head), Bed Linen (per double cabin/week): 2 top sheets, 1 bottom sheet, 2 pillowcases, 2 quilts Towels (per person/week): 1 face towel, 1 bath towel, 2 Gas Bottles (one in full), Mooring fees (first and last day at our Pier or birth in the port), Electricity consumption at the base (first and last night), water refilling (first and last)

€270 per rental mandatory

Dinghy and outboard engine 2,5hp

Included mandatory

Damage waivier for reduced security deposit (up to 2 weeks - till 2018)

The Damage Waiver reduces your financial liability in the event of damage to the yacht, loss or damage to ancillary equipment, or damage caused by a third party during your charter. Non-refundable: The Damage Waiver is not refundable under any circumstances. The refundable deposit covers any damage or loss over the damage waiver amount, and the customer's total financial liability will not exceed the amount of the damage waiver and the refundable deposit. Coverage: It covers any loss or accident involving the yacht, its equipment, or a third party, including all risks of damage or theft, whether due to negligence or malicious intent by the skipper or clients. Indemnification: It indemnifies all parties involved in all cases. Additional Weeks: For any additional week of the charter, an extra Damage Waiver charge will apply, amounting to half of the standard Damage Waiver cost. The payment of either the Refundable Security Deposit or the Damage Waiver applies solely to one major incident at a time. Suppose there is a loss or damage to high-value equipment (such as an outboard engine or dinghy, sails, mast). In that case, the Charterer has the right to a replacement or repair, on the condition that a new Refundable Security Deposit is paid promptly upon receiving the replacement or completion of the repair.

€300 per rental mandatory

One-Way fee Keramoti-Volos / Volos-Keramoti (the possibility of one-way should be confirmed by the office)

€800 per rental mandatory

Refundable security deposit

Held at check-in (card pre-auth or bank transfer), refunded after charter if the yacht is returned without damage. Deposit-waiver insurance is one of the optional extras below — reduces the held amount in exchange for a smaller non-refundable premium.

Bavaria 44 is a cruiser-racer boat, built in 2002 and rebuilt in 2017 and 2022. The large cockpit and decks are the first thing you notice when you step aboard. Easy to walk around, with a comfortable interior. Bavaria 44 features 3 double cabins and 1 bunk bed, along with 2 WC. The saloon table is converted into a bed. Perfect for big companies, offers great sailing performance, especially beam-reach and downwind.

Perfect for groups This Bavaria 44 is an excellent choice if you're chartering with family or friends, four cabins sleep up to 10, so costs per person drop nicely on a shared charter. The 2002 build means she's proven and well-established in the fleet, with plenty of real-world feedback from past charters.

Smart sailing features Electric winches and autopilot take the hard work out of handling this 13.9-metre boat, especially valuable if your crew has mixed sailing experience. The teak cockpit, bimini, and cushions suggest she's set up for comfortable cruising rather than racing, with the sprayhood keeping you dry in rougher conditions.

Strong value proposition At €2,250 per week with only a €500 deposit, this represents solid value for a four-cabin cruiser, particularly if you split costs across four couples. You're getting equipped essentials (dinghy included) without paying for flashy modern gadgetry.

One honest note At 22 years old, she'll need diligent pre-charter inspection and realistic expectations about interior condition and systems reliability. Check the surveyor's report carefully, and factor in potential mechanical quirks that come with boats of this age.

The marina & destination

Based at Keramoti, in Keramoti - Kavala, Greece. Calypso is operated by NorthSailing.

Why this is a great starting point

Keramoti sits on the Thracian coast near Kavala, offering straightforward access to the northern Sporades and nearby Turkish waters. From here, week one typically involves island-hopping through Thassos and Samothraki before pushing south toward Skiathos, with consistent northerly winds making the southbound run reliable. The marina works well for charters seeking quieter, less-crowded islands than the central Aegean, though the season is shorter and ferry schedules mean careful planning around local traffic.

Can Calypso be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Calypso 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 Calypso?

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.
