SailChecker Expert View

Great family choice The Bavaria 44 "Skarape" is a solid mid-size cruiser that suits families or groups of 6–10 looking to explore Greece without breaking the bank. Four cabins sleep up to 10, though realistically you'll be most comfortable with 6–8 people who don't mind sharing bathrooms.

Well-equipped vessel This boat punches above its weight for the price—you get essentials like autopilot, chart plotter, radar, and bow thruster, plus nice-to-haves like solar panels, Wi-Fi, and a paddle board. The bimini and sprayhood mean you're protected from the Greek sun, and electric winches take the strain out of sailing.

Excellent value At €1,785/week with a modest €1,500 deposit, you're looking at one of the better deals for a 44-footer in the Mediterranean. For international guests flying into Athens or nearby, the Ionian base offers good access via a short connecting flight or scenic drive.

Age worth noting She's 20 years old, which is honest and not unusual for Greek charter fleets, but do factor in that older vessels sometimes need more patience with systems and maintenance during your week.

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