SailChecker Expert View

Perfect for groups The Bavaria 45 suits families and friend groups wanting comfortable cruising without breaking the bank—four cabins sleep ten, so costs per person drop nicely when you split the charter. She's a proven design with solid build quality, so you're getting reliability rather than glitz.

Practical cruising kit The bow thruster and autopilot handle the everyday work, while solar panels keep you topped up between ports without running the engine constantly. Bimini and sprayhood mean you're protected from the Ionian sun and spray—genuinely useful in Greek sailing.

Solid value proposition At 2011 vintage she's mature enough to be well-sorted, and the €2,000 deposit is reasonable. You're getting a capable, no-nonsense boat for sensible money rather than paying premium rates for a newer vessel.

One realistic note The outboard engine is fine for auxiliary power, but confirm fuel range and charging performance with Sailing Ionian Sea before you book—older auxiliaries can be thirsty, especially if your group plans longer passages. The TV kit listed seems oddly specific; focus your questions on navigation systems and safety gear instead.

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