SailChecker Expert View

Perfect for groups This Bavaria 46 suits larger sailing groups or families who want comfortable accommodation without breaking the bank. With 4 cabins sleeping 10, you get genuine space and privacy compared to smaller charter yachts.

Well-equipped classic Built in 2006, Biki punches above its weight with a bow thruster, electric winches, and autopilot, essentials that make sailing easier and less physically demanding. The teak cockpit and cushions suggest the owner takes pride in her upkeep.

Strong value proposition At €2,400 per week plus a modest €2,000 deposit, this represents solid value for a 46-footer that sleeps 10. You're paying roughly €240 per person per week for a well-equipped boat, hard to beat for group charters.

One practical note The listing doesn't specify the base location, so you'll need to confirm where you're flying into and how far the marina is from the airport. That said, OceanMed is a reputable operator across Mediterranean destinations, so logistics should be straightforward once you choose your sailing region.

The marina & destination

Based at Porto Degli Argonauti, in Marina di Pisticci, Italy. Biki is operated by OceanMed Sailing.

Lido di Macchia, Marina di Pisticci MT

Why this is a great starting point

Porto Degli Argonauti in Marina di Pisticci sits on the Basilicata coast in southern Italy, offering easy access to the Ionian Sea's quieter cruising grounds. From here, week 1 typically takes you north toward the Aeolian Islands or south along the Calabrian coast; both routes reward slower sailing with reasonable daily passages of 20-40 nautical miles and shelter in small anchorages. The marina works well for bareboat crews seeking fewer crowds than the Tyrrhenian alternatives, though you'll want decent sea legs as the Ionian can run rough in summer.

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