Perfect for families The Bavaria 46 Cruiser suits groups of 4, 8 looking for a comfortable, well-equipped sail experience without breaking the bank. Four cabins and solid cruising kit make this a genuine family-friendly option.

Standout practical features Solar panels, bow thruster, and a full sprayhood keep life aboard easy and enjoyable, especially useful in variable Ionian weather. The chart plotter and inverter mean you're genuinely self-sufficient for longer passages, and a dinghy with outboard opens up anchorages the bigger boats can't reach.

Excellent value proposition At €1,920 per week with just a €2,000 deposit, this Bavaria undercuts a lot of comparable 4-cabin cruisers in the Greek islands charter market. You're getting 2008 build quality (proven platform) at a price point that leaves budget for provisioning and experiences.

One practical note The operator has only one review on record, so while the 5/5 rating is positive, you won't have the historical feedback trail longer-established operators offer. Worth asking Aiolos directly about their maintenance schedule and recent refit work before committing, especially given the boat's 2008 vintage.

The marina & destination

Based at Zante, in Zakynthos , Greece. Lila is operated by Aiolos Zante.

Why this is a great starting point

Zante Marina in Zakynthos sits at the southern gateway to the Ionian Islands, offering immediate access to close cruising grounds ideal for week one: the nearby islets of Laganas Bay, Marathonisi, and short hops north toward Kefalonia and Ithaca. The prevailing northwesterly winds typical in summer allow comfortable beam reaches toward these classic Ionian destinations, with protected anchorages and small villages within 10-20 nautical miles. Based here, you can explore Byzantine monasteries, limestone cliffs, and turtle nesting beaches while building rhythm as a crew before longer passages north.

Can Lila be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Lila 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 Lila?

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.
