SailChecker Expert View

Built for families The Bavaria 50/4 CBS is ideal for groups of 4–8 people who want a comfortable, sociable sailing experience without compromising on living space. With four separate cabins and solid cruising gear, it suits mixed-age crews and those prioritising comfort over performance sailing.

Well-equipped cruiser This boat comes genuinely ready to go—solar panels, bow thruster, autopilot, and a full sprayhood mean less faffing about and more time enjoying the water. The hydraulic gangway and snorkeling kit signal a yacht that's been thoughtfully fitted for relaxed, accessible cruising rather than racing credentials.

Good value proposition At 18 years old, "Fare Niente" is honest about her age, but the modest €500 deposit and ARCHON's perfect 5-star rating suggest fair pricing and trustworthy operator standards. You're paying for practicality and reliability rather than cutting-edge newness.

Age consideration A 2006 boat means you'll occasionally encounter dated systems or cosmetic wear—not a dealbreaker for a cruiser, but worth a thorough survey notes review before committing. Confirm how recently the engine and rigging have been serviced, especially if you're flying long-haul to the base.

The marina & destination

Based at Rhodes New Marina, in Rhodes, Greece. Fare Niente is operated by ARCHON Yachting.

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