Great family option The Bavaria 50 Cruiser is a solid, spacious cruiser that works brilliantly for larger groups or multi-generational family charters. Five cabins sleeping up to 10 makes it ideal if you're splitting costs with friends, and the 2022 refit means the boat's been refreshed without breaking the bank on a newer model.

Practical comfort features You get the essentials for a comfortable week afloat: teak cockpit for durability, sprayhood for protection, electric toilet, and a chart plotter for navigation. The radio-CD player and TV are nice touches for downtime, and the holding tank keeps things civilised during longer passages or anchorages.

Fair value proposition At €3,230 per week with a modest €2,500 deposit, this represents decent value if you've got a full boat to amortise costs across. You're paying for proven, reliable design rather than cutting-edge luxury, which suits practical sailors who prioritise function over flash.

One real consideration The yacht is 18 years old at base, so despite the refit it'll show its age in some finishes and systems, this isn't a showpiece, it's a workhorse. Before booking, confirm the charter base location with VASKON MARINE & YACHTING, as it wasn't listed in your data, and ask about airport transfer times from your arrival hub.

The marina & destination

Based at D-Marin Marina Lefkas, in Lefkada, Greece. Sophia refit 2022 is operated by VASKON MARINE & YACHTING.

East Shore

Why this is a great starting point

D-Marin Lefkas sits on the west coast of Lefkada, positioning you perfectly for week one exploration of the Ionian Islands; you can reach Meganisi, Scorpios, and Nidri across the channel within an hour, then push south toward Kefalonia and Ithaka. The protected waters and light northerly winds typical in summer make this an ideal launch point for less experienced sailors, while stronger crews can venture further south toward Zakynthos or explore the intricate anchorages around Paxi to the north. The marina itself offers good facilities and a reliable base for provisioning before heading into the Ionian's quieter anchorages and fjord-like inlets.

Can Sophia refit 2022 be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Sophia refit 2022 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 Sophia refit 2022?

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.
