Who it suits: This is a solid choice for families or small groups wanting a spacious, well-equipped sailing boat without breaking the bank. With 5 cabins and room for 10, you've got flexibility for multi-generational trips or friends' holidays.

Standout features: The Bavaria 50 punches above its weight with bow thruster, autopilot, and chart plotter, all things that make life easier when you're managing a bigger boat. Solar panels, snorkeling kit, and a decent inventory (sprayhood, bimini, cockpit cushions) suggest the owner actually thinks about comfort and practicality.

Value proposition: At €2,551 per week with a modest €2,000 deposit, you're getting a 15-metre boat at a genuinely competitive rate. For groups, the per-person cost splits very favourably compared to newer or smaller alternatives.

One heads-up: She's 16 years old, so while the spec looks good, do ask Main Sailing specifically about recent engine hours, when the rig was last serviced, and whether she's been regularly maintained. A pre-charter survey chat is worth your time before committing.

The marina & destination

Based at Nikiana Marina, in Lefkada, Greece. Paolo is operated by Main Sailing.

Can Paolo be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Paolo 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 Paolo?

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.
