SailChecker Expert View

Perfect for larger groups The Bavaria 51 Cruiser is ideal if you're chartering with extended family or friends—five cabins and eight berths mean everyone gets comfortable sleeping quarters without feeling cramped. At 15.6m, she's substantial enough to handle week-long island-hopping without the price tag of a mega-yacht.

Well-equipped cruiser Fantasia comes with genuinely useful kit: solar panels keep you off the generator, the bow thruster makes tight anchorages stress-free, and thoughtful extras like snorkeling gear and cockpit speakers add real enjoyment to your week. The chart plotter and autopilot handle the workload on longer passages, so you're not exhausted before sunset drinks.

Solid value proposition At roughly €3,600 per week, you're paying reasonable money for a modern 51-footer that sleeps eight—that works out to under €450 per person for a full week if you've got a decent crew size. The modest €3,000 deposit is reassuring too.

One practical note Rhodes requires a long-haul flight for most SailChecker clients (typically via Athens or connecting hubs), so factor in 1–2 hours from the airport to the base when planning your trip. The yacht itself is sound, but plan your travel day accordingly if you want to leave the dock the same day you arrive.

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