SailChecker Expert View

Perfect for groups This Bavaria 51 suits families or friends wanting a spacious, well-equipped sailing yacht without breaking the bank. With 5 cabins sleeping 10, you've got genuine comfort and privacy—rare at this price point.

Smart modern touches Solar panels and an inverter mean you'll run essentials efficiently, while the bow thruster and autopilot make handling easier, especially if your crew aren't all seasoned sailors. The teak cockpit and bimini create a genuinely pleasant outdoor living space for those longer afternoon sails.

Solid value proposition At €3,600 per week you're getting a 2017 boat with good systems and five double berths—that's roughly €360 per person for a 10-person charter, hard to beat. ARCHON's perfect rating (though based on limited reviews) suggests reliable service.

One honest note The Bavaria 51 is a workhorse cruiser, not a performance machine—expect steady, safe sailing rather than thrilling speed. If your crew includes absolute beginners, factor in time to settle into the boat's handling, though the autopilot and thruster do make life easier.

The marina & destination

Based at Rhodes New Marina, in Rhodes, Greece. Guarda Che Luna is operated by ARCHON Yachting.

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