Perfect for families The Bavaria 51 Cruiser is an excellent choice for multi-generational family groups or friends wanting serious sleeping capacity, 10 berths across 5 cabins mean everyone gets their own space. The 2019 build and comprehensive equipment list signal a well-maintained, modern vessel that won't require you to rough it.

Standout practical features Solar panels, bow thruster, and cockpit autopilot remove a lot of the physical demands from cruising, which is brilliant if you're mixing experienced sailors with less-confident crew. The inclusion of snorkeling kit, dinghy, and outboard means you're genuinely equipped for exploring anchorages and shallow bays without hiring extras.

Strong value proposition With a 5/5 operator rating and only a €500 deposit, ARCHON Yachting appears reliable and trustworthy, that low security fee suggests confidence in their fleet condition. For a modern, well-equipped five-cabin boat, pricing through them should represent solid value against comparable charters.

One honest note The charter base location isn't listed in your data, so I can't advise on airport transfers or flight connections from your home region. Before booking, confirm the base location with ARCHON and factor in your travel logistics, international flights to some Mediterranean bases can add meaningful time to your journey.

The marina & destination

Based at D-Marin Marina Lefkas, in Lefkada, Greece. Prince Nikolaos is operated by ARCHON 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 Prince Nikolaos be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Prince Nikolaos 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 Prince Nikolaos?

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.
