About this yacht
Air-conditioning in saloon, Bow thruster
SailChecker Expert View

Perfect for groups The Bavaria C42 is ideal if you're bringing friends or family, eight berths across three cabins mean everyone gets reasonable space without feeling cramped, and the €4,135/week price splits nicely among four couples. It's a genuinely practical boat for a proper holiday rather than just a floating hotel room.

Smart, modern setup You're getting the essentials done right: autopilot and bow thruster take stress out of sailing (especially useful if anyone's newer to it), while the chart plotter keeps navigation straightforward. The bimini and sprayhood protect you from sun and spray, and cockpit speakers add a social touch, these aren't luxury extras, they're exactly what makes extended time aboard actually enjoyable.

Honest value equation At this price point, you're paying fairly for a new-build 2026 boat with solid equipment and no deposit required. You're not overpaying for frills, but you're also not getting butler service or exotic locations, this is honest, unpretentious sailing value.

One practical note The base location isn't specified in the data, so before booking, confirm where Y Knot Yachting operates and factor in your flight logistics from home, international transfer times and whether English-speaking support is available definitely matter when you're flying long-haul with a group.

The marina & destination

Based at D-Marin Marina Gouvia, in Gouvia, Greece. ABBIE is operated by Y Knot Yachting.

Tzavros

Why this is a great starting point

D-Marin Gouvia sits on Corfu's east coast with easy access to the Ionian Islands; week 1 typically takes you south toward Lefkada and Kefalonia, with consistent northerly winds (Etesians) pushing you downwind through protected anchorages and narrow channels. The marina's sheltered location and full facilities make it ideal for crews adjusting to Greek sailing, and you can reach Paxos, Antipaxos, or the Patrasso approaches within 2-3 days of departure. The relatively short passages and abundance of small island anchorages suit mixed-ability crews, though northerly wind patterns mean most first-week itineraries favour southbound sailing.

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