Perfect for couples or small groups The Bavaria C42 is an excellent mid-size cruiser that suits families or groups of 4–6 looking for comfort without complexity. At 12.4 metres with three cabins and genuinely usable berths, you'll have breathing room that larger parties won't find at this price point.

Smart features for independence The bow thruster and electric toilet are genuine quality-of-life additions, and solar panels plus air conditioning mean you can stay comfortable at anchor for days. A chart plotter in the cockpit and sprayhood are exactly what you want for practical sailing in changeable weather—no faffing about below decks to navigate.

Strong value proposition At €2,700 per week with a modest €2,000 deposit, this boat offers serious bang for money, especially given the 2022 build year and the 4.8-star operator rating. JF Yachts clearly maintains their fleet well and keeps their clients happy.

One honest note We don't have the base location in the data provided, so before booking, confirm the charter base's proximity to your arrival airport—transfer time and availability of English-speaking support matter when you're flying long-haul. A quick call to JF Yachts will clarify everything and likely give you confidence they're worth booking with.

The marina & destination

Based at Alimos Marina, in Athens, Greece. Aeolus is operated by JF Yachts .

Poseidonos Avenue

Can Aeolus be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Aeolus 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 Aeolus?

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.
