What you'll pay

Charter pricing is famously opaque. Here's everything the operator will charge — mandatory items paid at the base, plus optional add-ons you can opt into.

Paid at the base (mandatory)

3 weeks Damage Waiver (SY 40'-43') - refundable amount 550€

If you're sailing with us for more than a week, the extra waiver cost for each additional week is 50% of the standard rate. The damage waiver is excluded from racing activities. Therefore the full Security Deposit is required for these bookings. If the yacht is returned in perfect condition, we'll give you a reward credit voucher for your next charter! This is just for you (non-transferable). It's valid until the end of the year (31/12) and can be used for a trip this year or the next.

Ideal for families This 2024 Bavaria C42 suits families or small groups wanting a modern, well-equipped sailing yacht with serious comfort features. The three cabins and eight berths give you flexibility without feeling cramped, and the recent build year means everything runs smoothly.

Standout features The bow thruster and autopilot make handling genuinely easy, especially useful if your group includes less experienced sailors or anyone nervous about tight marina maneuvers. Thoughtful extras like the bimini, sprayhood, swimming platform, and cockpit speakers transform the sailing experience from functional to genuinely enjoyable.

Strong value proposition Zero deposit is a genuine bonus and removes friction from booking. For a 2024 boat with this specification and eight-berth capacity, the overall package represents solid value, you're paying for quality kit without unnecessary frills.

One thing to flag The base location isn't listed in your data, so before committing, confirm the airport transfer logistics from your nearest major hub (most international clients fly into regional airports rather than capitals). That said, Y Knot Yachting's reputation should guide you on whether the base location suits your travel plans.

The marina & destination

Based at Paros port, in Paros, Greece. LIMA is operated by Y Knot Yachting.

Why this is a great starting point

Paros port offers excellent access to the central Cyclades, with the nearby islands of Naxos, Antiparos, and Delos reachable within a few hours of sailing. Week one typically involves relaxed beam reaches between these islands; you'll have reliable northerly winds and sheltered anchorages at Naoussa, Drios, and around Antiparos. The port itself has good provisioning and repair facilities, making it a practical base before heading south towards Ios and Santorini or north towards Mykonos.

Can LIMA be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter LIMA 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 LIMA?

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.
