Perfect for families The Bavaria C42 suits groups of 4–8 looking for a modern, well-equipped cruiser without the complexity of larger yachts. Three cabins and eight berths make this ideal for a family or two couples wanting comfort without overcrowding.

Standout kit onboard This 2024 model comes genuinely well-appointed: bow thruster for tight anchorages, autopilot for longer passages, chart plotter in the cockpit, and thoughtful touches like a bimini and sprayhood that make day-sailing more pleasant. The dinghy, coffee maker, and fridge mean you're not roughing it.

Strong value proposition ARCHON Yachting has a perfect 5-star rating across their reviews, and a modest €500 deposit signals competitive pricing. For a brand-new Bavaria from a highly-rated operator, this represents solid value for bareboat charter.

One honest note The charter base location isn't listed here, so check where ARCHON operates before booking—proximity to major European hubs (Athens, Croatia, Mediterranean) or long-haul airport connections matters when you're flying internationally. Once you confirm the base, this boat ticks most boxes for a straightforward, enjoyable week afloat.

The marina & destination

Based at Paros port, in Paros, Greece. Lima is operated by ARCHON Yachting.

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.
