With Aircondition, Bowthruster, Electric Toilets, Solar and many other equipments

Perfect for small crews. The Bavaria C42 suits families or groups of up to 7 looking for a manageable, modern sailboat without the complexity of a larger vessel. At 12.8m, she's responsive to sail yet spacious enough for genuine comfort below decks.

Well-equipped and thoughtful. Solar panels, air conditioning, and full navigation gear (autopilot, radar, chart plotter) mean you get reliability and convenience in a 2021 boat that won't nickel-and-dime you with breakdowns. The teak cockpit, bimini, and sprayhood are genuine quality-of-life additions for extended cruising.

Solid value proposition. A €3,000 deposit is reasonable, and K2 Yachting's perfect 5-star rating across their reviews is a genuine green flag, that consistency matters when you're flying internationally to meet your boat. You're getting a well-maintained, modern platform without paying big-boat prices.

One honest note: Three cabins for seven berths means tight sleeping on a multi-week trip; this works best for 4, 5 people or shorter charters where not everyone's aboard every night. Confirm the exact layout and berth sizes before booking if your group is at the upper end.

The marina & destination

Based at Tourlos Marina, in Tourlos, Greece. Melia is operated by K2 Yachting.

Why this is a great starting point

Tourlos Marina, on Mykonos, serves as an excellent base for exploring the central Cyclades; week one typically involves sailing to nearby islands such as Delos, Rhenia, and Tinos, which lie within easy day-sail distances. The marina benefits from reliable northerly winds that favour progression through the archipelago during summer months. This location works well if you want to cruise a compact, island-hopping itinerary with good provisioning and ferry infrastructure at each stop.

Can Melia be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Melia 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 Melia?

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.
