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)

Damage Waiver (SY 44'-48') - refundable amount 650€

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.

Perfect for larger groups This 2022 Bavaria C45 is built for families or friends wanting real space, five cabins and ten berths mean no one's squeezed in like sardines. At €4,535/week with zero deposit required, it's genuinely competitive for a modern, well-equipped cruiser of this size.

Standout practical features Solar panels, bow thruster, and autopilot tick all the boxes for comfortable, hands-relaxed sailing, while the teak cockpit, bimini, and sprayhood keep you protected from Atlantic or Mediterranean weather. The full spec, chart plotter, electric toilet, dinghy, and cockpit speakers, means this boat is ready to go without surprise add-ons.

Solid value proposition For international guests flying in from the UK, US, or mainland Europe, a zero-deposit charter removes friction, and the modern build quality suggests fewer mechanical worries during your week. You're paying fair money for a spacious, dependable 2022 boat with comprehensive kit.

One gentle caveat The charter operator Y Knot Yachting doesn't appear in our standard base data, so verify their location and confirm transfer logistics from your nearest airport before booking, that matters when you're coming long-haul.

The marina & destination

Based at D-Marin Marina Lefkas, in Lefkada, Greece. ALMA LIBRE VIII is operated by Y Knot Yachting.

East Shore

Why this is a great starting point

D-Marin Lefkas sits on the west coast of Lefkada, positioning you perfectly for week one exploration of the Ionian Islands; you can reach Meganisi, Scorpios, and Nidri across the channel within an hour, then push south toward Kefalonia and Ithaka. The protected waters and light northerly winds typical in summer make this an ideal launch point for less experienced sailors, while stronger crews can venture further south toward Zakynthos or explore the intricate anchorages around Paxi to the north. The marina itself offers good facilities and a reliable base for provisioning before heading into the Ionian's quieter anchorages and fjord-like inlets.

Can ALMA LIBRE VIII be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter ALMA LIBRE VIII 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 ALMA LIBRE VIII?

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.
