Perfect for small groups Kipawa II suits families or friends wanting a comfortable 3-cabin weekender without excessive crew or complexity. With 7 berths across 14 metres, you get genuine living space rather than bunks crammed into a hull.

Well-equipped package This 2020 Bavaria ticks the boxes: bow thruster makes tight anchorages manageable, autopilot takes the strain on longer passages, and thoughtful extras like the sprayhood, bimini, and snorkeling kit signal an operator who understands bareboat charter comfort. The chart plotter and electric toilet are genuine conveniences you'll appreciate daily.

Solid value proposition ARCHON Yachting's 5-star rating (admittedly on a small sample) combined with a modest €500 deposit suggests fair pricing and genuine operator confidence in the vessel's condition. For a modern, well-maintained 45-footer in this class, that's encouraging.

One practical note: The base location isn't specified in your data, so I'd confirm flight connectivity and transfer logistics before booking, charter costs can vanish into airport chaos if you're flying 12+ hours from the US or northern Europe. Ask ARCHON directly about their base location and airport proximity; that detail matters more than the boat's kit when you're crossing time zones.

The marina & destination

Based at D-Marin Marina Gouvia, in Gouvia, Greece. Kipawa II is operated by ARCHON Yachting.

Why this is a great starting point

D-Marin Gouvia sits on Corfu's east coast with easy access to the Ionian Islands; week 1 typically takes you south toward Lefkada and Kefalonia, with consistent northerly winds (Etesians) pushing you downwind through protected anchorages and narrow channels. The marina's sheltered location and full facilities make it ideal for crews adjusting to Greek sailing, and you can reach Paxos, Antipaxos, or the Patrasso approaches within 2-3 days of departure. The relatively short passages and abundance of small island anchorages suit mixed-ability crews, though northerly wind patterns mean most first-week itineraries favour southbound sailing.

Can Kipawa II be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Kipawa II 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 Kipawa II?

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.
