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 53'- above) - refundable amount 1000€

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.

Who it suits This Bavaria is perfect for larger groups or multi-family charters looking to split costs, 10 berths across 5 cabins means you're getting genuine space and privacy without astronomical per-person weekly rates around €760 each. It's ideal if you want a modern, well-equipped boat that handles both serious sailing and comfortable cruising without needing a captain's license in most European waters.

Standout features For 2021 build quality, you're getting genuinely useful kit: bow thruster and autopilot make handling easier in tight spots, the water maker and solar panels suggest decent self-sufficiency, and air conditioning plus a generator keep everyone comfortable in hot climates. The teak cockpit and bimini add that touch of refinement, while the sprayhood means you're not getting soaked on passage.

Value for money At €7,593/week, this is competitive mid-range pricing for a modern Bavaria of this size, especially with zero deposit required, which removes friction for international charterers flying in. You're paying for a newish, well-maintained boat with proper systems rather than cutting corners, which typically pays dividends on longer charters.

One honest note The operator details are missing from your listing, so I'd verify directly with Y Knot Yachting about their base location, how far it is from your nearest international airport, and their handover process for non-local charterers. That'll help you factor in travel time and whether they offer reliable airport transfers.

The marina & destination

Based at Alimos Marina, in Athens, Greece. PROMITHEAS is operated by Y Knot Yachting.

Poseidonos Avenue

Why this is a great starting point

Alimos Marina sits just south of Athens, offering straightforward access to the Saronic Gulf's island-hopping routes; week one typically involves sailing to nearby Aegina, Poros, and Hydra, with predictable northerly winds in summer making these 15-30 nautical mile passages reliable for mixed-ability crews. The protected anchorages and short hops suit charter clients recovering from long-haul flights, while the marina's proximity to Athens airport (30 minutes by car) minimizes transfer time. Alimos itself has full facilities and is a logical base for exploring the sheltered Saronic islands before pushing further south toward the Peloponnese if conditions allow.

Can PROMITHEAS be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter PROMITHEAS 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 PROMITHEAS?

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.
