Ideal for families The Bavaria Cruiser 40 is a brilliant choice if you're chartering with kids or a mixed group of eight—three cabins give everyone reasonable privacy, and the relaxed cruising platform suits varied sailing experience levels. The bow thruster and electric winches mean even less experienced sailors can handle her confidently.

Well-equipped vessel You're getting genuinely useful kit here: autopilot, chart plotter, heating (handy for shoulder seasons), and a swimming platform with diving gear included. The bimini sun cover is a real comfort add-on that often costs extra elsewhere, and a working fridge matters more than people think on longer charters.

Outstanding value proposition At under €2,100 per week all-in, this represents excellent value for a three-cabin cruising yacht with the equipment spec listed. The €2,000 deposit is reasonable, and DEDA's perfect 5-star rating across their reviews suggests reliable, hassle-free service—important when you're flying intercontinental to collect the boat.

One practical note She's a 2008 model, so while Bavaria builds robust boats, you might encounter the odd system needing attention on a longer charter; confirm any pre-charter survey details and spares availability with DEDA upfront to avoid surprises once you've arrived at the base.

The marina & destination

Based at Port of Volos, in Volos, Greece. Santana is operated by DEDA Sailing - Sailing Holidays Hub.

Can Santana be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Santana 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 Santana?

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.
