About this yacht

SailChecker Expert View

Perfect for couples & small groups The Bavaria Cruiser 41 is an excellent mid-sized yacht that suits families or two couples looking for comfortable cruising without cramped quarters. Three cabins and seven berths give you flexibility, and at 12.3 metres, she's manageable yet spacious enough for a week-long adventure.

Well-equipped and thoughtful Altair comes with genuinely useful kit, bow thruster makes tight harbour manoeuvres easier, solar panels reduce generator noise, and the sprayhood plus bimini keep you protected from weather. The chart plotter, autopilot, and snorkelling gear suggest previous charterers have enjoyed both sailing and exploration.

Strong value proposition At €2,295 per week with zero deposit required and a 5-star operator rating (12 reviews), this represents solid value for a 2014 yacht in this size range. Istion Yachting's consistent five-star feedback is reassuring, especially important when you're flying in from abroad and can't inspect before arrival.

One practical note The base location isn't specified in the listing, so confirm exactly where you'll collect the yacht and how airport transfers work before booking. If it's in Greece or Turkey (common for Istion), factor in connecting flight time from major European hubs; most take 3, 4 hours from the UK.

Frequently asked questions
Can Altair be rented with or without a skipper?
You can charter Altair 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 Altair?
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.
