Refit 2025 | Solar Panels, Dinghy with Free Outboard Engine, Espresso Coffee Machine, Bow Thruster, Free Sup, Free Snorkeling Equipment, Extra Cushions &Sunbeds, Free 2x50m Floating Stern Lines, New Mainsail and Genoa

Perfect for families This Bavaria Cruiser 46 is an excellent choice if you're bringing kids or want straightforward, comfortable cruising rather than hardcore sailing. The four cabins sleep eight, the electric toilet and refrigeration mean genuine liveaboard comfort, and the bow thruster makes tight anchorages far less stressful than on many bareboat offerings.

Smart modern kit Solar panels, inverter, autopilot, and electric winches take the grunt work out of longer passages, you'll actually enjoy your holiday instead of wrestling the boat. The swimming platform, snorkeling gear, and SUP show the operator understands what makes a charter week memorable, and the chart plotter plus radio keep you properly equipped.

Solid value proposition At €2,542 per week with a modest €2,500 deposit, this sits in the sensible middle ground, you're not overpaying for boutique positioning, yet the boat is recent enough (2014) and well-equipped enough to feel like proper value. Electric winches and a bow thruster alone save you time and fatigue worth far more than the marginal premium here.

One honest note We can't confirm the exact charter base location from your data, which matters hugely for your transatlantic or long-haul flight logistics. Before booking, check directly with YOLO Charters how far the base is from the nearest international airport and whether airport transfers are included, that detail often tips the scales when you're flying from the US or UK.

The marina & destination

Based at Preveza Main Port, in Preveza, Greece. Aquilo is operated by YOLO Charters.

Why this is a great starting point

Preveza Main Port sits at the mouth of the Ambracian Gulf, making it an ideal launch point for exploring the Ionian Islands to the west and the protected waters of the gulf itself to the east. Week 1 typically involves sailing north toward Lefkada and Meganisi or south along the mainland coast to Zakynthos, with reliable northwesterly winds (Maestro) providing consistent sailing conditions. The marina offers good provisioning and is close enough to Athens airport for convenient transfers, though expect some swell in the outer Ionian during summer and plan accordingly for the narrow entrance channel.

Can Aquilo be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Aquilo 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 Aquilo?

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.
