A/C, Bow Thruster, Coffee Maker,TV ** Volos or Skiathos **

Ideal for families Blue-D suits groups of up to 10 who want comfort without sacrificing sailing performance. The four cabins spread across 14.3 metres mean reasonable privacy, and that 2022 build year suggests well-maintained systems and modern electronics.

Standout creature comforts This Bavaria punches above its weight with air conditioning, solar panels, electric toilet, and a proper teak deck, these aren't standard on every charter boat this size. The swimming platform and dinghy make beach stops genuinely enjoyable, and the bow thruster takes stress out of tight anchorages.

Good value proposition At €3,000 deposit with a flawless 5/5 operator rating (albeit from a small sample), Aquatrotters appears reliable. You're getting a newer, well-equipped boat without paying superyacht prices, which appeals to international charterers crossing time zones to get here.

Missing one detail The base location isn't listed in your data, so we can't advise on airport proximity or seasonal wind patterns yet. Once you know where this yacht sits, you'll want to confirm flight connections and whether summer availability aligns with your schedule.

The marina & destination

Based at Port of Volos, in Volos, Greece. Blue-D is operated by Aquatrotters.

Why this is a great starting point

Volos sits at the gateway to the Sporades islands, making it ideal for week-one cruising to Skiathos, Skopelos, and Alonissos with consistent northerly winds; the crossing to these islands typically takes 4-8 hours depending on your chosen anchorage. The marina offers good facilities and the Pelion peninsula provides a scenic backdrop, though expect the meltemi wind to strengthen as the season progresses. From here you can also explore the quieter Evia coast to the south or venture north towards Thassos if conditions allow, giving you flexibility for a relaxed first week of chartering.

Can Blue-D be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Blue-D 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 Blue-D?

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.
