Perfect for families The Bavaria Cruiser 46 is an excellent choice if you're chartering with kids or a larger group, four cabins sleep nine comfortably, and the boat feels spacious without being overwhelming. The 2020 build means everything is modern and reliable, which matters when you're flying long-haul to get here.

Smart practical touches You get genuinely useful gear: a bow thruster makes tight anchorages stress-free, solar panels keep batteries topped up on quieter days, and the sprayhood protects the cockpit during those inevitable squalls. The chart plotter in the cockpit is exactly where you want it, and electric toilets beat manual pumps every time.

Solid value proposition At €3,744 per week with a modest €3,000 deposit, this boat punches above its weight, 14.3 metres of modern cruiser at a fair price point. JF Yachts' 4.8-star rating across nine reviews suggests consistent, professional service, which is reassuring when you're arranging a charter from abroad.

Check your base location The operator information doesn't specify which Mediterranean (or other) base this boat operates from, that detail matters for flight connections and weather windows. I'd confirm the exact location and peak season availability before committing, since popular bases fill quickly during school holidays.

The marina & destination

Based at Skiathos , in Skiathos, Greece. Irene is operated by JF Yachts .

Port by Vessta

Why this is a great starting point

Skiathos marina sits at the north gateway to the Sporades, positioning you within easy reach of the tight island cluster of Skopelos, Alonnisos, and Skyros; week one typically involves 2-4 hour hops between well-sheltered anchorages and small ports with reliable tavernas. The northwest winds that dominate summer months funnel through the islands predictably, making the return journey north straightforward. You'll find the Pelion peninsula mainland coast offers good shelter if weather turns, and provisioning at Skiathos town is straightforward before departure.

Can Irene be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Irene 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 Irene?

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.
