Bow Thruster

Solid family cruiser The Bavaria Cruiser 46 is an excellent choice for groups of 4, 6 people wanting a comfortable, well-equipped sailing experience without the faffing around. With four cabins, a 2021 build, and genuinely useful kit like autopilot and bow thruster, this boat handles both relaxed cruising and confident sailing. Zen Yachting's perfect rating is a good sign, though it's based on limited feedback.

Standout conveniences You get real comfort here: solar panels mean less engine running, a teak cockpit looks and feels lovely, and the swimming platform with bimini is perfect for Mediterranean or Caribbean heat. The electric toilet, refrigerator, and sprayhood are features that make longer passages and overnight sailing genuinely pleasant rather than a compromise.

Fair pricing territory Without seeing the weekly rate, I can't judge value precisely, but a 2021 Bavaria Cruiser 46 with this specification sits in the mid-range for bareboat charter globally. The €3,000 deposit is reasonable and standard. You'll want to factor in fuel, provisioning, and whether skipper or flotilla support is available through Zen Yachting.

One honest note The charter base location isn't listed here, which matters hugely, Mediterranean, Caribbean, and Atlantic bases have very different sailing seasons, weather windows, and flight connections from the US or UK.

The marina & destination

Based at Skiathos , in Skiathos, Greece. RENEE is operated by Zen Yachting.

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 RENEE be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter RENEE 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 RENEE?

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.
