SailChecker Expert View

Ideal for families This Bavaria Cruiser 46 suits couples and small families who want comfortable cruising without sacrificing practicality. The four cabins sleep nine, so you've got space for kids or another couple, and the teak cockpit with cushions makes it genuinely pleasant to spend time on deck.

Well-equipped vessel What stands out here is the thoughtful spec: solar panels, electric toilet, bow thruster, and a sprayhood mean you're not roughing it, and the autopilot takes pressure off longer passages. The included dinghy, snorkeling kit, and outboard engine open up exploration without surprise add-ons, that's honest value building.

Strong value proposition At €2,720/week for a four-cabin 2016 Bavaria in good nick, this is competitive pricing, especially with a five-star operator and minimal deposit. For North European bases (often where these boats sit), that's a sensible charter cost for a capable family cruiser.

One practical note The charter base location isn't listed in your data, which matters for transatlantic flyers planning connections, I'd confirm airport proximity and transfer time with ARCHON directly before booking, since that's often the hidden friction for international charterers.

The marina & destination

Based at Marina Kos, in Kos, Greece. Volantis 9 is operated by ARCHON Yachting.

G. Papandreou Str

Why this is a great starting point

Marina Kos sits in the eastern Dodecanese and offers immediate access to a compact, well-protected cruising ground; you can reach Nisyros, Tilos, and Symi within day sails, with reliable northwesterly winds in summer making the return leg straightforward. The nearby Turkish coast at Marmaris lies just 40nm south, adding variety for sailors wanting to mix Greek and Turkish anchorages. First-week routes typically loop through the inner Dodecanese islands, giving you sheltered bays and short passages ideal for shake-down sailing before committing to longer distances.

Frequently asked questions
Can Volantis 9 be rented with or without a skipper?
You can charter Volantis 9 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 Volantis 9?
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.
