What you'll pay

Tourist tax
Regulated rate, charged by the marina (not the operator).
€1.33 per person per day mandatory
Refundable security deposit

SailChecker Expert View

Perfect for families The Bavaria Cruiser 50 is a solid mid-size cruiser that suits families or small groups wanting comfort without complexity. With 4 cabins and sleeping for 9, you've got genuine flexibility for multi-generational trips or friends sharing costs.

Practical cruising setup She's well-equipped for real sailing: bow thruster and autopilot take the stress out of tight anchorages and longer passages, while the chart plotter keeps navigation straightforward. The bimini and sprayhood mean you can actually enjoy time on deck in variable weather—a real comfort feature that makes the difference on week-long charters.

Honest value question At 2005 vintage, "Aphrodite" is approaching 20 years old, so condition matters enormously here. Without seeing the boat's maintenance history, it's hard to judge whether she's a bargain or carrying hidden costs. The €1,500 deposit is reasonable, but clarify the full weekly rate before committing—older Bavarias can range wildly depending on how well they've been looked after.

Missing key detail We don't have the charter base location listed, which matters when you're flying internationally to reach her. Once you confirm where Ace Yachting operates from, check your nearest major airport and factor in ground transfer time—that often decides whether a charter location works logistically.

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