Speed, safety, comfort - these words tell you everything you need to know about our newest yacht - Bavaria 51 Crusier 2016. In 2019 the boat has been equipped with AIS, Navtex and handheld VHF - SOLAS convention. In 2023 we installed a watermaker.
Five double cabins, all of them equipped with electric fans, ensuring comfortable sailing for 10 people. In the budget version 2 persons can sleep in the saloon. At the same time for sailors that expect more luxury we can easily change Ekavi in to 3 cabin yacht, with one really big bow cabin.

Equipped for ocean passages e.g. WATERMAKER, NAVTEX, AIS CLASS A

Perfect for groups This Bavaria Cruiser 51 is ideal if you're chartering with friends or family, five cabins sleeping 12 means everyone gets their own bunk without breaking the bank per person. At 15 metres, she's spacious enough to feel comfortable on a week-long voyage without being unwieldy to sail.

Well-equipped cruiser You're getting solid spec here: electric winches make handling easy, a bow thruster takes stress out of tight anchorages, and the swimming platform plus snorkeling gear are perfect for Mediterranean or Caribbean exploration. Solar panels and a decent galley setup suggest she's ready for genuine cruising, not just day sailing.

Strong value proposition The €3,000 deposit is reasonable, and for a 2016 Bavaria with those cabins and a teak deck, you're looking at fair pricing for bareboat charter, especially if you split costs across a larger group. She delivers practicality without luxury pricing.

One heads-up The outboard engine is functional but not ideal for a 15-metre yacht; you'll want to plan passages carefully and rely more on sail than you might with an inboard. Also, confirm the charter base location with Rinia Yachting, it's not listed here, so factor in flight connections once you've locked in your destination.

The marina & destination

Based at Alimos Marina, in Athens, Greece. Ekavi is operated by Rinia Yachting.

Poseidonos Avenue

Why this is a great starting point

Alimos Marina sits just south of Athens, offering straightforward access to the Saronic Gulf's island-hopping routes; week one typically involves sailing to nearby Aegina, Poros, and Hydra, with predictable northerly winds in summer making these 15-30 nautical mile passages reliable for mixed-ability crews. The protected anchorages and short hops suit charter clients recovering from long-haul flights, while the marina's proximity to Athens airport (30 minutes by car) minimizes transfer time. Alimos itself has full facilities and is a logical base for exploring the sheltered Saronic islands before pushing further south toward the Peloponnese if conditions allow.

Can Ekavi be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Ekavi 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 Ekavi?

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.
