This yacht features brand‑new sails (2026), offering a premium sailing experience. Spring ’26 Offer: up to 50% off for departures through Saturday, 25 April 2026. Limited availability.

Perfect family choice. The Bavaria Cruiser 51 is a spacious, well-proven design that comfortably sleeps 12 across five cabins , ideal for larger groups or multi-family charters who want everyone to sleep onboard rather than rotating shifts. At 15.6 metres, she's substantial enough to feel stable and roomy, yet still manageable for mixed-experience crews.

Smart practical design. Bavaria built their Cruiser line for real-world cruising, so you get solid build quality, intuitive handling, and reliable systems rather than flashy extras. The 2018 build year means she's modern enough to have decent electronics and comfortable interiors, but proven enough that any teething problems are sorted.

Excellent value proposition. At €3,127 per week with a reasonable €3,600 deposit, this yacht delivers strong value for the sleeping capacity and build pedigree , you're paying per-person rates comparable to much smaller boats. For groups splitting costs, the maths works really well.

One realistic note: With 12 berths across five cabins, some cabins will be compact and you'll have limited privacy on a full booking. This is brilliant for active families or friends who don't mind tight quarters, but less ideal if you're after intimate luxury or have guests who need solo cabins.

The marina & destination

Based at Alimos Marina, in Athens, Greece. Leonidas V is operated by SailWays.

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 Leonidas V be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Leonidas V 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 Leonidas V?

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.
