Ideal for larger groups. The Bavaria Cruiser 51 is a solid choice if you're bringing friends or family, 10 berths across 5 cabins means everyone gets reasonable privacy without cramping. It's a boat built for comfortable cruising rather than racing, so expect relaxed sailing and socialising.

Well-equipped cruiser. The bow thruster is genuinely useful for tight anchorages and marina manoeuvres, while the air conditioning keeps things pleasant during warm-weather sailing. Modern essentials like the chart plotter and sprayhood are all there; this feels like a properly finished boat rather than a bargain-basement option.

Fair value proposition. At €4,158 per week, you're looking at roughly €416 per person for ten sailors, reasonable for a modern 51-footer with five cabins in 2019 condition. The operator has excellent ratings, which matters when you're chartering sight-unseen from abroad.

One practical note: You'll want to confirm the charter base location directly with Sightsea Yachting, the listing doesn't specify where she's based, which matters enormously for flight connections and transfers from your arrival airport. That 15-metre size is comfortable but not tiny, so skipper experience helps if you're planning challenging conditions.

The marina & destination

Based at Marina Kos, in Kos, Greece. Prince John is operated by Sightsea 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.

Can Prince John be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Prince John 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 Prince John?

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.
