No overnight sleep

Perfect for couples The Bavaria Sport 40 is an ideal choice if you're looking for a relaxed motorboat getaway for two people, or up to four if you don't mind cosy quarters. At 12.5 meters, it's nimble enough to explore smaller waterways comfortably while still offering genuine cruising capability.

Well-equipped cruiser This boat comes with genuine practical features: bow thruster for easy maneuvering, radar and chart plotter for safe navigation, air conditioning for hot-weather comfort, and Wi-Fi to stay connected if needed. The generator and refrigeration mean you can cruise independently without constantly returning to base.

Value-conscious choice With zero deposit required and managed by Geneseas Yachting, this represents solid value for a 2009 motor cruiser in this size bracket. You're getting established operator reliability without paying premium rates for a newer vessel.

One honest note At 15+ years old, the Bavaria Sport 40 will require the usual maintenance checks any used motorboat needs, fuel systems, engine hours, and through-hull fittings deserve scrutiny before departure. Ask Geneseas directly about recent survey results and engine service history to avoid surprises mid-charter.

The marina & destination

Based at Marina Benitses, in Mpenitses, Greece. Feeling Nauti is operated by Geneseas Yachting.

Why this is a great starting point

Marina Benitses sits on Corfu's east coast and works well as a base for exploring the Ionian Islands. From here you can reach Paxos and Antipaxos within a few hours, then continue south to Lefkada and Meganisi in week one, benefiting from the reliable northerly etesian winds that funnel down the Ionian channel. The shallow, protected waters around Benitses itself suit sailors new to Greek conditions, while the nearby Albanian coast and Diapontia Islands offer quieter anchorages if you prefer to stay close.

Can Feeling Nauti be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Feeling Nauti 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 Feeling Nauti?

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.
