Perfect for families The Cyclades 43.4 is an ideal choice for families or small groups wanting a comfortable, manageable sailing experience. With four cabins and eight berths, you've got sleeping room without excessive complexity, great for a week exploring the Greek islands with kids or extended friends.

Smart, practical setup This boat comes well-equipped for extended cruising: solar panels keep you independent from shore power, an ice maker means proper drinks, and the inverter handles your tech needs. The inclusion of a dinghy is genuinely useful for anchoring in remote spots and exploring shallow bays.

Solid value proposition At 2008 vintage and 13.2 meters, the Cyclades punches well above its weight for families, you get genuine living space without paying superyacht prices. A €2,000 deposit is reasonable and suggests competitive positioning from Ares Sailing.

One practical note At 43 feet, this boat does require decent sailing experience or a skipper hire; it's not a bareboat for absolute beginners. Factor in skipper costs (typically €150, 250 daily) if your group isn't confident, which will affect your overall charter budget.

The marina & destination

Based at Gumbet Limani, in Bodrum, Turkey. Classic is operated by Ares Sailing.

Eskicesme, Dayillar Sk.

Why this is a great starting point

Gumbet marina sits on Turkey's Aegean coast just west of Bodrum, offering immediate access to the Greek Islands and the sheltered bays of the Bodrum Peninsula. From here, week 1 typically involves gentle sailing to nearby destinations like Turgutreis, Bitez, and the islands of Symi and Panormitis, with the Aegean's prevailing northwesterly winds (etesian) providing reliable beam reaches. The shallow, protected waters and numerous anchorages make this an ideal starting point for building sea legs before venturing further south towards Dalyan or northwest towards Marmaris.

Can Classic be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Classic 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 Classic?

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.

We'll check live availability, apply any discounts, and come back within hours.
