SailChecker Expert View

Family-friendly classic The Cyclades 43.4 is a solid mid-sized cruiser that suits families or small groups after a relaxed Aegean sailing experience. With four cabins sleeping eight, it offers decent space without feeling cramped, though at 13.2 metres, you're looking at sensible, unpretentious cruising rather than luxury.

Standout strength This is a proven boat design that's been chartering reliably since 2007, meaning the vessel will be well-maintained and forgiving for mixed-ability crews. The four-cabin layout is practical for groups splitting costs, making per-person expenses very reasonable.

Excellent value proposition At €2114 per week (roughly £1800/$2300 USD), this represents genuinely honest pricing for a Greek-based charter, you're getting a dependable boat without paying for newness or boutique branding. The €2000 deposit is refreshingly modest too.

Fair caveat Being a 2007 build means the interior and systems are dated by today's standards, don't expect modern finishes or the latest navigation kit. If your crew values contemporary comfort and smart amenities, you might want to compare newer boats in the same price bracket, though you'll likely sacrifice either space or value.

The marina & destination

Based at Marina Delta Kallithea, in Athens, Greece. Estera is operated by Greek Stars.

Why this is a great starting point

Marina Delta Kallithea sits in the northern suburbs of Athens, offering straightforward access to the Saronic Gulf and Argo-Saronic islands. From here, week 1 typically covers the short hops to Aegina, Poros, and Hydra, with gentle beam reaches and consistent northerly winds making these protected waters ideal for building rhythm after your long flight. The marina itself handles logistics well for charter start-up, though you trade proximity to Athens city centre for easier passage toward the southern Peloponnese.

Frequently asked questions
Can Estera be rented with or without a skipper?
You can charter Estera 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 Estera?
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.
