SailChecker Expert View

Perfect for groups This 50.5-footer sleeps up to 12 across six cabins, making it an excellent choice for extended families or friends wanting to split costs and sail together. The layout works well for week-long Mediterranean adventures where everyone gets their own bunk.

Well-equipped vessel Orion IV comes with genuinely useful kit: bow thruster for tight anchorages, solar panels and inverter for off-grid comfort, autopilot for longer passages, and a chart plotter for navigation. The bimini provides essential sun protection in southern waters, and the electric toilet saves manual pumping fatigue.

Honest value proposition At €2,881 per week with a modest €2,500 deposit, this is competitive pricing for a six-cabin cruiser—especially since group charters divide costs dramatically. The 5-star operator rating (though based on just four reviews) suggests reliable service, though you'll want to confirm the base location since it's not listed here.

One realistic caveat A 2009 boat with 12 berths means tight cabin quarters; expect cosy rather than luxurious sleeping arrangements. If anyone in your party values spacious ensuite cabins over value-for-money group sailing, look at smaller four-cabin alternatives instead.

The marina & destination

Based at Port of Volos, in Volos, Greece. Orion IV is operated by DEDA Sailing - Sailing Holidays Hub.

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