Perfect for small crews This Elan 40 suits groups of 4–6 sailors who want a manageable, well-equipped boat without the complexity or cost of larger vessels. She's a proven design from 2004 with three cabins and solid core systems already in place.

Practical, comfortable setup The standout features here are the essentials done right: autopilot, chart plotter in the cockpit, sprayhood, and bimini mean you're protected and can navigate hands-free when conditions allow. A dinghy and refrigerator round out a genuinely liveable charter experience.

Strong value proposition At €1820 per week with only a €2000 deposit, this boat delivers serious bang for money—you're getting a 12-meter cruiser with navigation kit and comfort gear included, not stripped to the bones. For transatlantic flyers, that makes the economics of a Mediterranean or Atlantic-coast charter very attractive.

One honest note: The 2004 build age is nothing to worry about on a well-maintained Elan, but you'll want to confirm the condition of through-hull fittings and electronics during your pre-charter walk-around—a boat this price shouldn't cut corners on safety gear or systems.

The marina & destination

Based at Kavala, in Kavala, Greece. Ipsipili is operated by Aegeas Yachting.

Can Ipsipili be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Ipsipili 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 Ipsipili?

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.
