About this yacht
Solar Panel, BBQ
SailChecker Expert View

Ideal for groups The Elan Impression 45.1 is a solid mid-range cruiser that sleeps up to 10 across four cabins, making it perfect for families or friends chartering together. You'll get genuine comfort without the premium price tag of larger yachts.

Well-equipped modern boat This 2020 model comes with genuinely useful features, bow thruster for easier docking, solar panels with inverter for longer off-grid cruising, autopilot, and a teak cockpit that feels more upmarket than the price suggests. The sprayhood and bimini keep you protected in unpredictable weather, and you've got a dinghy with outboard included.

Solid value proposition At around €3,557 per week with a modest €3,000 deposit, this yacht delivers respectable mid-sized boat comfort without stretching your budget. You're getting a newer boat with modern electronics and smart cruising gear, which matters on longer Mediterranean or Atlantic passages from a distant home base.

One honest note The operator has only one review on record, so there's limited feedback on their service quality or reliability, worth asking direct questions about their turnaround times and support if something needs fixing mid-charter.

The marina & destination

Based at Olympic Marina, in Lavrion, Greece. Ariadne is operated by Dynamic Sailing.

Why this is a great starting point

Olympic Marina in Lavrion sits at the southern gateway to the Saronic Gulf, giving you immediate access to the Cyclades and the sheltered island-hopping routes of the Aegean. From here, week 1 typically involves sailing southeast towards Hydra, Spetses, and Poros, with established anchorages and steady northerly winds that suit most abilities. The marina's location 45 minutes from Athens airport and proximity to less-crowded alternatives to Mykonos and Santorini makes it ideal if you want Aegean cruising without the weekend crowds of central charter bases.

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