SailChecker Expert View

Perfect for larger groups The Starfish is an excellent choice if you're bringing 8, 10 people or mixing families and friends who want their own space. Six cabins on an 11-metre catamaran is generous, and the 2021 build means everything is modern and reliable.

Well-equipped and comfortable This boat ticks the boxes for leisurely cruising, solar panels keep the batteries topped up, autopilot takes the strain out of long passages, and the bimini plus sprayhood mean you're shaded and protected in most conditions. The dinghy and tender setup is handy for exploring anchorages without burning fuel.

Strong value proposition A zero deposit is refreshing and removes friction, especially for international charterers flying in from the US or Europe who don't want upfront cash tied up. You're getting a spacious, well-appointed cat with modern nav gear and creature comforts at what appears to be a sensible rate for the size and spec.

Charter base location unclear We don't have the base location listed, so we can't advise on flight connections, transfer times, or whether this is Mediterranean, Caribbean, or elsewhere. Before you commit, confirm where Y Knot Yachting operates so you can factor in your international travel logistics properly.

The marina & destination

Based at Paros port, in Paros, Greece. STARFISH is operated by Y Knot Yachting.

Why this is a great starting point

Paros port offers excellent access to the central Cyclades, with the nearby islands of Naxos, Antiparos, and Delos reachable within a few hours of sailing. Week one typically involves relaxed beam reaches between these islands; you'll have reliable northerly winds and sheltered anchorages at Naoussa, Drios, and around Antiparos. The port itself has good provisioning and repair facilities, making it a practical base before heading south towards Ios and Santorini or north towards Mykonos.

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