Perfect for couples or small groups The Hanse 418 is an excellent mid-sized cruiser suited to 2, 4 sailors who want comfort without the complexity of a larger vessel. At 12.4 metres with three cabins and a 2021 build, she's modern enough to be reliable yet manageable for hands-on sailing.

Well-equipped and practical Polynoe comes with genuinely useful kit, autopilot and chart plotter make navigation straightforward, the bimini and sprayhood keep you shaded and dry, and snorkeling gear is included for exploring anchorages. The teak cockpit and cushions signal a boat that's been thoughtfully fitted out for actual cruising comfort.

Solid value proposition At around €2,800 per week with a modest €2,500 deposit, this is fairly priced for a newer German-built sailboat in the Mediterranean. You're paying for quality construction and a reasonable spec without charter-company markup inflation.

One honest note The operator has only two reviews on record, so while they're both five-star, the sample size is tiny, do ask around or check independent feedback before committing. Also, the base location isn't listed here, so confirm airport transfer times and flight connections early in your planning.

The marina & destination

Based at Lavrion Marina, in Lavrion, Greece. Polynoe is operated by MEDITERRANEAN SAILING GROUP.

Lavreotiki

Why this is a great starting point

Lavrion Marina sits at the southern tip of Attica, making it ideal for charters heading into the Saronic Gulf or south towards the Cyclades; the short hop to Hydra, Spetses, and Poros typically fills week one with protected sailing and strong afternoon winds. The marina works well as a base for clients who want to avoid the crowds of Mykonos and Santorini while still accessing classic Greek island cruising with reliable northerly winds. Direct access to Athens airport logistics and straightforward day-sails to the Argo-Saronic islands mean minimal transit time before you're anchored in clear water.

Can Polynoe be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Polynoe 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 Polynoe?

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.
