Great mid-range cruiser The Hanse 418 "Polynoe" is a solid choice for families or small groups wanting genuine comfort without breaking the bank. At 12.4 metres with three cabins sleeping eight, it punches above its weight for space and livability.

Well-equipped modern boat You're getting 2021 build quality here with thoughtful additions like solar panels, a bow thruster for tight anchorages, and an electric toilet, features that make bareboat life genuinely easier. The teak cockpit and autopilot round out a yacht that's clearly been fitted with actual cruising in mind, not just budget corners cut.

Excellent value proposition At €3,410 per week, this represents genuinely competitive pricing for a modern, three-cabin cruiser in this size bracket. The €3,000 deposit is reasonable, and the operator's perfect 5-star rating (albeit from a small sample) suggests reliable service and well-maintained kit.

One honest note With only two reviews backing that rating, you're taking a slightly smaller dataset than we'd ideally like when vetting an operator, though nothing here raises red flags. I'd recommend checking directly with MG Yachts about their cancellation policy and what "base location" covers, since that detail is missing from the listing.

The marina & destination

Based at Olympic Marina, in Lavrion, Greece. Polynoe is operated by MG Yachts.

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.

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.
