The charter fee covers the yacht, standard equipment, and insurance. Cleaning, tourist tax, and any optional extras (skipper, paddle board, etc.) are billed at the base — we confirm the full breakdown when you request a quote.
Charter pricing is famously opaque. Here's everything the operator will charge — mandatory items paid at the base, plus optional add-ons you can opt into.
Who it suits This is a fantastic choice for families or small groups (4, 8 people) wanting a modern, well-equipped sailing yacht without breaking the bank. At 12.4 metres with three cabins, you get comfortable sleeping quarters plus enough deck space to actually enjoy yourselves, no cramped quarters syndrome here.
Standout features The 2020 Hanse 418 is a seriously capable boat: bow thruster and autopilot make handling genuinely stress-free, while solar panels keep you self-sufficient at anchor. The teak cockpit, bimini, and sprayhood transform the outside into a proper living space, and Hermes Yachting's perfect 5-star rating (21 reviews) tells you they maintain their fleet properly.
Value for money At €3,600 per week, you're getting excellent value for a modern three-cabin boat in this size range. The inclusion of a dinghy, snorkeling kit, and quality extras like cockpit speakers and chart plotter (plus a backup) means you're not nickel-and-dimed on the essentials.
One honest note We'd need to know the base location to advise on airport connections and whether it suits your travel logistics, that €800 deposit is very reasonable, but confirm how far you're flying to reach the boat before booking.

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.
