Great family choice The Hanse 455 "Swell" is an excellent mid-sized cruiser for families or small groups wanting comfort without complexity. Four cabins sleeping ten makes it ideal if you're gathering friends or extended family for a shared charter experience.

Smart practical features You get genuinely useful kit here, solar panels reduce engine running, the bow thruster makes tight anchorages easier, and the sprayhood keeps the helm crew dry on bumpier days. Autopilot and dinghy are standard essentials that make cruising feel less like work.

Solid value proposition At €3,690 per week with a modest €2,500 deposit, this 2016 Hanse represents fair pricing for a well-equipped four-cabin boat. You're getting proven German build quality without paying for a newer model's premium.

One fair caveat The operator has only one review on record, so you're taking more of a leap on service consistency than you would with an established charter company with dozens of feedback ratings. That said, their 5/5 mark is a good sign, just worth doing your own due diligence before committing.

The marina & destination

Based at Lavrion Main Port, in Lavrion, Greece. Swell is operated by South Sea Sail .

Akti Papandreou Andrea

Why this is a great starting point

Lavrion is a working commercial port southeast of Athens with good road access from the capital, making it convenient for fly-in charters. From here you can reach the Saronic Gulf islands (Aegina, Poros, Hydra) within a day's sail, or head south towards the Cyclades with steady northerly winds; week one typically takes you to Kea, Kythnos, or Serifos depending on conditions. The port itself is functional rather than resort-like, but offers reasonable facilities and a practical base for exploring some of Greece's most accessible sailing grounds.

Can Swell be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Swell 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 Swell?

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.
