Perfect for families The Hanse 458 suits groups of up to 10 looking for comfortable, stable cruising without fuss. With four cabins and modern 2020 build quality, it's ideal for multi-generational trips or two couples wanting proper space.

Well-equipped cruiser You get the essentials done right here, bow thruster for easy docking, autopilot for relaxed sailing, teak cockpit for that polished feel, and a dinghy included. The bimini and sprayhood mean you're protected from the elements, which matters on longer passages.

Solid value proposition At under €3,000 per week from a reputable operator like Multihull Yachting, this represents genuinely fair pricing for a modern 13.6m yacht with this inventory. The modest €700 deposit is refreshingly low-pressure.

One realistic note We don't have the charter base location in your details, so we can't comment on airport access or how convenient it is for international guests flying in. Do confirm the base location with the operator, that'll be your main logistics consideration given you're likely traveling from abroad.

The marina & destination

Based at Olympic Marina, in Lavrion, Greece. Melusine is operated by Multihull Yachting.

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.

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