Perfect for groups This Hanse 540e comfortably sleeps up to 10 across five cabins, making it ideal for families or friends looking to share costs on a week-long Greek sailing adventure. At €2,800 per week, the per-person spend becomes very reasonable for larger parties.

Well-equipped vessel You're getting serious kit here, electric winches make handling easier, solar panels keep batteries topped up during long anchoring days, and the sprayhood means you can sail in comfort. The teak deck and chart plotter in the cockpit add both practicality and that classic sailing feel.

Solid value overall A 16.1-meter yacht from 2008 with this spec and a low €3,000 deposit represents fair pricing for the Eastern Mediterranean charter market. For US or UK clients flying into Athens, Sailing Yachts Greece's base location offers convenient access without extensive overland transfers.

One realistic note: With 10 berths, sleeping arrangements will be snug, this boat works best when everyone actually knows and gets along with each other. If your group values privacy and spaciousness, a smaller boat for 6, 8 people might feel more relaxed.

The marina & destination

Based at Salamis Yachting Club, in Salamina, Greece. Premium is operated by Sailing Yachts Greece.

Why this is a great starting point

Salamis Yachting Club sits in the Saronic Gulf, 30 minutes from Athens airport, making it convenient for long-haul arrivals. Week 1 cruising typically covers the nearby Saronic islands; Aegina, Poros, and Hydra lie within easy day-sail distances, offering protected anchorages and established provisioning stops. The prevailing northerly winds (Etesian) in summer allow straightforward passage east toward the Peloponnese coast or west toward Corinth, with short hops suitable for crews settling into boat handling.

Can Premium be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Premium 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 Premium?

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.
