What you'll pay

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.

Paid at the base (mandatory)

Refundable security deposit

Held at check-in (card pre-auth or bank transfer), refunded after charter if the yacht is returned without damage. Deposit-waiver insurance is one of the optional extras below — reduces the held amount in exchange for a smaller non-refundable premium.

Not for cruising. This is a rigid inflatable boat (RIB), not a cruising yacht, it has no cabins or sleeping berths, so it's purely a day-use powerboat. It suits adventurous groups wanting fast water sports, diving excursions, or coastal exploration from a land-based hotel or resort.

Practical day boat. At 6.5 metres with an outboard engine, Stheno is nimble and easy to handle, perfect for zipping between islands or accessing shallow anchorages that larger vessels can't reach. The low €800 deposit suggests an operator comfortable with modest risk, a good sign of straightforward, hassle-free rental terms.

Honest caveat: We don't have the charter base location or pricing data, which matters hugely for a RIB. If it's based far from a major airport, you'll face awkward transfers; if it's pricey for what is essentially a 6.5m open boat, the value evaporates quickly.

Bottom line: A fun, flexible tool for a short adventure rather than a sailing holiday. Only book it if day trips and water activities are your goal, not if you're imagining nights at sea or a traditional charter experience.

The marina & destination

Based at Anavyssos, in Anavyssos, Greece. Stheno is operated by Aquila Shipping.

Anavyssos beach

Why this is a great starting point

Anavyssos marina sits 25 nautical miles south of Athens, offering convenient access to the Saronic Gulf's sheltered islands; week one typically reaches Hydra, Spetses, and Poros with consistent northerly winds (Etesian) that favour southbound sailing. The protected waters and short hops between islands make this an ideal base for sailors returning to the Aegean after a long flight, with easy provisions and fuel stops along the route. Day sails to nearby Aegina work well for acclimatisation before venturing further into the Peloponnese's cruising grounds.

Can Stheno be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Stheno 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 Stheno?

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.
