Who it suits This 51-footer works well for mixed-ability groups of up to 10 people wanting a relaxed, sociable sailing week without breaking the bank. The four cabins and generous berth count make it ideal for families, friends, or small corporate groups where comfort matters more than cutting-edge luxury.

Strong practical kit Hermes comes properly equipped for confident cruising, bow thruster and autopilot take the pressure off helming, while the chart plotter and modern nav radio keep you safe and connected. The dinghy with outboard gives you real freedom to explore anchorages, and solid extras like the refrigerator and bimini make lounging genuinely pleasant.

Honest value trade-off At 22 years old, you're getting good bang for your €2,000 deposit, but remember this is an older boat, expect some wear and character rather than showroom condition. The equipment list is solid and practical rather than flashy, which suits sailors who care more about capability than glossy finishes.

One real caveat The base location isn't listed on your data, which matters hugely for long-haul travellers, you'll want to confirm airport access, transfer times, and whether Kamar Yachting offers professional handover and support in English before committing.

The marina & destination

Based at Lavrion Main Port, in Lavrion, Greece. Hermes is operated by Kamar Yachting.

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 Hermes be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Hermes 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 Hermes?

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.
