Well-suited for larger groups and families wanting to explore Greece affordably. At 12 berths across 5 cabins, Joseph works brilliantly for extended crews or two families sharing costs—you're looking at roughly €220 per person per week, which is genuinely competitive for this capacity.

Smart practical features include a bow thruster (makes tight anchorages far easier), solar panels for eco-conscious cruising, and a proper sprayhood plus bimini for comfort in Mediterranean sun. The dinghy is essential for island-hopping around the Aegean, and it's included, which saves you rental hassle.

Honest value assessment The 2008 build age is fine for a well-maintained yacht in Greece's calm waters, and at under €2,650/week the price-per-berth is excellent. However, the operator's 3.3/5 rating from only 3 reviews suggests limited feedback—worth asking directly about recent maintenance and specific guest experiences before committing.

One practical consideration: You'll be flying long-haul from the US, UK, or mainland Europe to reach the Aegean base, so factor in airport transfers and a day's travel buffer. Confirm the operator's responsiveness to pre-charter questions now, given that modest review score.

The marina & destination

Poseidonos Avenue

Can Joseph be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Joseph 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 Joseph?

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.
