Ideal for casual sailors Wind of Change suits couples or small groups wanting a comfortable, uncomplicated week afloat without breaking the bank. The 2010 Oceanis 37 is a proven design, reliable, easy to handle, and forgiving for mixed-experience crews.

Practical standout features The teak cockpit and bimini top make lounging genuinely pleasant, while autopilot and chart plotter remove some of the mental load on longer passages. A 3-cabin layout with 8 berths gives flexible sleeping arrangements, and the outboard engine means you're not wrestling a heavy inboard in tight anchorages.

Strong value proposition Vernicos carries a 4.9/5 rating across 17 reviews, that's real, sustained reputation, and the €2000 deposit is refreshingly modest. For an early 2010s boat in active service, this represents solid bang-for-buck, especially if you're chartering for a week rather than pushing hard.

One honest caveat At nearly 14 years old, Wind of Change will show her age in cosmetics and some systems; expect well-loved rather than pristine. That said, the Oceanis 37 is robust enough that age matters far less than maintenance history, and the operator's rating suggests they keep standards up.

The marina & destination

Based at Paros port, in Paros, Greece. WIND OF CHANGE is operated by Vernicos Yachts.

Why this is a great starting point

Paros port offers excellent access to the central Cyclades, with the nearby islands of Naxos, Antiparos, and Delos reachable within a few hours of sailing. Week one typically involves relaxed beam reaches between these islands; you'll have reliable northerly winds and sheltered anchorages at Naoussa, Drios, and around Antiparos. The port itself has good provisioning and repair facilities, making it a practical base before heading south towards Ios and Santorini or north towards Mykonos.

Can WIND OF CHANGE be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter WIND OF CHANGE 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 WIND OF CHANGE?

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.
