SailChecker Expert View

Perfect for couples or small families. The Oceanis 393 is a proven cruiser that suits groups of 4, 6 looking for relaxed sailing with modern comforts, air con, heating, and Wi-Fi mean you won't rough it, which matters when you've flown long-haul to get there.

Standout practical kit. Solar panels, inverter, and a good battery system keep you independent; the sprayhood and bimini protect you from weather and sun during those long sailing days, and snorkeling gear plus the platform make waterside stops genuinely enjoyable.

Excellent value proposition. At €1,783/week with a modest €200 deposit, you're getting a well-equipped 2002 boat at a fair price, older hull, yes, but equipped like a modern charter yacht and backed by Blue Charters' reputation in the Mediterranean.

One honest note. At 22 years old, systems like air con and the electric toilet will need attention occasionally, so don't expect the reliability of a newer boat, budget a contingency and check with Blue Charters about recent service records before committing.

The marina & destination

Based at Marina Delta Kallithea, in Athens, Greece. ARGO is operated by BLUE CHARTERS.

Leof. Posidonos 20

Why this is a great starting point

Marina Delta Kallithea sits in the northern suburbs of Athens, offering straightforward access to the Saronic Gulf and Argo-Saronic islands. From here, week 1 typically covers the short hops to Aegina, Poros, and Hydra, with gentle beam reaches and consistent northerly winds making these protected waters ideal for building rhythm after your long flight. The marina itself handles logistics well for charter start-up, though you trade proximity to Athens city centre for easier passage toward the southern Peloponnese.

Frequently asked questions
Can ARGO be rented with or without a skipper?
You can charter ARGO 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 ARGO?
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.
