Bow thruster, Solar panels, USB sockets, Convertible table, Electric fans, Electric toilet,

Perfect for groups This 2021 Oceanis 40.1 is a solid choice if you're bringing family or friends, four cabins and ten berths mean everyone gets their own bunk, and the boat's recent build year guarantees modern comfort and reliability. The Beneteau pedigree here is genuinely well-regarded in charter fleets across Europe.

Smart practical touches Solar panels and an inverter mean you're not constantly running the engine to charge batteries, the bow thruster takes the stress out of tight mooring situations, and the electric toilet won't require manual pumping, small things that make a week aboard genuinely pleasant. Chart plotter and autopilot are standard nowadays, but good to confirm they're fitted.

Keen pricing At €3,310 per week with a €3,000 deposit, this is competitive for a modern four-cabin boat in European waters, especially if you're sharing costs across a larger group, the per-person daily cost drops significantly. The operator's perfect 5/5 rating (albeit from only two reviews) is encouraging.

Base location missing The charter base isn't specified in the listing, which matters hugely for your travel plans, you'll need to confirm whether it's in the Mediterranean, Croatia, French Atlantic, or elsewhere to work out airport transfers and connection times. Always clarify exact location and nearest international airport before committing.

The marina & destination

Based at Marina Paleros, in Palairos, Greece. Fots is operated by MG Yachts.

Why this is a great starting point

Marina Paleros sits on the west coast of Greece, offering straightforward access to the Ionian islands and the sheltered waters of the Patras Gulf. From here, week 1 typically involves cruising north to Lefkas and its satellite islands, or south towards Zakynthos, with consistent northerly winds (the Etesian) providing reliable sailing conditions. The shallow-draft approach and calm anchorages make it well-suited for bareboat charters, particularly those new to Greek waters.

Can Fots be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Fots 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 Fots?

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.
