NEW layout 4 double cabins, bowthruster, teak cockpit

Perfect for groups STEFANO is an excellent choice if you're sailing with family or friends, those four cabins sleep 10, giving everyone reasonable space without breaking the bank on a larger vessel. The 2025 build means you'll have the latest Oceanis design with modern systems, which matters after a long international journey.

Smart setup for sailing The bow thruster and autopilot are genuine comfort features for charter crews, especially if you're handling the yacht yourselves in tight anchorages or longer passages. A chart plotter in the cockpit is standard these days, but it's reassuring to have it confirmed, keeps everyone oriented during your sailing days.

Strong value proposition At 12.4 metres, you're getting a proven, manageable design that's easy to sail without needing expert crew, yet capable enough for proper exploration. Vernicos Yachts' 4.9-star rating (17 reviews) from their Athenian base speaks volumes about their maintenance standards and support, important when flying in from North America or northern Europe.

One realistic note With 10 berths across four cabins, sleeping arrangements will feel snug on a full booking; couples might find cabins tighter than expected, so clarify cabin configurations before committing if comfort is your priority.

The marina & destination

Based at Paros port, in Paros, Greece. STEFANO 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 STEFANO be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter STEFANO 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 STEFANO?

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.
