Sails 2024, Water-maker
SailChecker Expert View

Perfect for couples or small families. The Oceanis 41.1 is a brilliant cruising yacht that sleeps 8 comfortably across 3 cabins, making it ideal for two families or a group of friends sailing together. At 12 metres, it's manageable even for less experienced sailors, yet spacious enough to feel genuinely comfortable on week-long adventures.

Smart, practical kit. What stands out here is the thoughtful equipment: a water maker means you're never rationing fresh water, solar panels keep you self-sufficient, and the electric toilet plus sprayhood make daily life genuinely pleasant. The autopilot and chart plotter handle the navigation grunt work, leaving you to enjoy sailing rather than grind the helm.

Excellent value proposition. At €2,232 per week with a modest €2,000 deposit, this boat delivers serious bang for your money, especially paired with Blue Memories' stellar 5-star rating across seven reviews. You're getting a modern, well-equipped boat from a genuinely trusted operator.

One honest note: The listing doesn't specify the charter base location, so confirm flight connections and transfer time from your nearest major airport before booking. Once you know where Moorhen floats, factor in travel logistics since most of our clients are flying long-haul to reach their yacht.

The marina & destination

Based at Marina Paleros, in Palairos, Greece. Moorhen is operated by Blue Memories.

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.

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