Perfect for group getaways. The Oceanis 423 Argo sleeps eight across four cabins, making it ideal for families or friends wanting to share costs on a Mediterranean sailing holiday. At €2755/week, you're getting solid value for that capacity in what's typically a pricier charter region.

Solid, practical cruiser. This 2006 Beneteau is a workhorse, the bow thruster, autopilot, and chart plotter with radar take the stress out of sailing, especially if your group includes less experienced sailors. The sprayhood and bimini keep everyone comfortable in strong sun or the occasional squall.

Fair pricing for the spec. At nearly 18 years old, Argo won't have the latest bells and whistles, but the core systems are there and the boat has proven itself in charter fleets. The €2500 deposit is reasonable, and weekly rates at this price point are competitive for an eight-berth in the Greek islands or broader Med.

Age is the trade-off. A 2006 boat means you're accepting some wear and potential maintenance quirks, nothing unusual for a working charter yacht, but worth confirming the recent service history and condition of that older outboard engine before you commit.

The marina & destination

Based at Flisvos Marina, in Palaio Faliro, Greece. Argo is operated by Faliro Sailing.

Why this is a great starting point

Flisvos Marina sits on Athens's south coast and offers immediate access to the Saronic Gulf, where week 1 typically involves leisurely 15-25 nautical mile hops between the islands of Aegina, Poros, and Hydra. The marina works well for clients new to Greek sailing or those wanting cultural variety, as you can reach archaeological sites and traditional hill villages by afternoon from Athens, then push south toward the Peloponnese by day three or four. Northerly winds dominate in summer, making the sheltered Saronic Gulf an ideal proving ground before crossing to the more exposed Cyclades.

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.
