Ideal for relaxed cruisers. The Oceanis 43 "Serenity" suits families and groups of friends who want comfortable sailing without cutting-edge performance, this 2010 Beneteau has proven herself as a reliable, easy-to-handle cruiser that won't demand expert seamanship.

Well-equipped and practical. She's got the essentials that matter: bow thruster and autopilot take the stress out of tight anchorages and long passages, while solar panels and a holding tank mean you can stay away from the marina for days without worry. The bimini and sprayhood keep the sun and spray at bay, and four cabins sleeping 10 makes her a genuinely social vessel.

Solid value proposition. At a modest €2,000 deposit, this feels like honest pricing for a well-spec'd mid-range cruiser, you're not paying premium rates for a newer hull, but you're getting real-world comfort and genuine cruising kit rather than bare-bones basics.

Age is the trade-off. She's 14 years old now, which isn't ancient for a Beneteau, but it's worth asking Summer Sail specifically about engine hours, through-hull condition, and when major systems were last serviced, older boats reward careful operators but can surprise you with bills if maintenance has been patchy.

The marina & destination

Based at Alimos Marina, in Athens, Greece. Serenity is operated by Summer Sail.

Poseidonos Avenue

Why this is a great starting point

Alimos Marina sits just south of Athens, offering straightforward access to the Saronic Gulf's island-hopping routes; week one typically involves sailing to nearby Aegina, Poros, and Hydra, with predictable northerly winds in summer making these 15-30 nautical mile passages reliable for mixed-ability crews. The protected anchorages and short hops suit charter clients recovering from long-haul flights, while the marina's proximity to Athens airport (30 minutes by car) minimizes transfer time. Alimos itself has full facilities and is a logical base for exploring the sheltered Saronic islands before pushing further south toward the Peloponnese if conditions allow.

Can Serenity be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Serenity 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 Serenity?

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.
