Perfect starter choice The Oceanis 45 is an excellent option if you're new to bareboat sailing or want a forgiving, manageable yacht. Built in 2012, this Beneteau model has proven itself as a reliable, user-friendly cruiser with plenty of real-world testing behind it.
Generous space onboard Four cabins and eight berths make this boat brilliant for families or two couples looking to share costs, you're getting genuine comfort without feeling cramped. The Oceanis line is known for clever interior layout, so you'll find usable galley and saloon spaces that actually feel spacious at 13.8 metres.
Strong value proposition At €3,150 per week with only a €3,000 deposit, you're looking at honest, competitive pricing for a four-cabin Atlantic cruiser. This sits in the sweet spot for groups wanting to spread the charter cost across multiple families while keeping per-person spend reasonable.
One realistic caveat Since the boat is 12+ years old, you'll want to clarify with El Yachting exactly which systems were serviced or upgraded recently, particularly engine, electrics, and sails. Ask about their maintenance schedule upfront; older boats are still excellent value, but transparency on condition matters when you're flying long-haul to collect her.

Based at Port of Lefkas, in Lefkada, Greece. Oceanis 45 Built 2012 is operated by El Yachting.
Port of Lefkas sits at the northern gateway to the Ionian Islands, putting you within day-sailing distance of Meganisi, Kalamos, and the Scorpios group; week one typically involves exploring these sheltered anchorages with consistent northwesterly winds that favour southbound passages. The marina itself offers good provisioning and repair facilities, essential before heading into the more remote southern Ionian. From here you can reach Ithaca and Kefalonia by mid-week, making this an ideal base for first-time visitors to Greek waters seeking a mix of established mooring fields and quieter island passages.
