Perfect for families The Oceanis 45 is a spacious four-cabin cruiser that sleeps up to 10, making it ideal for families or groups wanting comfortable accommodation without squeezing into tight quarters. She's a proven design that balances ease of handling with genuine living space below deck.

Well-equipped cruiser Rafaella comes with practical kit including solar panels (great for extended cruising), a bow thruster for tight anchorages, sprayhood for protection, and chart plotter, all the essentials for independent sailing without constantly hiring extras. The teak cockpit adds a touch of character too.

Strong value proposition At €3,700 per week with a modest €2,500 deposit and backed by a five-star operator rating, this represents solid value for a family-sized sailing boat in a proper charter fleet. You're getting a well-maintained, capable vessel at a fair price.

One realistic note A 2014 boat is now a decade old, so while the equipment list looks solid, you might expect the occasional quirk or worn cosmetic element, nothing unusual for a working charter yacht, but worth confirming condition details directly with Odyssey Sailing before booking.

The marina & destination

Based at Port of Volos, in Volos, Greece. Rafaella is operated by Odyssey Sailing.

Why this is a great starting point

Volos sits at the gateway to the Sporades islands, making it ideal for week-one cruising to Skiathos, Skopelos, and Alonissos with consistent northerly winds; the crossing to these islands typically takes 4-8 hours depending on your chosen anchorage. The marina offers good facilities and the Pelion peninsula provides a scenic backdrop, though expect the meltemi wind to strengthen as the season progresses. From here you can also explore the quieter Evia coast to the south or venture north towards Thassos if conditions allow, giving you flexibility for a relaxed first week of chartering.

Can Rafaella be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Rafaella 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 Rafaella?

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.
