Perfect for families The Oceanis 46.1 is a brilliant choice if you're bringing a group or family who want comfortable, modern sailing without the learning curve. Four cabins sleeping ten across means everyone gets their own space, and the 2021 build date means systems are current and reliable.

Well-equipped cruiser This boat doesn't skimp on comfort, you're looking at air conditioning, a water maker, ice maker, and electric winches that make handling easy for mixed-ability crews. The teak cockpit, sprayhood, and onboard generator suggest an owner who prioritised liveable cruising over bare-bones racing credentials.

Keen pricing reality At €3,600 per week with a matching deposit, this is genuinely competitive for a 2021 four-cabin bareboat in the Mediterranean. You're paying fair value for a well-maintained, modern vessel in a location where international crews typically fly in.

One honest note With only two operator reviews on file, you won't have a deep track record to lean on yet, worth a direct conversation with Aeolian Yachts about their support, handover process, and any local quirks before committing. A newer operator can absolutely deliver great service, but it's worth confirming turnaround times and English-language support if you're coordinating from abroad.

The marina & destination

Based at Preveza Marina, in Preveza, Greece. Aeolian Melody is operated by Aeolian Yachts.

Port of Preveza

Why this is a great starting point

Preveza Marina sits at the entrance to the Ionian Sea, making it ideal for charters heading north to the Paxi islands and Corfu or south toward the Peloponnese; week 1 typically covers the sheltered waters and small anchorages between Lefkada and the Albanian coast, with consistent northerly winds favoring an initial southbound passage. The marina's position on Greece's western coast offers quick access to some of the Ionian's most protected cruising grounds, including the Echinades islands and Meganisi, all reachable within a few hours under sail.

Can Aeolian Melody be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Aeolian Melody 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 Aeolian Melody?

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.
