About this yacht
New Jib 2026 - Electric Toilets
SailChecker Expert View

Ideal for groups This 2020 Oceanis 46.1 is perfect if you're chartering with family or friends, five cabins and ten berths mean everyone gets their own space without feeling cramped. The modern build year and solid equipment list suggest she's well-maintained and ready to go.

Well-equipped cruiser Solar panels, bow thruster, and autopilot are genuinely useful features that make longer passages and tight anchorages easier to manage. The swimming platform and bimini are nice touches for hot-weather cruising, and you've got proper navigation gear with radio and CD player onboard.

Good value proposition At this size and age with this cabin count, the €3,000 deposit is reasonable, you're getting a spacious, modern yacht that won't leave you scrambling for berths or fighting over bathrooms. That's fair for a week's Mediterranean or Atlantic charter.

One thing to note The outboard engine rather than inboard is worth considering if you're planning engine-heavy passages; outboards are simpler but less powerful for a 46-footer. Otherwise, this is a straightforward, capable boat that delivers what it promises.

The marina & destination

Based at Alimos Marina, in Athens, Greece. Buddy is operated by Sailty .

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.

Frequently asked questions
Can Buddy be rented with or without a skipper?
You can charter Buddy 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 Buddy?
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.
