Perfect starter choice The Oceanis 46 is an ideal boat for first-time bareboat sailors or families wanting a stable, forgiving platform, she's one of Beneteau's most popular designs for good reason. With four cabins and space for eight, you'll have room to spread out without breaking the bank on a week's charter.

Smart practical features She's well-equipped for a relaxed cruise: electric winches take the physical strain out of sailing, the autopilot handles long passages, and solar panels help keep power costs down. Snorkeling gear, dinghy, bimini, and sprayhood mean you're set for both water activities and protection from the elements.

Excellent value proposition At €1,820 per week with only a €2,500 deposit, you're getting a lot of boat for the money, especially compared to newer models in the same size range. More Yachting's perfect 5-star rating is encouraging, though it's based on just one review, so dig deeper if you can.

One honest note She's 15 years old, which isn't ancient for a well-maintained Oceanis, but confirm the service history and sea trial condition before committing. For international clients flying in, you'll want to confirm the base location and airport transfer logistics, that data isn't shown here, so chase your broker for those details.

The marina & destination

Based at Nikiana Marina, in Lefkada, Greece. Alpha is operated by More Yachting.

Why this is a great starting point

Nikiana Marina sits on Lefkada's east coast, offering straightforward access to the Ionian islands' protected waters and steady northwesterly winds typical of summer conditions. Week 1 charters naturally progress south through Meganisi and Kalamos, or north toward Skorpios and Ithaca, with all anchorages lying within 15-25 nautical miles; the shallow, predictable conditions suit both experienced sailors and those returning to the water. The surrounding Ionian offers relatively short passages between islands, making it ideal for crews wanting to establish their rhythm without long overnight crossings.

Can Alpha be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Alpha 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 Alpha ?

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.
