(Refit 2025) with A/C

Ideal for larger groups With five cabins and 10 berths, Vanessa M is built for extended family getaways or friends sharing the cost. The Oceanis 50 Family design prioritizes space and comfort over racing performance, so everyone gets reasonable elbow room below deck.

Well-equipped and thoughtful Solar panels, bow thruster, autopilot, and a sprayhood show the owner has invested in making longer passages easier and more comfortable. Air conditioning throughout, teak cockpit, and Wi-Fi are genuine conveniences for a 2011 build, you won't feel like you're roughing it.

Fair value proposition At this size and specification, the €2,000 deposit suggests competitive daily rates for the Mediterranean or similar warm-water base. You're getting a tried-and-tested cruising platform with proven equipment rather than cutting-edge luxury, which suits charter groups comfortable with solid, reliable sailing.

One practical note The five-cabin layout means shared heads and showers, check the cabin configuration carefully, as not all berths offer equal privacy or comfort. If you need private ensuite cabins, a smaller boat with fewer berths might actually serve your group better.

The marina & destination

Based at Nydri Port, in Nydri, Greece. Vanessa M is operated by Amfitriti Discovery .

Why this is a great starting point

Nydri Port sits on Lefkada's east coast and offers immediate access to the Ionian Islands' most sheltered cruising grounds, with the string of islands running south (Meganisi, Kalamos, Kastos) easily reached in light afternoon winds. Week 1 typically involves island-hopping between these protected anchorages and exploring the narrow channels around Meganisi, which suit newer sailors and those avoiding heavy swell. The port itself is well-equipped with fuel and provisioning, making it practical for longer charters heading further south towards Kefalonia or Ithaca by mid-week.

Can Vanessa M be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Vanessa M 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 Vanessa M?

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.
