Main Sail and Genoa renewed in 2022

Perfect for groups. The Oceanis 51.1 is a brilliant choice if you're chartering with family or friends, six cabins and twelve berths mean everyone gets their own sleeping space without feeling cramped, which is rare at this price point.

Well-equipped vessel. Lazy bag, bow thruster, autopilot, and a swimming platform tick all the boxes for comfortable cruising and easy handling, even if your sailing experience is mixed. The snorkeling kit and dinghy are genuine bonuses for exploring anchorages beyond the main ports.

Excellent value proposition. At €3,600 per week with a modest €2,000 deposit, this boat offers serious bang for money, you're getting a modern 2019 hull with proper cruising gear included, which beats many competitors in this size and cabin count.

One practical note: The base location isn't specified in your details, so I can't advise on flight connections or transfer times from major European hubs. Before booking, confirm where the vessel is based and factor in travel logistics from your nearest airport, that'll shape whether this suits your trip.

The marina & destination

Based at Alimos Marina, in Athens, Greece. Velvet Dice is operated by DMS Sailing Charter.

Poseidonos Avenue

Can Velvet Dice be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Velvet Dice 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 Velvet Dice?

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.
