SailChecker Expert View

Perfect for groups This 2024 ORC 57 catamaran is ideal for larger groups or families wanting modern comfort without breaking the bank, eight berths across four cabins mean everyone gets reasonable privacy. The zero deposit requirement is a genuine bonus that makes booking hassle-free.

Smart sustainable kit You're getting genuinely useful features here: solar panels and an inverter mean lower generator running costs, the water maker provides independence, and electric toilets are increasingly standard on new builds. The autopilot and chart plotter handle both cruising ease and passage-making.

Strong value proposition For a brand-new catamaran with this spec, especially the self-sufficiency gear, the pricing appears competitive, and that no-deposit policy removes typical charter friction. You're essentially getting 2024 build quality and modern systems without a premium surcharge.

Charter base unknown The operator information isn't complete in your brief, so I'd confirm the actual location and whether Open Sail offers the logistics that matter: direct airport transfers, English-speaking crew support, and proximity to a major international hub. Most long-haul clients need clarity on getting from airport to boat efficiently.

The marina & destination

Based at Lavrion Main Port, in Lavrion, Greece. Avel Vaez is operated by Open Sail.

Akti Papandreou Andrea

Why this is a great starting point

Lavrion is a working commercial port southeast of Athens with good road access from the capital, making it convenient for fly-in charters. From here you can reach the Saronic Gulf islands (Aegina, Poros, Hydra) within a day's sail, or head south towards the Cyclades with steady northerly winds; week one typically takes you to Kea, Kythnos, or Serifos depending on conditions. The port itself is functional rather than resort-like, but offers reasonable facilities and a practical base for exploring some of Greece's most accessible sailing grounds.

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