SailChecker Expert View

Perfect for families The Sun Odyssey 409 is a well-proven cruiser that suits groups of 4–6 comfortably, or up to 8 if you don't mind cosy cabin-sharing. With three cabins and sensible deck layout, it's ideal for families or friends wanting a relaxed sailing holiday in Greek waters without feeling cramped.

Smart cruising setup This 2015 model comes nicely equipped with practical touches like a bow thruster (brilliant for tight anchorages), sprayhood, lazy jack, and autopilot—all the features that make bareboat sailing less exhausting. The chart plotter and full dinghy package round out a capable, well-thought-out specification.

Solid value proposition Athenian Yachts has a perfect 5-star rating across eight reviews, which speaks volumes for their maintenance standards and customer care. The €500 deposit is refreshingly modest, and the 409's proven design means you're hiring a reliable workhorse, not an experiment.

A minor note You'll want to confirm what "Base" location actually means in the listing—it appears blank—so reach out to Athenian Yachts directly to confirm the exact departure port and factor in airport transfers from Athens or your nearest hub.

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