Perfect for couples and small families The Sun Odyssey 409 is an excellent mid-range cruiser that suits groups of 4, 6 people comfortably, or up to 8 if you're happy with cosy shared bunking. At 12 metres, she's manageable for sailors with basic experience but still offers genuine cruising capability for a week-long Mediterranean or Atlantic adventure.

Standout practical features Solar panels and a bow thruster are genuine quality-of-life additions on a boat this size, they'll save you fuel, reduce engine hours, and make tight anchorages and marina approaches far less stressful. The chart plotter and radio are essentials done right, and cockpit cushions might sound minor but transform long days at sea into something genuinely pleasant.

Solid value proposition A 2013 Sun Odyssey 409 represents honest value at charter rates, you're getting proven, uncomplicated design with a loyal user base and easy spare-parts availability. The €2000 deposit is reasonable and suggests competitive daily rates.

One thing to confirm The base location isn't listed in your details, which matters significantly for flight connections and transfer times from major European hubs. Before booking, check exactly where AA Yachts operates from, Mediterranean bases are typically 2, 3 hours from major airports, while some Atlantic locations demand longer drives.

The marina & destination

Based at D-Marin Marina Gouvia, in Gouvia, Greece. Traveller is operated by AA Yachts.

Why this is a great starting point

D-Marin Gouvia sits on Corfu's east coast with easy access to the Ionian Islands; week 1 typically takes you south toward Lefkada and Kefalonia, with consistent northerly winds (Etesians) pushing you downwind through protected anchorages and narrow channels. The marina's sheltered location and full facilities make it ideal for crews adjusting to Greek sailing, and you can reach Paxos, Antipaxos, or the Patrasso approaches within 2-3 days of departure. The relatively short passages and abundance of small island anchorages suit mixed-ability crews, though northerly wind patterns mean most first-week itineraries favour southbound sailing.

Can Traveller be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Traveller 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 Traveller?

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.
