Ideal for smaller groups. The Sun Odyssey 42 i works brilliantly for 4–6 people who want comfort without breaking the bank, or couples wanting extra space. Three cabins and eight berths give you flexibility, though sleeping eight means tight quarters for longer trips.

Solid all-rounder. This is a proven design with genuinely useful kit: bow thruster and autopilot make handling easier, solar panels and inverter keep you self-sufficient, and the bimini plus cockpit cushions mean real comfort in Mediterranean sun. Wi-Fi and heating are nice bonuses that justify the 2011 build year.

Excellent value proposition. At under €1,650 per week from Genoa—one of Europe's most accessible sailing hubs with direct flights from most major US and UK airports—you're looking at genuinely competitive pricing for a well-equipped yacht this size. The €2,000 deposit is reasonable too.

One realistic caveat: A 2011 boat needs diligent pre-charter inspection; ask Genoa Sailing for recent service records, especially on the engine, electrics, and that bow thruster. Nothing alarming at this age, just prudent due diligence before committing.

The marina & destination

Based at Nikiana Marina, in Lefkada, Greece. Argonaute is operated by Genoa Sailing.

Can Argonaute be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Argonaute 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 Argonaute?

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.
