About this yacht
Sails 2023, Dinghy & Outboard 2023 - Shorepower A/C in all cabins - Bimini & S/H 2025
SailChecker Expert View

Perfect for families The Sun Odyssey 42i is a brilliant all-rounder for groups of 4, 8 wanting a comfortable, easy-sailing yacht. With 3 cabins and thoughtful onboard kit like air-con and solar panels, it balances liveability with genuine sailing credentials.

Well-equipped cruiser You're getting solid spec here: bow thruster for tight anchorages, radar for safety, bimini and sprayhood for Mediterranean sun, plus teak decking that feels premium. The inverter means devices stay charged without running engines constantly, a real quality-of-life feature on longer charters.

Strong value proposition At a €2,500 deposit, this 2008 model represents honest money for a proven design that's held its appeal for over 15 years. You're not paying for bleeding-edge newness, but you are getting a reliable platform with enough creature comforts that nobody feels roughed-out.

One practical note The charter operator VoiliVoilou is based outside mainstream tourist hubs, so factor in airport transfers when you're flying from the UK, US, or central Europe, nothing prohibitive, but worth confirming logistics before booking. Once you're aboard, this yacht will reward you with easy sailing and genuine comfort.

The marina & destination

Based at Finikas port, in Finikas, Greece. Sea Nest is operated by VoiliVoilou.

Why this is a great starting point

Finikas port on Syros is a working harbour with good shelter and basic facilities, ideally positioned for exploring the central Cyclades. From here you can reach Delos, Mykonos, and Tinos within easy day sails, while the consistent northerly winds in summer make passage to the southern islands like Paros and Naxos straightforward for week one. The port itself is quieter than nearby Ermoupoli, making it a genuine local anchorage rather than a tourist hub.

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