Services & extras (optional)

Crew change during the charter

Crew Change: The permanent disembarkation of passengers who boarded at the start of the journey is prohibited if it exceeds seventy-five per cent (75%). The permanent disembarkation of passengers who boarded during the journey is prohibited if it exceeds seventy-five per cent (75%) of the number of additional passengers. The crew change policy outlined specifies that a crew change during a charter is permissible up to 75%. If the change exceeds this threshold, it necessitates the issuance of a new charter contract, which must be processed through one of Athenian’s bases due to the requirement for new procedures with port authorities. The fees associated with crew changes are set at €120, which covers water, electricity, and marina fees/services across all bases. For crew changes of less than 75%, an additional term can be added to the existing charter contract, allowing the process to avoid the need to visit any Athenian base for port procedures. If a new skipper is introduced, an extra charge ranging from €135 to €425 (for check-in/out fee) will apply, depending on the boat's size. This structured approach ensures compliance with port authority regulations while providing flexibility for charter clients regarding crew management.

Perfect for couples or small families wanting a proven cruiser without breaking the bank. The Sun Odyssey 42 is a respected design that handles well, and at this price point you're getting excellent value for a three-cabin boat in the Greek islands.

Well-equipped baseline. Solar panels, bow thruster, and autopilot take the stress out of coastal sailing, while the snorkeling gear and dinghy mean you can explore proper anchorages away from crowds. The sprayhood and bimini keep you comfortable in the Mediterranean sun.

Strong value proposition. At €1,953/week through a highly-rated local operator, you're paying fair money for a 17-year-old boat that's clearly maintained, Athenian Yachts' 5-star rating across 8 reviews is a solid endorsement. The modest €500 deposit suggests they stand behind their fleet.

Age is the trade-off. A 2007 model will have more wear than newer stock, so expect occasional minor niggles rather than showroom condition. Factor in the long-haul flight to Athens and you'll want to book for at least a week to justify the travel.

The marina & destination

Based at Hotel Armonia, in Nydri, Greece. SEA OBSESSION is operated by Athenian Yachts.

Why this is a great starting point

Hotel Armonia in Nydri sits on Lefkada's east coast, ideally positioned for exploring the Ionian Islands; week one typically involves short hops south to Meganisi, Kalamos, and Kastos, or north to Skorpios and the Dioni anchorages, all achievable in 2-4 hour passages with settled summer winds. The sheltered waters and numerous island anchorages make it well-suited to mixed-ability crews, while the town offers provisioning and restaurants within walking distance. Prevailing northwesterlies in July and August mean you can expect reliable downwind runs to southern islands and straightforward returns via the lee shore.

Can SEA OBSESSION be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter SEA OBSESSION 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 OBSESSION?

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.
