Solid mid-range cruiser The Sun Odyssey 42DS is a proven, comfortable cruiser that suits families or small groups wanting easy sailing without fussing over performance. At 12.9 metres with three cabins sleeping eight, it's spacious enough for a relaxed week without feeling cramped, though bunking arrangements will matter if you've got mixed ages.

Smart practical touches Freya comes well-equipped for independent cruising: the bow thruster and autopilot make single-handed handling forgiving, while solar panels plus the electric toilet mean less reliance on fuel and water top-ups. The sprayhood and bimini are genuine comfort wins in Mediterranean sun or unpredictable weather, not luxuries.

Value stacks up fairly At €1800 weekly with a modest €2500 deposit, this is honest pricing for a 12-year-old boat in decent trim, nothing discounted, nothing inflated. The 5-star operator rating is encouraging, though it's based on just one review, so look for recent feedback from other charters before committing.

One honest note The outboard engine is a practical choice for a boat this size, but outboards need respect: check servicing history and fuel condition before departure, and budget for a potential replacement part if you're chartering remote waters. Otherwise, this is a trustworthy, sensible choice for a Med week.

The marina & destination

Based at Port of Volos, in Volos, Greece. FREYA is operated by Chatzigiannis Yacht.

Why this is a great starting point

Volos sits at the gateway to the Sporades islands, making it ideal for week-one cruising to Skiathos, Skopelos, and Alonissos with consistent northerly winds; the crossing to these islands typically takes 4-8 hours depending on your chosen anchorage. The marina offers good facilities and the Pelion peninsula provides a scenic backdrop, though expect the meltemi wind to strengthen as the season progresses. From here you can also explore the quieter Evia coast to the south or venture north towards Thassos if conditions allow, giving you flexibility for a relaxed first week of chartering.

Can FREYA be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter FREYA 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 FREYA?

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.
