Perfect for groups With four cabins and berths for eight, Tessie suits families or friend groups wanting to split costs and share the sailing experience. The 13.3-metre Sun Odyssey 439 is a proven, comfortable cruiser that handles well without demanding expert-level seamanship.

Well-equipped vessel This boat ticks all the practical boxes: bow thruster for tight anchorages, solar panels and inverter for off-grid comfort, snorkeling gear for exploring, and a full suite of navigation and entertainment systems. The teak deck and Bimini add that touch of quality, and an electric toilet keeps things modern and hassle-free.

Solid value proposition At €1,980 per week with a modest €2,500 deposit, Tessie offers genuine affordability, especially when eight people share costs. Patronis Sailing's perfect 5-star rating (albeit from just three reviews) suggests reliable service and well-maintained equipment, which matters when you're flying from the US or Europe to reach the charter base.

One small note The 2014 build age is perfectly respectable, but Tessie is a mid-size cruiser rather than a nimble pocket rocket, you'll want some basic sailing confidence or a skipper if conditions turn choppy. The outboard engine is practical rather than powerful, so budget extra time for motoring into headwinds.

The marina & destination

Based at Port of Volos, in Volos, Greece. Tessie is operated by Patronis Sailing.

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 Tessie be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Tessie 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 Tessie?

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.
