Perfect for families The Sun Odyssey 440 is a brilliant choice for groups of 4, 6 sailing together or families wanting plenty of cabin space without stepping up to a larger, pricier boat. At 13.4 metres with four cabins and sensible sleeping for ten, you get real comfort and privacy without the complexity of managing a 45+ footer.

Smart modern touches What stands out here is the 2022 build year paired with genuinely useful kit, solar panels mean quieter mornings at anchor, the bow thruster takes the stress out of tight moorings, and the sprayhood keeps the cockpit dry when conditions freshen. The teak cockpit and cushions suggest this boat's been spec'd with actual cruising in mind, not just bare-bones basics.

Solid value proposition At €3,290 per week with a modest €2,500 deposit, you're getting a modern, well-equipped sloop at a fair daily rate for European bareboat standards. The Odyssey Sailing operator holds a 5-star rating, though with just one review on file, that's worth noting when making your final decision.

One honest note The base location isn't listed in your data, so before booking, confirm airport proximity and whether Odyssey Sailing arranges transfers, that can make or break the convenience factor when you're flying from the US or northern Europe. Ask directly about their welcome-aboard routine too, especially if anyone in your crew is rusty on sailing.

The marina & destination

Based at Port of Volos, in Volos, Greece. Calypso is operated by Odyssey 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 Calypso be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Calypso 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 Calypso?

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.
