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.

Ideal for families This 2023 Sun Odyssey 440 suits groups of 6, 10 wanting a modern, well-equipped cruiser without the learning curve of a complicated boat. The four cabins and sensible layout make it perfect for a family week or friends' flotilla, especially if you want everyone comfortable rather than roughing it.

Smart spec highlights The solar panels, bow thruster, and autopilot take the stress out of Greek sailing, while the lazy jack and sprayhood mean less faffing with mainsail handling. Outboard engine, chart plotter, snorkeling kit, and dinghy cover the practical bases, you're ready to explore without hiring extras.

Good value proposition At €3,332 per week with a five-star operator and minimal deposit, this is honest pricing for a newish, fully-crewed-friendly boat in the Aegean. You're paying for reliability and recent build quality, not inflated charter markup.

One consideration The base location isn't specified in your details, so confirm airport transfer time from Athens or wherever you're flying in, that can add hours to your journey if you're connecting internationally.

The marina & destination

Based at Marina Benitses, in Mpenitses, Greece. CRANE is operated by Athenian Yachts.

Why this is a great starting point

Marina Benitses sits on Corfu's east coast and works well as a base for exploring the Ionian Islands. From here you can reach Paxos and Antipaxos within a few hours, then continue south to Lefkada and Meganisi in week one, benefiting from the reliable northerly etesian winds that funnel down the Ionian channel. The shallow, protected waters around Benitses itself suit sailors new to Greek conditions, while the nearby Albanian coast and Diapontia Islands offer quieter anchorages if you prefer to stay close.

Can CRANE be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter CRANE 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 CRANE?

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.
