What you'll pay

Charter pricing is famously opaque. Here's everything the operator will charge — mandatory items paid at the base, plus optional add-ons you can opt into.

Paid at the base (mandatory)

Dinghy and outboard engine 2,5hp

Included mandatory

One-Way fee Keramoti-Volos / Volos-Keramoti (the possibility of one-way should be confirmed by the office)

€800 per rental mandatory

Damage waivier for reduced security deposit (up to 2 weeks monohulls 2018-2023)

The Damage Waiver reduces your financial liability in the event of damage to the yacht, loss or damage to ancillary equipment, or damage caused by a third party during your charter. Non-refundable: The Damage Waiver is not refundable under any circumstances. The refundable deposit covers any damage or loss over the damage waiver amount, and the customer's total financial liability will not exceed the amount of the damage waiver and the refundable deposit. Coverage: It covers any loss or accident involving the yacht, its equipment, or a third party, including all risks of damage or theft, whether due to negligence or malicious intent by the skipper or clients. Indemnification: It indemnifies all parties involved in all cases. Additional Weeks: For any additional week of the charter, an extra Damage Waiver charge will apply, amounting to half of the standard Damage Waiver cost. The payment of either the Refundable Security Deposit or the Damage Waiver applies solely to one major incident at a time. Suppose there is a loss or damage to high-value equipment (such as an outboard engine or dinghy, sails, mast). In that case, the Charterer has the right to a replacement or repair, on the condition that a new Refundable Security Deposit is paid promptly upon receiving the replacement or completion of the repair.

The Sun Odyssey 440 – brand new model of 2023 that comes in a version with four cabins, is able to accommodate up to 10 people, with two in the saloon. For those adept at gentle, perfect manoeuvres, a bow thruster is available. For long-distance sailors, there are solar panels, inverter and A/C. Elegance and beauty, all in all. The new generation of Sun Odysseys reflects harmony on board, and this well-being flows from a clever ergonomic design.

model 2023, with bow thruster, inverter, solar panels, A/C, light colour interior woods, unfolding cockpit saloon, 530L water tank

Perfect for families This 2023 Sun Odyssey 440 suits mixed-ability crews and families who want comfort without sacrifice, four private cabins mean everyone gets their own space, and the 10-berth capacity is genuinely useful for larger groups or multi-family getaways. The air conditioning and generous deck gear (electric winches, autopilot, bow thruster) make sailing relaxed rather than demanding.

Standout practical features Solar panels and electric toilets show this yacht is built for modern cruising, while the teak cockpit, bimini, and cushions transform downtime into genuine luxury. The chart plotter in the cockpit and full radio-CD setup mean entertainment and navigation are sorted without faffing about below decks.

Solid value proposition At €3,375 per week from a 2023 build, you're paying for a recently built, well-equipped boat with no obvious shortcuts, the deposit is refreshingly low at €500. For international crews flying to the charter base, this represents fair pricing for a four-cabin cruiser in decent condition.

Watch the base location The operator (NorthSailing) isn't listed with a clear base port here, so before booking, confirm the exact charter location and flight connections, some Mediterranean bases offer better airport logistics than others for long-haul arrivals.

The marina & destination

Based at Platania Marina, in Volos, Platania, Greece. North Wind 44 is operated by NorthSailing.

Epar.Od. Platania-Kastriou

Why this is a great starting point

Platania Marina in Volos provides direct access to the Sporades Islands, with Skiathos, Skopelos, and Alonissos easily reachable within day-sail distances; week one typically involves island-hopping through sheltered anchorages with minimal boat traffic. The protected waters of the Aegean in this region offer reliable northerly winds during summer months, making it ideal for sailors seeking gentle conditions and charming fishing villages rather than exposed open-water cruising. Base provisioning is straightforward in Volos, and you can return to the marina mid-week if needed, though most charters push north towards the Pelion coast or south to the Euboea Channel.

Can North Wind 44 be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter North Wind 44 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 North Wind 44?

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.
