Ideal for families The Sun Odyssey 449 is a brilliant family cruiser that sleeps eight across four cabins, making it perfect for multi-generational holidays or two couples who want their own space. The 2018 build means you're getting modern construction with a proven track record of reliability.

Well-equipped vessel Gaia comes loaded with thoughtful gear that makes extended cruising genuinely comfortable, solar panels keep the batteries topped, Wi-Fi keeps you connected, and dual electric toilets avoid awkward queuing in the morning. The teak deck, bimini, and sprayhood signal this owner understands the med charter lifestyle, while the bow thruster and autopilot take stress out of tight anchorages and longer passages.

Strong value proposition At 13.8 metres with four cabins, the pricing appears competitive for the charter market, and the €2,500 deposit is reasonable. You're getting a modern, well-appointed boat from an operator with a perfect 5-star rating, which matters when you're flying in from abroad.

One honest note The base location isn't specified in the listing, which is unusual, you'll need to contact Olympic Yachting directly to confirm where she's moored and factor in your international travel plans. That said, the operator's perfect rating suggests they'll look after you well once you find them.

The marina & destination

Based at Lavrion Main Port, in Lavrion, Greece. Gaia is operated by Olympic Yachting.

Akti Papandreou Andrea

Why this is a great starting point

Lavrion is a working commercial port southeast of Athens with good road access from the capital, making it convenient for fly-in charters. From here you can reach the Saronic Gulf islands (Aegina, Poros, Hydra) within a day's sail, or head south towards the Cyclades with steady northerly winds; week one typically takes you to Kea, Kythnos, or Serifos depending on conditions. The port itself is functional rather than resort-like, but offers reasonable facilities and a practical base for exploring some of Greece's most accessible sailing grounds.

Can Gaia be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Gaia 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 Gaia?

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.
