New Sails 2024

Ideal for families This 2018 Sun Odyssey 479 suits groups of 4, 10 people looking for comfortable, easy sailing without the fuss of a larger vessel. The four cabins and 10 berths make it perfect for a family or two couples wanting proper privacy, which is rare at this size.

Well-equipped cruiser You're getting solid practical features here, bow thruster for tight anchorages, solar panels to extend your independence, chart plotter for navigation, and a sprayhood to keep the cockpit dry. The lazy bag system is a genuine time-saver when handling the mainsail, and the included dinghy opens up exploring smaller beaches and remote anchorages.

Reasonable value overall At this spec and age, the pricing sits comfortably in the mid-range for Mediterranean or Caribbean charters. The €2,500 deposit is straightforward, and the outboard engine keeps maintenance simple, no complex inboard complications to worry about.

Watch the location Unfortunately, the charter base isn't specified in your data, so I can't advise on airport access, flight connections, or how far you'll travel from a major international hub. That's worth confirming directly with SP-Travel before booking, especially if you're flying long-haul from North America or Northern Europe.

The marina & destination

Based at Alimos Marina, in Athens, Greece. JACK is operated by SP-Travel.

Poseidonos Avenue

Why this is a great starting point

Alimos Marina sits just south of Athens, offering straightforward access to the Saronic Gulf's island-hopping routes; week one typically involves sailing to nearby Aegina, Poros, and Hydra, with predictable northerly winds in summer making these 15-30 nautical mile passages reliable for mixed-ability crews. The protected anchorages and short hops suit charter clients recovering from long-haul flights, while the marina's proximity to Athens airport (30 minutes by car) minimizes transfer time. Alimos itself has full facilities and is a logical base for exploring the sheltered Saronic islands before pushing further south toward the Peloponnese if conditions allow.

Can JACK be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter JACK 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 JACK?

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.
