Best for couples and small groups This 2004 Sun Odyssey 49 suits experienced sailors and mixed groups of 4, 8 looking for a comfortable, well-equipped boat without breaking the bank. The four cabins offer decent separation, and the teak deck plus swimming platform make for pleasant downtime between passages.

Strong practical setup You're getting genuinely useful kit here, electric winches, bow thruster, autopilot, and a chart plotter take the grunt work out of sailing, whilst solar panels and an inverter mean decent power independence. The bimini and swimming platform are real quality-of-life additions for Mediterranean cruising.

Solid value proposition A zero deposit is refreshingly honest, and for a 20-year-old boat, the spec sheet reads well. You're paying for a proven hull design with enough modern electronics to keep things manageable, not for flashy new build prestige.

Age is the trade-off She's nearly two decades old, so whilst the Sun Odyssey 49 is a bulletproof design, expect the occasional rattle or quirk that comes with that vintage. Budget a little contingency for spares or minor repairs, and confirm the condition of systems like the engine and electrical setup before you commit.

The marina & destination

Based at Paros port, in Paros, Greece. Azul is operated by CycladesAzulSailing.

Why this is a great starting point

Paros port offers excellent access to the central Cyclades, with the nearby islands of Naxos, Antiparos, and Delos reachable within a few hours of sailing. Week one typically involves relaxed beam reaches between these islands; you'll have reliable northerly winds and sheltered anchorages at Naoussa, Drios, and around Antiparos. The port itself has good provisioning and repair facilities, making it a practical base before heading south towards Ios and Santorini or north towards Mykonos.

Can Azul be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Azul 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 Azul?

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.
