What you'll pay

Refundable security deposit

AIR CONDITION WITH SHORE POWER

Ideal for families This 2020 Sun Odyssey 490 is a solid mid-sized cruiser that suits families or groups of up to 10 looking for comfortable, relatively easy sailing. The five cabins mean everyone gets proper sleeping space rather than bunking down, which matters when you're chartering for a week.

Smart modern features You're getting a genuinely well-equipped boat here, solar panels and electric toilets suggest the owner thinks about comfort, while air conditioning, a sprayhood, and bimini keep everyone happy in warm-weather sailing. The chartplotter in the cockpit and decent sound system show attention to daily usability rather than just basics.

Fair value proposition At €3,800/week with a reasonable €3,000 deposit, this pricing sits comfortably in the mid-range for a 14-metre yacht of this vintage and spec. You're not paying premium rates, but you're also getting a modern boat with solid amenities, decent bang for your charter buck.

One note on operator AF Yachting has a 4.3/5 rating but only three reviews on record, so there's limited feedback to go on. Before committing, I'd recommend asking the operator directly about their check-in process, support during your charter, and whether they have English-speaking staff, especially useful if you're flying in from the UK or US and need seamless handover logistics.

The marina & destination

Based at Alimos Marina, in Athens, Greece. AF-SO490 is operated by AF Yachting.

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 AF-SO490 be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter AF-SO490 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 AF-SO490?

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.
