Ideal for larger groups The Sun Odyssey 490 is built for families or friend groups wanting serious space, five cabins and ten berths mean you won't feel cramped, even on longer charters. At 14.4m, she's substantial enough to handle varied conditions while remaining manageable for experienced sailors.

Well-equipped modern cruiser Avra punches above her weight with solar panels, Wi-Fi, bow thruster, and a swimming platform, practical features that make extended cruising comfortable and charming rather than roughing it. The 2019 build year and full electronics suite suggest she's well-maintained and ready for both day sailing and passage-making.

Strong value proposition At €4,395 per week with a modest €3,000 deposit, this is competitive pricing for a five-cabin vessel of this calibre. You're getting recent build quality and solid kit without premium-charter pricing.

One honest note We've only one review on file, so the operator track record is unproven at scale, worth asking direct questions about turnover, maintenance frequency, and guest feedback before committing. As an international traveler, you'll want clarity on airport transfers and whether Olympic Yachting supports your specific arrival airport.

The marina & destination

Based at Lavrion Main Port, in Lavrion, Greece. Avra 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 Avra be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Avra 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 Avra?

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.
