About this yacht
BOWTHRUSTER, SOLAS PANELS, ELECTRIC TOILETS, OUTBOARD INCLUDED
SailChecker Expert View

Who it suits This 2020 Sun Odyssey 490 is ideal for families or small groups who want a modern, comfortable sailboat without breaking the bank, five cabins sleep up to nine, giving you space and privacy. It's manageable for confident sailors (14m is a good size for mixed-ability crews) while still offering the comfort of contemporary systems.

Standout features The bow thruster, autopilot, and solar panels show thoughtful spec for longer cruising, and the sprayhood plus bimini mean you're actually protected from the elements. Full snorkeling kit included is a nice bonus, plus having a chart plotter and cockpit speakers keeps things modern and practical.

Excellent value At €4,160 per week with zero deposit and backed by Istion Yachting's strong 5-star rating (12 reviews), this represents solid money for a near-new five-cabin boat. You're getting decent equipment and a reputable operator, which matters when flying from the US, UK, or Europe to an unfamiliar base.

One caveat The base location isn't listed in your data, so check exactly where she's moored, transfer time from the airport could range from 30 minutes to several hours depending on whether it's somewhere central like the Greek islands or a more remote coast.

The marina & destination

Based at Preveza Main Port, in Preveza, Greece. Bellatrix is operated by Istion Yachting.

Why this is a great starting point

Preveza Main Port sits at the mouth of the Ambracian Gulf, making it an ideal launch point for exploring the Ionian Islands to the west and the protected waters of the gulf itself to the east. Week 1 typically involves sailing north toward Lefkada and Meganisi or south along the mainland coast to Zakynthos, with reliable northwesterly winds (Maestro) providing consistent sailing conditions. The marina offers good provisioning and is close enough to Athens airport for convenient transfers, though expect some swell in the outer Ionian during summer and plan accordingly for the narrow entrance channel.

Frequently asked questions
Can Bellatrix be rented with or without a skipper?
You can charter Bellatrix 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 Bellatrix?
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.
