Ideal for larger groups. With five cabins and 11 berths, Electra works beautifully for families or friends wanting to split costs across multiple cabins rather than cramming into a smaller boat. You'll get genuine privacy without breaking the bank per person.

Modern comfort features. The 2023 build means everything is current—solar panels and an inverter take the edge off generator running, the bimini and sprayhood keep you comfortable in variable weather, and the swimming platform invites you to actually use the water you're sailing through. Autopilot and chart plotter handle the technical side so you can relax.

Solid value proposition. A €600 deposit is reasonable, and Fyly Yachting's 4.6-star rating from 14 reviews suggests they maintain their fleet well and handle client needs fairly. The Sun Odyssey 490 is a proven cruiser—you're not gambling on an unknown design.

One practical note: The charter base location isn't listed here, so before booking, confirm the airport transfer time and whether the operator provides English-speaking briefing and support (essential if you're flying intercontinental). Also clarify whether that 11-berth capacity means realistic comfort or optimistic counting—five cabins suggests good layout, but it's worth asking about cabin sizes for your group mix.

The marina & destination

Based at Paros port, in Paros, Greece. Electra is operated by Fyly Yachting.

Can Electra be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Electra 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 Electra?

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.
