SailChecker Expert View

Perfect for larger groups With 12 berths across 6 cabins, Helia suits families or friend groups wanting to charter together without splitting costs across multiple boats. The 2019 Sun Odyssey 490 is a proven, spacious design that handles 12 people comfortably—rare to find at this capacity.

Well-equipped modern vessel The 2022 refit with new electric winches, air conditioning, and 10kVA generator means you've got genuine comfort extras: solar panels reduce fuel costs, the bow thruster simplifies tight anchorages, and the teak deck adds character. Snorkeling gear and dinghy included is a nice touch for exploring anchorages.

Strong value proposition You're getting a large, recently upgraded boat with serious equipment—AC, generator, electric systems—at what appears to be competitive pricing. The Patronis operator's perfect 5-star rating (albeit from just 3 reviews) suggests reliable service and well-maintained vessels.

One practical note: The charter base location isn't specified in the listing, so confirm flight logistics before booking—getting 12 people to a remote Greek island or Croatian marina involves coordinated airport transfers and potentially tight connections. Ask Patronis directly about their nearest international airport and ground handling for large groups.

Frequently asked questions
Can Helia (A/C, Gen. 10kVA, Electric Winch NEW 2022) be rented with or without a skipper?
You can charter Helia (A/C, Gen. 10kVA, Electric Winch NEW 2022) 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 Helia (A/C, Gen. 10kVA, Electric Winch NEW 2022)?
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.
