Hostess

*CREW (require their cabin/head) Provisions for crew must include an allowance of up to €30/day/crew for meals. If the crew joins guests for meals ashore, the allowance does not apply. The Charterer may cancel the crew service up to 31 days before embarkation without incurring any penalty. Sail Emerald solely provides facilitation services to help the Charterer directly hire local freelance crew, without any additional fees or charges and does not act as a crew agency or employer and assumes no responsibility for the performance of the crew’s services. No warranties or representations are made regarding the quality or reliability of the crew’s services, and Sail Emerald shall not be liable for any act, omission, or negligence of the crew members. Crew gratuities and 24% VAT are not included in the rate.

€190 per night optional

Crew change in base

Crew Change: The permanent disembarkation of passengers who boarded at the start of the journey is prohibited if it exceeds seventy-five per cent (75%). The permanent disembarkation of passengers who boarded during the journey is prohibited if it exceeds seventy-five per cent (75%) of the number of additional passengers. The crew change policy outlined specifies that a crew change during a charter is by law only permissible up to 75%. If the change exceeds this threshold, it necessitates the issuance of a new charter contract, which must be processed through one of Sail Emerald affiliate’s bases due to the requirement for new procedures with port authorities. The fees associated with crew changes are set at €120, which covers water, electricity, and marina fees/services across all affiliate’s bases. For crew changes of less than 75%, an additional term can be added to the existing charter contract, allowing the process to avoid the need to visit any base for port procedures. If a new skipper is introduced, an extra charge ranging from €135 to €425 (for check-in/out fee) will apply, depending on the boat's size. This structured approach ensures compliance with port authority regulations while providing flexibility for charter clients regarding crew management.

Perfect for larger groups The Sun Odyssey 519 "Mayflower" is genuinely well-suited to families or friends chartering together, 12 berths across 6 cabins means everyone gets their own space without feeling cramped. For international guests flying in, this size boat offers the comfort and amenities that justify the long-haul travel.

Standout features shine The spec sheet here is genuinely impressive: water maker, solar panels, bow thruster, and a full suite of modern conveniences mean you're not roughing it. The inclusion of snorkeling gear and a dinghy adds real value for Mediterranean or tropical exploration, and the 2020 build year suggests everything should still be in excellent condition.

Strong value proposition At €5,384 per week with a modest €3,500 deposit, this is fair pricing for a 15.4-metre boat with six cabins and premium systems. You're paying for genuine comfort and capability, not just a bareboat with basic kit.

One fair note The operator has only 2 reviews on record, which isn't a red flag, just means less public history to verify consistency. We'd recommend checking directly about their handover process and support during your charter week, especially if this is your first large-group sail.

The marina & destination

Based at Marina Benitses, in Mpenitses, Greece. Mayflower is operated by Sail Emerald JV.

Why this is a great starting point

Marina Benitses sits on Corfu's east coast and works well as a base for exploring the Ionian Islands. From here you can reach Paxos and Antipaxos within a few hours, then continue south to Lefkada and Meganisi in week one, benefiting from the reliable northerly etesian winds that funnel down the Ionian channel. The shallow, protected waters around Benitses itself suit sailors new to Greek conditions, while the nearby Albanian coast and Diapontia Islands offer quieter anchorages if you prefer to stay close.

Can Mayflower be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Mayflower 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 Mayflower?

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.
