About this yacht
The ideal choice for sport, design, and performance
Our carbon masted Xp44 combines impressive performance with simplicity of handling, appealing to all the family. The comfort and luxury level beats any mainstream charter boat and it is on the same boat that sailors around the world excel in top racing events. Stability is the key principal and by using the most advanced build technology with vacuum infusion, carbon keel frame, hull and rudder design optimization and a unique carbon mast, the result is dynamic and easy going sailing under all weather conditions.

This model was the first of the Xperformance line to be launched, and was named Sailing World’s ‘Yacht of the Year’ in 2014.

A highly optimised hull shape offers exemplary performance in a range of wind conditions, on all angles of sail, under both ORC and IRC handicap systems. Key elements of the hull design include reduced upright beam and wetted surface area, while the transom shape ensures that as windspeed builds and the boat powers up, the overall waterline length increases for additional speed.

A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing!
SailChecker Expert View

Ideal for active sailors This 2020 XP 44 is a cracking choice if you want a modern, well-equipped boat that actually sails well rather than just floating around. The shallow draft and responsive design make her brilliant for exploring shallow anchorages and sailing in varied conditions without needing heavy weather experience.

Standout features shine She's genuinely well-equipped: teak cockpit, sprayhood, and bimini mean real comfort while underway, plus snorkeling gear and electric toilet take the hassle out of cruising. The chart plotter is standard these days, but the thoughtful touches (coffee maker, proper cushions, refrigerator) suggest an operator who understands what makes charter time enjoyable.

Good value proposition At €7,180 per week with a modest €4,000 deposit, this sits in a sensible mid-range for a modern three-cabin sailboat in decent condition. You're paying for a boat that will perform, not just accommodate bodies, which matters if sailing quality matters to you.

One honest caveat The charter base location isn't listed, which is frustrating, you'll need to confirm how accessible it is from major European airports before committing. If it's in a remote charter base requiring a long transfer, factor that into your travel logistics and fatigue before your sailing week begins.

The marina & destination

Based at Olympic Marina, in Lavrion, Greece. Gazelle is operated by X-Yachting Sailing Center.

Why this is a great starting point

Olympic Marina in Lavrion sits at the southern gateway to the Saronic Gulf, giving you immediate access to the Cyclades and the sheltered island-hopping routes of the Aegean. From here, week 1 typically involves sailing southeast towards Hydra, Spetses, and Poros, with established anchorages and steady northerly winds that suit most abilities. The marina's location 45 minutes from Athens airport and proximity to less-crowded alternatives to Mykonos and Santorini makes it ideal if you want Aegean cruising without the weekend crowds of central charter bases.

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