About Bareboat Sailing Yacht Beneteau Oceanis 46.1
The Beneteau Oceanis 46.1 combines intelligent design with genuine sailing capability. Built in 2021, this five-cabin yacht draws on decades of French yacht-building expertise, with naval architecture by Pascal Conq and Nauta Design. The Finot-Conq hull plan maximises cockpit space and beam efficiency, whilst a stepped hull and generous hull portholes flood the interior with natural light. Whether you're an experienced sailor seeking autonomy or a confident crew, this bareboat delivers both comfort and responsive handling.
Accommodation spans five cabins (four doubles, one twin) with three heads, designed for groups or extended family charters across the Aegean. The saloon feels uncluttered and light, with thoughtful ventilation and cabin fans throughout. An electric refrigerator, inverter, and solar panels support self-sufficient cruising. Deck layout prioritises ease of use, with autopilot, bow thruster, electric winch, and roller furling on the self-tacking genoa reducing crew workload on longer passages.
Based in Lefkas, the yacht sits at the gateway to some of Europe's finest sailing waters. Charter bareboat from the Ionian across to the Cyclades and Dodecanese, or explore the Northern Sporades. Kayaks, paddle boards, and fishing gear are available to hire. Note that bareboat charters in Greece require a valid skipper's licence and relevant experience; alternatively, engage a professional skipper to occupy one guest cabin.

The Charter Experience
These waters demand respect and reward expertise. The Cyclades Islands offer steady Etesian winds and clear anchorages at Naxos, Paros, and Antiparos. Slip south to the Dodecanese for Rhodian history and sheltered bays, or north to the Northern Sporades where pine-clad hills meet turquoise straits. Seven-day itineraries typically combine open-water sailing with island stops: local tavernas, archaeological sites, and swimming coves away from charter crowds. Early-season spring sailing brings moderate winds and fewer boats; summer offers reliability but more traffic in popular anchorages.
Suggested Itinerary
A classic seven-day routing begins in Lefkas, crossing to Naxos or Paros for provisioning and anchorage. Continue south through the Cyclades to Antiparos or Kimolos, then east towards Rhodes if conditions and crew experience permit. Alternatively, explore the Ionian by sailing south from Lefkas towards the Paxi group and Corfu waters. Most routes balance open-water passages (4-6 hours typical) with day sails between islands, allowing time for swimming, snorkelling, and village exploration.
