The 4 cabin’s bareboat sailing yacht Oceanis 43 was built in 2009 and it is docked in Volos, Greece. The Oceanis 43 (2009) can accommodate up to 8 people in 4 cabins and it has 2 toilets. The overall length of the boat is 43 ft / 13,0 m. The main equipment (find the complete list on the ’Equipments’ tab): cockpit table, autopilot, electric anchor windlass, swimming ladder, bimini top, inverter, GPS chart plotter, dinghy and it’s obligatory extras: standard charter pack. You can check-in from 17:00 h and check-out until 09:00 h.
Why charter this Oceanis 43
4 cabins for 8 berths means about 2 guests per cabin, so bag storage and sleeping turns are clear before departure. 4 guests per head matters on early marina mornings, when showers, breakfast and casting off compete for time. At 13 m, this sailing yacht works best when swim stops still leave time for the evening berth.
Best charter fit
Oceanis 43 suits crews comparing cabin separation, luggage storage and bathroom timing across 4 cabins and 2 heads. Choose it for short hops or swim stops where boarding access, seating and deck storage matter more than sail handling.
The Pagasitic Gulf and the crossing to the Sporades from Volos
Volos sits under Mount Pelion at the head of a deeply indented gulf, and that shelter is the point: the Pagasitic Gulf coves give far more protection than the open Aegean outside, so most of the week can be spent inside it. After handover, the near Pelion shore or a cove toward Trikeri makes a first anchorage while you read the forecast for the crossing. Nea Anchialos Airport (VOL) is a short drive, with Thessaloniki (SKG) the longer one. The days stay in the gulf, working the anchorages at Trikeri and along Pelion. The one commitment is the exposed crossing out to Skiathos, so make it in calm weather and keep the last night inside the gulf.
