Laertis is a well-maintained 2016 Bavaria Cruiser 41 based in Volos, a historic port on Greece's Thessalian coast and gateway to the Sporades Islands. This three-cabin sailboat sleeps seven comfortably across two heads, making her ideal for families or groups of friends seeking a week of genuine Mediterranean sailing without the complexity of a larger vessel. From Volos, you'll have immediate access to some of the Aegean's most rewarding cruising—sheltered anchorages, pine-fringed islands, and waters that range from crystalline turquoise to deep sapphire depending on the day's light.

Life aboard Laertis balances ease with capability. The boat is equipped with practical essentials: GPS and chart plotter at the helm for confident navigation, an autopilot to share the steering duties, and a bow thruster that simplifies tight marina approaches. Two electric heads and a well-appointed galley with refrigeration keep daily routines comfortable, while solar panels reduce reliance on the engine during quieter anchorages. The cockpit is genuinely livable—a bimini top and sprayhood shelter you from sun and spray, and cushioned seating encourages lingering over morning coffee or evening aperitifs as the light softens across the water.

Your week typically unfolds between the Sporades' quieter islands: Skiathos, Skopelos, and Alonissos offer a mix of sandy beaches, hidden coves, and small harbours where local tavernas serve grilled octopus and local wine. Snorkelling gear is provided, opening access to underwater life around rocky outcrops and reefs. The boat's moderate size and manageable sail plan reward both experienced sailors and those newer to bareboat cruising, while the radio-CD and cockpit speakers provide entertainment during calmer passages. Whether you're anchored off a pine-covered beach at sunset, exploring a quiet cove with mask and fins, or sharing a meal of fresh fish and local produce in a waterfront village, a week aboard Laertis offers the unhurried rhythm that defines Greek island sailing.
