About Kavas Cabin Charters

The Kavas Cabin Charters(actually operated by a Dutch company but promoted by Kavas), in general, are an excellent value and you probably won't find anything that compares in price in Greece, but there are a few things that you may want to be aware of.

The cabin charters are operated by a Dutch company and promoted by Kavas

1. The cost of the skipper's meals will be shared by the participants. With 6 people sharing the costs it will be less expensive, if there are less people than the cost per person will go up.(A skipper usually costs 130 euro a day when you charter your own yacht, so if you have only a couple of people on the yacht, you virtually have the skipper for the cost his meals!)

2. There have been times that the organization of the start of the charter is been less than stellar. The yacht may not be ready and you may be asked to wait until it is prepared or the skipper has arrived.

3. The itinerary starting and/or ending points have, on occasion been changed. In some cases only a day or two before the charter starts. This has happened a couple of times so you need to leave you contact info(phone numbers or e-mail that we can reach you at)with us so that we can let you know that a change has been made.(or you need to contact Kavas a day or two before your charter to confirm that the itinerary hasn't been changed).

Overall, the charter is a good value but the exact cost will depend on the number of passengers.

To give you an idea of the chances of things going wrong with a Kavas Cabin Charter, I only receive one or two complaints about the charter each year(and one of them this year was because the yacht was damaged on the charter before the client's so there was a little bit of a delay and scurrying about as a replacement boat had to be found.

I try to compare the Kavas Cabin Charters to a charter flight, which is usually a good deal and if everything goes smoothly it will be a great deal. On the other hand there is a possibility that your flight might be delayed(and that is usually when you start questioning whether it was worth the money you saved).

When deciding to charter the Kavas Cabin Charter you need to keep the above in mind and weigh the possible inconvenience vs. the money you save and decide if it is worth the risk for you. If it is worth the risk, then go ahead with it.... if it's not worth the risk then you'll probably want to look at another cabin charter.(But keep in mind that going with another charter will not guarantee that problems may arise- it will just significantly lower the chances.
