Who It Suits. This new Bali 4.4 works well for groups of 6-8 looking for comfortable, stable cruising in the Ionian Islands without fussing over a monohull. The six cabins give everyone their own space, which matters on a week-long charter with family or friends.
What Stands Out. You're getting a 2023 catamaran with the beamy stability and shallow draft that makes these boats reliable in varying conditions; the Ionian delivers consistent winds and relatively forgiving anchorages, so you'll spend less time wrestling with the boat and more time exploring Lefkas, Meganissi, and Kefalonia. The cabin count is genuinely useful for larger parties compared to monohulls of similar length.
Value For Money. At 6300 euros per week, this sits mid-market for a new catamaran in Greece; you're paying for a recent build, decent payload capacity, and the operator's local knowledge. That's fair without being cheap, though the 4000 euro deposit is substantial, so check what breakage coverage that actually includes.
One Honest Caveat. Port of Lefkas is a working fishing harbour rather than a glitzy resort base, which means fewer tourist amenities right at the marina but also quieter provisioning and fewer crowds; it suits independent sailors more than those wanting on-tap restaurants and services. If that feels like a trade-off rather than a plus, consider Gouvia or Corfu instead.

Based at Port of Lefkas, Greece. Bali 4.4 is operated by El Yachting.
Port of Lefkas sits at the northern gateway to the Ionian Islands, putting you within day-sailing distance of Meganisi, Kalamos, and the Scorpios group; week one typically involves exploring these sheltered anchorages with consistent northwesterly winds that favour southbound passages. The marina itself offers good provisioning and repair facilities, essential before heading into the more remote southern Ionian. From here you can reach Ithaca and Kefalonia by mid-week, making this an ideal base for first-time visitors to Greek waters seeking a mix of established mooring fields and quieter island passages.
