About this yacht
SailChecker Expert View
Perfect for groups This 2021 Bali 4.6 catamaran sleeps up to 12 across six cabins, making it ideal for larger families or friends looking to split costs on a week away. The zero deposit requirement is a genuine bonus that keeps your upfront commitment low.
Well-equipped vessel Rafaela comes loaded with the essentials: water maker and generator mean you're self-sufficient, while lazy jack/bag systems make sail handling effortless for mixed-ability crews. Solar panels, autopilot, and a full electronics suite keep things comfortable and convenient, and the snorkeling gear lets you make the most of Mediterranean or Caribbean anchorages.
Strong value proposition At €8,685 per week, you're looking at roughly €724 per person for 12 guests, genuinely competitive for a modern catamaran with this spec and the operator's flawless 5-star rating. The no-deposit policy sweetens an already reasonable deal.
One consideration We don't have the charter base location listed here, which matters for your flight logistics, confirm where Rafaela is based so you can factor in airport transfers and connection times from your home airport. Istion Yachting's reputation is solid, so once you know the base, you'll be in good hands.

The marina & destination
Based at Preveza Main Port, in Preveza, Greece. Rafaela is operated by Istion Yachting.
Preveza Main Port sits at the mouth of the Ambracian Gulf, making it an ideal launch point for exploring the Ionian Islands to the west and the protected waters of the gulf itself to the east. Week 1 typically involves sailing north toward Lefkada and Meganisi or south along the mainland coast to Zakynthos, with reliable northwesterly winds (Maestro) providing consistent sailing conditions. The marina offers good provisioning and is close enough to Athens airport for convenient transfers, though expect some swell in the outer Ionian during summer and plan accordingly for the narrow entrance channel.
