Who It Suits. Stelina works best for larger groups or multi-family charters looking for comfortable, sociable sailing in the Ionian; the seven cabins and 13 berths give everyone their own space without feeling cramped. If you're flying from the US or further afield, Preveza is a straightforward 90-minute drive from Corfu airport, making it a reasonable gateway.
What Stands Out. This 2021 Bali catamaran delivers the stability and interior volume that make cats popular for group charters, plus modern build quality that should mean fewer mechanical surprises during your week. The Ionian coast itself is the real asset here; sheltered islands, manageable sailing distances, and characterful anchorages justify the destination even if the boat were ordinary.
Value For Money. At around €8,970 per week, you're looking at roughly €690 per person for a 13-berth charter, which is honest value for a new cat in a Mediterranean hotspot. You'll want to factor in fuel, mooring fees, and a skipper if your group lacks experience; those costs can add 20-30 percent to the headline rate.
One Thing To Check. The listing doesn't specify water capacity, engine size, or what's included in the base package (life jackets, inflatable, navigation kit), so contact Crystal Sea Yachting directly before committing. Preveza itself is functional rather than glamorous, so if your group values pre-charter infrastructure and nightlife

Based at Preveza Marina, Greece. Stelina is operated by Crystal Sea Yachting.
Preveza Marina sits at the entrance to the Ionian Sea, making it ideal for charters heading north to the Paxi islands and Corfu or south toward the Peloponnese; week 1 typically covers the sheltered waters and small anchorages between Lefkada and the Albanian coast, with consistent northerly winds favoring an initial southbound passage. The marina's position on Greece's western coast offers quick access to some of the Ionian's most protected cruising grounds, including the Echinades islands and Meganisi, all reachable within a few hours under sail.
