The charter fee covers the yacht, standard equipment, and insurance. Cleaning, tourist tax, and any optional extras (skipper, paddle board, etc.) are billed at the base — we confirm the full breakdown when you request a quote.
Charter pricing is famously opaque. Here's everything the operator will charge — mandatory items paid at the base, plus optional add-ons you can opt into.
Perfect for groups Helona is ideal if you're chartering with friends or family, 12 berths across 4 cabins means everyone gets their own space without feeling cramped. At 12.4m, she's compact enough to handle easily but roomy enough that groups don't trip over each other.
Well-equipped modern catamaran This 2022 Bali offers the essentials you'd want: solar panels and an inverter keep power flowing, the flybridge gives you extra outdoor living, and thoughtful touches like an ice maker and coffee maker make life aboard genuinely comfortable. The swimming platform and dinghy round out a solid feature set for exploration.
Strong value proposition At roughly €720 per person per week (for 8 people), you're getting a recent catamaran with twin hulls, naturally more stable than monohulls, plus good kit, all for a reasonable rate. The €3,000 deposit is straightforward.
One practical note The charter base location isn't specified in the details, which matters for your travel logistics from Europe or North America. Before booking, confirm where Helona is based and how long transfers from your nearest international airport will actually take, that often affects the real cost and hassle of the trip.

Based at Port of Volos, in Volos, Greece. Helona is operated by Discovery Yachting.
Volos sits at the gateway to the Sporades islands, making it ideal for week-one cruising to Skiathos, Skopelos, and Alonissos with consistent northerly winds; the crossing to these islands typically takes 4-8 hours depending on your chosen anchorage. The marina offers good facilities and the Pelion peninsula provides a scenic backdrop, though expect the meltemi wind to strengthen as the season progresses. From here you can also explore the quieter Evia coast to the south or venture north towards Thassos if conditions allow, giving you flexibility for a relaxed first week of chartering.
