What you'll pay

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.

Paid at the base (mandatory)

3 weeks Damage Waiver (SY 40'-43') - refundable amount 550€

If you're sailing with us for more than a week, the extra waiver cost for each additional week is 50% of the standard rate. The damage waiver is excluded from racing activities. Therefore the full Security Deposit is required for these bookings. If the yacht is returned in perfect condition, we'll give you a reward credit voucher for your next charter! This is just for you (non-transferable). It's valid until the end of the year (31/12) and can be used for a trip this year or the next.

Perfect for small groups This 2023 Bavaria C42 suits families or friends wanting a comfortable, modern sailing experience without breaking the bank. Three cabins sleeping eight make it ideal for couples or small crews who don't need mega-space but want genuine comfort.

Solid spec for the money You're getting recent build quality with genuinely useful kit, bow thruster and autopilot take stress out of sailing, solar panels mean lower generator running costs, and the bimini plus sprayhood keep you dry and shaded. Chart plotter and cockpit speakers are nice touches that suggest this owner cares about making charters enjoyable.

Outstanding zero deposit The €0 deposit is refreshingly honest and rare; it tells us Y Knot Yachting trusts their maintenance or offers exceptional value relative to competitor terms. For international clients flying in from the US or Europe, this removes friction from booking.

One realistic note At 12.4m, three cabins means modest sleeping quarters, fine for a week with people you know well, but tight if anyone values privacy or you're chartering with teenagers. The base location isn't shown in your data, so confirm flight logistics to the departure point before committing.

The marina & destination

Based at D-Marin Marina Lefkas, in Lefkada, Greece. OKTANA is operated by Y Knot Yachting.

East Shore

Why this is a great starting point

D-Marin Lefkas sits on the west coast of Lefkada, positioning you perfectly for week one exploration of the Ionian Islands; you can reach Meganisi, Scorpios, and Nidri across the channel within an hour, then push south toward Kefalonia and Ithaka. The protected waters and light northerly winds typical in summer make this an ideal launch point for less experienced sailors, while stronger crews can venture further south toward Zakynthos or explore the intricate anchorages around Paxi to the north. The marina itself offers good facilities and a reliable base for provisioning before heading into the Ionian's quieter anchorages and fjord-like inlets.

Can OKTANA be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter OKTANA bareboat (you skipper) if you hold the relevant sailing licence, or hire a professional skipper alongside the yacht. The choice is yours when you request the quote.

What sailing licence do I need to charter OKTANA?

Bareboat charter typically requires a recognised sailing licence (RYA Day Skipper, ICC, ASA, or equivalent) plus a VHF radio licence. The exact requirements depend on the country of charter — we confirm with the operator when you enquire.

What's included in the charter price?

The charter fee covers the yacht, standard equipment, and insurance for the dates booked. Tourist tax, transit log (final cleaning + bed linen), fuel, food, marina fees during the trip, and any optional extras (skipper, paddle board, etc.) are normally extra and paid at the base.

What additional costs should I expect at the base?

Typical mandatory extras are the transit log (often €200–€350), tourist tax (a small per-person-per-day fee), and a refundable security deposit (often €1,500–€5,000 depending on the yacht). Optional extras like a skipper, hostess, paddle board, or early check-in are listed on the quote.

How does the security deposit work?

The deposit is held by the operator at check-in (usually card pre-authorisation) and refunded after check-out if the yacht is returned without damage. Many operators offer a deposit-waiver insurance product that reduces the held amount in exchange for a smaller non-refundable premium.

Can I cancel my charter booking?

Cancellation terms vary by operator. Most allow cancellation with a full refund if requested more than 60–90 days before the start date, with progressive penalties closer to departure. Some operators offer a flexible-cancellation insurance product when you book.

Is the yacht insured?

Yes — every yacht is insured by the operator against damage and third-party liability. The insurance covers the yacht itself; personal effects and trip cancellation are not covered and are worth insuring separately.

What documents do I need to bring?

You'll need your passport, sailing licence (if chartering bareboat), VHF radio licence, and proof of payment. The operator will send a check-in form ahead of time covering crew details and any special requests.

What payment methods are accepted?

Charter fees are normally paid by bank transfer in advance (often a 50% deposit at booking, balance 30 days before charter). On-base extras are usually paid by card or in cash.
