About this yacht
BOWTHRUSTER, SOLAR PANELS, ELECTRIC TOILETS, OUTBOARD INCLUDED
SailChecker Expert View

Well-rounded starter yacht The Dufour 390 suits couples and small families new to bareboat sailing or looking for stress-free cruising, three cabins sleep up to eight, though realistically you'll be more comfortable with five or six. The 2020 build means everything feels fresh, and the 11.9-metre size is forgiving enough to handle without a skipper's license in most Mediterranean countries.

Smart everyday features This boat ticks the practical boxes: bow thruster and autopilot take the sweat out of docking and long passages, while solar panels keep your fridge running without hammering the engine. The sprayhood, bimini, and cockpit cushions show someone thought about comfort, and snorkeling gear is included, handy for dropping anchor in clear water.

Strong value proposition At €2,975 per week with zero deposit required and a five-star operator backing it, you're getting a reliable, well-maintained platform without the financial friction. Istion Yachting's 12 solid reviews suggest consistent service, which matters when you're flying in from abroad and have limited time to troubleshoot.

One honest note A Dufour 390 is sensible and capable, but it won't turn heads or offer the performance buzz of sportier models, it's built for relaxation and straightforward handling, not thrills. If you're experienced and want to push harder, look elsewhere; if you want a hassle-free week afloat,

The marina & destination

Based at D-Marin Marina Lefkas, in Lefkada, Greece. Easy Living is operated by Istion 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.

Frequently asked questions
Can Easy Living be rented with or without a skipper?
You can charter Easy Living 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 Easy Living?
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.
