Perfect for groups. This 11.3-metre catamaran sleeps 12 across six cabins, making it ideal for families or friends wanting to share costs on a week-long escape, the zero deposit is a nice bonus that reduces upfront commitment.

Modern and well-equipped. Built in 2023, Ad Astra comes with solid cruising kit: air conditioning, heating, generator, solar panels, autopilot, and Wi-Fi keep everyone comfortable and connected, while the teak cockpit and speakers add a touch of style for evening gatherings.

Strong value proposition. At around €5,319 per week, you're looking at roughly €440 per person for a dozen guests, genuinely competitive for a brand-new catamaran with this spec and cabin count, especially if you're flying internationally to reach the charter base.

One practical note: The base location isn't specified in your details, which matters for international travellers calculating airport transfers and flight connections. I'd recommend confirming the departure point (Mediterranean, Caribbean, etc.) directly with More Sailing before committing, so you can factor in travel time and any overnight stays needed.

The marina & destination

Based at Preveza Main Port, in Preveza, Greece. Ad Astra is operated by More Sailing.

Why this is a great starting point

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.

Can Ad Astra be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Ad Astra 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 Ad Astra?

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.
