4-cabin catamaran Excess 11 - Lydia was built in 2025 and it is docked in Lefkada Nikiana, Greece.

Lydia can accommodate up to 10 people in 4 double cabins and a saloon with 2 extra beds. Pillows and blankets are included in the price.

Catamaran Lydia offers 2 toilets with a shower.

Boat equipment features a classic mainsail, solar panels, a bimini and an outside GPS plotter. It also boasts an audio system and outside speakers. The fully-equipped galley includes a fridge, an oven, a cooker, a sink and kitchen utensils.

Perfect for groups The Excess 11 "Lydia" is an excellent choice if you're chartering with friends or family, 10 berths across 4 cabins means everyone gets reasonable comfort without cramming. The 2025 build date is a real plus; you're getting a nearly new catamaran with all the modern conveniences.

Well-equipped vessel This boat ticks all the boxes for a hassle-free week: solar panels keep the batteries topped up, an ice maker and solid galley setup mean proper meals onboard, and the sprayhood plus bimini give you shade and weather protection. Wi-Fi and radar are genuine bonuses for longer passages or less-familiar cruising grounds.

Good value proposition At 11.3 metres, you're getting a spacious, stable platform (catamarans excel here) with premium kit like teak decking and an electric toilet, all standard rather than add-ons. The €3,000 deposit is reasonable, and Theta Yachts' perfect rating suggests reliable service, though the small review sample means you should ask direct questions about their support.

One note on location The charter base isn't listed here, so I'd confirm flight connections and airport transfer times before booking, that matters when you're flying intercontinental to reach the boat. Once you know where "Lydia" is based, verify whether Theta handles transfers or if you'll need to arrange your own.

The marina & destination

Based at Nikiana Marina, in Lefkada, Greece. Lydia is operated by Theta Yachts.

Why this is a great starting point

Nikiana Marina sits on Lefkada's east coast, offering straightforward access to the Ionian islands' protected waters and steady northwesterly winds typical of summer conditions. Week 1 charters naturally progress south through Meganisi and Kalamos, or north toward Skorpios and Ithaca, with all anchorages lying within 15-25 nautical miles; the shallow, predictable conditions suit both experienced sailors and those returning to the water. The surrounding Ionian offers relatively short passages between islands, making it ideal for crews wanting to establish their rhythm without long overnight crossings.

Can Lydia be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Lydia 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 Lydia?

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.
