SailChecker Expert View

Perfect for groups This 2025 Excess 11 is ideal for couples or small families wanting comfortable shared cruising—four cabins sleep eight without cramping anyone's style. The catamaran hull delivers excellent stability and shallow draft, making it forgiving for less experienced sailors.

Well-equipped modern cat You're getting solid kit here: autopilot, chart plotter, and radar take the stress out of navigation, while solar panels plus electric toilet and ice maker speak to thoughtful cruising comfort. The sprayhood and bimini keep sun and spray at bay—essential for longer passages or tropical conditions.

Strong operator foundation MG Yachts shows a perfect 5-star rating, though with only two reviews it's a smaller sample; worth asking direct questions about their maintenance standards and support during your charter. The €3,500 deposit is reasonable for a modern bareboat of this size and specification.

One honest note We can't see the base location or pricing here, which matters—an 11.4m catamaran charter cost varies dramatically by region and season, so clarify total cost and whether the fuel/provisioning allowances suit your budget before committing.

The marina & destination

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

Frequently asked questions
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.
