What KateBot thinks Strengths and trade-offs KateBot generated · ~200 words

Who This Suits. AQUARELLA works well for groups of up to 11 people who want comfort without the price tag of larger catamarans, or families wanting dual-hull stability with reasonable running costs. The 2022 build and Fountaine Pajot reputation mean you get solid build quality rather than cutting corners.

The Standout Features. Generator, air conditioning, and watermaker are genuinely useful additions on a catamaran this size; many competitors skip the watermaker, which saves fresh water anxiety on longer charters. Five cabins across 13.9 metres is decent layout efficiency, and the catamaran hull keeps things level and motion-free.

Value For Money. At EUR 7,280 per week from Lefkas, you are paying catamaran comfort at a reasonable rate, especially with those onboard systems included. The 3,000 euro deposit is standard and manageable. For Atlantic crossover ports like Lefkas, international flight connections are straightforward, and the base operator has a solid track record.

One Honest Note. Five cabins sharing 11 berths means some guests will be on saloon bunks or pullouts rather than dedicated cabins; confirm the exact layout fits your group before booking. If everyone needs a proper cabin, this boat stretches thin past nine people.

The marina & destination Port of Lefkas · Greece Port of Lefkas

Based at Port of Lefkas, Greece. AQUARELLA is operated by Perfect Yachts.

Why this is a great starting point

Port of Lefkas sits at the northern gateway to the Ionian Islands, putting you within day-sailing distance of Meganisi, Kalamos, and the Scorpios group; week one typically involves exploring these sheltered anchorages with consistent northwesterly winds that favour southbound passages. The marina itself offers good provisioning and repair facilities, essential before heading into the more remote southern Ionian. From here you can reach Ithaca and Kefalonia by mid-week, making this an ideal base for first-time visitors to Greek waters seeking a mix of established mooring fields and quieter island passages.

Possible routes 3 hand-picked itineraries Greece · three classic charter areas

A starting point, not a script — pick one as a template and we'll tailor the dates, stops, and pace to your crew.

Saronic Gulf 7 days · ~120 nm · 5 stops

Short legs, reliable wind, history at every stop. Best first-charter route in Greece.

1 Athens (Alimos)
The main Saronic charter base; 25 minutes from the airport.
2 Aegina
Easy first-day sail; try the pistachios. Anchor at Perdika.
3 Poros
Narrow channel between island and mainland; charming town quay.
4 Hydra
No cars on the island. Tie alongside the working harbour for the evening.
5 Spetses
Old shipbuilding island, elegant. Old harbour is the spot.
Cyclades 7-10 days · ~180 nm · 5 stops

Meltemi wind July-August. Plan for one weather day — and book the marina in advance for the islands you do not want to miss.

1 Athens
Departure. Check the wind forecast and consider clockwise vs counter-clockwise.
2 Kea
Sheltered bays on the south side; first-night-out easy.
3 Paros
Naoussa for the small-village vibe; Parikia if you need provisions.
4 Naxos
The biggest island in the Cyclades. Mountain villages worth a hire-car day.
5 Mykonos
Tie alongside in the new marina; the old town quays are for tourist boats.
Ionian 7 days · ~120 nm · 4 stops

Light, predictable winds. Easiest sailing in Greece — most-loved by families and first-timers stepping up.

Charter base. Provision in the town; the bridge opens on the hour.
2 Meganisi
Vathy or Spartochori; both have quayside tavernas with welcome moorings.
3 Ithaca
Vathi harbour for the night, then to Frikes for the quiet morning.
4 Kefalonia
Fiskardo is the postcard town. Book the quay.
Frequently asked questions 14 answers Charter basics · deposits · what's included
Can AQUARELLA be rented with or without a skipper?
You can charter AQUARELLA 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 AQUARELLA?
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.
Bareboat or skippered — which suits our crew?
Bareboat is for crews with at least one experienced skipper (RYA Day Skipper / ICC level) plus a co-skipper, and a track record of similar passages. Skippered charters add a professional skipper for typically £150–£250 per day — recommended if anyone in your group is light on Mediterranean experience, if you want a relaxed week without responsibility, or if the area is new to you. You can also hire a hostess (cook + cabin help) on top.
Can we sail to a neighbouring country during the charter?
Sometimes, with the operator's written consent and the right paperwork. Common cross-borders: Croatia → Montenegro, Greece → Turkey, BVI → USVI. Most operators charge a one-off cruising-permit fee (typically €100–€300) and need 4–8 weeks' notice. Tell us at quote time and we'll arrange it — spontaneous border-crossing during the trip usually isn't allowed.
Do I need travel insurance on top of the charter insurance?
Yes. The yacht is insured by the operator for damage and third-party liability, but that doesn't cover you. Charter cancellation insurance (typically 4–5% of the charter fee) covers you if you have to cancel last-minute; standard travel insurance covers medical, flight, and personal-effects loss. We can recommend a UK broker that bundles both.
What happens if there's bad weather on the day?
For day-to-day weather you'll plan the week to avoid the worst — the Adriatic and Aegean have very predictable wind patterns. If a serious storm makes the start-day handover impossible, the operator delays check-in until conditions improve and refunds any lost days. The yacht itself is insured against weather damage, so you're not exposed.
Can I hold this yacht while I decide?
Yes — an option holds the yacht in your name for typically 48–72 hours at no cost. Useful if you're waiting on the rest of the crew to confirm, comparing it against another yacht, or sorting flights. Ask us when you enquire and we'll arrange the option with the operator.
