The charter fee covers the yacht, standard equipment, and insurance. Cleaning, tourist tax, and any optional extras (skipper, paddle board, etc.) are billed at the base — we confirm the full breakdown when you request a quote.
Charter pricing is famously opaque. Here's everything the operator will charge — mandatory items paid at the base, plus optional add-ons you can opt into.
Perfect for couples wanting an easy-handling cruiser with comfortable accommodation. The Hanse 418 punches above its weight in the 12-meter class, three separate cabins mean you're not cramped, and the lazy jack system makes solo or shorthanded sailing genuinely relaxing.
Smart practical touches set this boat apart. Solar panels keep you off-grid longer, the electric toilet is a genuine comfort upgrade, and the sprayhood plus bimini mean you're protected from sun and spray without constant sail juggling. The included snorkeling gear and dinghy add real value for Mediterranean or Caribbean exploration.
Outstanding value proposition at €3,150 per week with zero deposit required. That price point for a modern, well-equipped 2019 boat with a 5-star operator (12 glowing reviews) is seriously competitive, you're getting reliability and peace of mind baked in.
One genuine caveat: the charter base location isn't listed in your brief. Before booking, confirm the airport transfer time and whether Istion Yachting offers English-speaking briefings, both crucial when you're flying internationally to step aboard. Check their precise base port to factor in your travel logistics.

Akti Papandreou Andrea
Lavrion is a working commercial port southeast of Athens with good road access from the capital, making it convenient for fly-in charters. From here you can reach the Saronic Gulf islands (Aegina, Poros, Hydra) within a day's sail, or head south towards the Cyclades with steady northerly winds; week one typically takes you to Kea, Kythnos, or Serifos depending on conditions. The port itself is functional rather than resort-like, but offers reasonable facilities and a practical base for exploring some of Greece's most accessible sailing grounds.
