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.
Who it suits: This is a brilliant choice for mixed-ability groups of 4, 6 sailing in summer, or families wanting comfortable coastal cruising without the complexity of larger yachts. At 12.4m, the Hanse 418 is spacious enough to feel grown-up, but nimble enough that less experienced sailors won't feel overwhelmed.
Standout features: The 2024 build is genuinely fresh, you're getting brand-new systems, updated electronics, and a teak cockpit that feels special. Solar panels, bow thruster, and a sprayhood mean real comfort in the Aegean; the bimini and cockpit speakers are the cherry on top for relaxed sailing days.
Value for money: At €2,660/week plus a modest €2,500 deposit, this represents excellent value for a nearly-new, well-equipped three-cabin boat in a premium sailing region. You're paying fair price, not premium price, which is rare for a 2024 vessel in the Aegean.
One honest note: The operator has only two reviews on record, so track record is limited, always worth asking NORTH AEGEAN SAILING MIKE directly about their cancellation policy and support availability during your charter week.

Based at Sivota Marina Lefkada, in Sivota, Greece. Dolce Vita is operated by NORTH AEGEAN SAILING MIKE.
Sivota Marina sits on the northwest coast of Lefkada, offering immediate access to the Ionian islands and the sheltered waters of the Lefkada lagoon. Week 1 typically covers the short hops south to Meganisi and Skorpios, or north to Nydri and the Echinades group, all within 5 to 15 nautical miles of the marina. The prevailing northerly winds (Etesian) during summer make this an ideal base for sailing south down the Ionian chain toward Kefalonia and Zakynthos, with reliable day-sailing distances and good holding in the bays between islands.
