Best for groups This 15.6m Hanse 508 is a serious option if you're bringing 8, 12 people together or chartering for a small corporate gathering. Six cabins mean everyone gets their own bunk, which keeps group dynamics happy on longer trips.

Solid modern kit Built in 2021, Medusa II comes well-equipped with autopilot, dual chart plotters, and a working dinghy, all the essentials for confident sailing without surprises. The Bimini and cockpit cushions show the operator thinks about comfort, not just logistics.

Strong value proposition At €3,000 per week from the Ionian Islands base, you're looking at roughly €250, 300 per person if you split costs across ten sailors, which is genuinely competitive for a modern, spacious monohull in the Mediterranean. The €4,000 deposit is reasonable for a boat this size.

One note on reviews Only two reviews on record means limited feedback to assess consistency, worth reaching out directly to Ionian Catamarans to ask about recent charter feedback and their support if issues arise. The 5/5 rating is positive but a small sample size.

The marina & destination

Based at Port of Lefkas, in Lefkada, Greece. Medusa II is operated by Ionian Catamarans.

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.

Can Medusa II be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Medusa II 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 Medusa II?

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.
