About this yacht
SailChecker Expert View
Well-suited for couples and small families wanting a comfortable bareboat or skippered escape, the five cabins sleep nine, so you've got flexibility whether you're bringing kids or friends. The 2018 build means modern systems without feeling too high-tech to manage.
Standout kit includes solar panels and an inverter for decent energy independence, plus a generator for peace of mind on longer passages. Sprayhood and bimini keep you dry and shaded, autopilot handles the wheel, and the dinghy with outboard opens up anchorages and beach stops easily.
Fair value proposition at €7,290/week for a well-equipped 15m cruiser with five double cabins, especially notable that there's zero deposit required, which removes friction for international guests flying in. Istion Yachting's perfect 5/5 rating (12 reviews) suggests reliable handover and backup support.
One honest note: The base location isn't listed in your data, which matters quite a bit for flight connections and total trip cost for US and European clients. I'd recommend asking Istion directly where "Joy" operates, Mediterranean, Adriatic, or beyond, so you can factor in the transfer logistics to reach her.

The marina & destination
Based at D-Marin Marina Lefkas, in Lefkada, Greece. Joy is operated by Istion Yachting.
East Shore
D-Marin Lefkas sits on the west coast of Lefkada, positioning you perfectly for week one exploration of the Ionian Islands; you can reach Meganisi, Scorpios, and Nidri across the channel within an hour, then push south toward Kefalonia and Ithaka. The protected waters and light northerly winds typical in summer make this an ideal launch point for less experienced sailors, while stronger crews can venture further south toward Zakynthos or explore the intricate anchorages around Paxi to the north. The marina itself offers good facilities and a reliable base for provisioning before heading into the Ionian's quieter anchorages and fjord-like inlets.
