Perfect for couples and small groups. The Isla 40 is an excellent choice if you're looking to split costs with friends or family—four cabins mean everyone gets private space, and at under €3,600/week, the per-person price is genuinely competitive for a 2024 catamaran of this size.

Well-equipped and thoughtfully designed. This boat ticks all the boxes: water maker for extended cruising, air conditioning (crucial in warm climates), electric winches to reduce physical effort, and solar panels plus generator for reliable power. The sprayhood and bimini keep you comfortable in sun and spray, while modern navigation gear like autopilot and chart plotter make passage-making straightforward.

Strong operator backing. Blue Memories holds a perfect 5/5 rating across seven reviews, which matters when you're flying internationally to collect a boat—you want to know the handover process and support will be reliable and professional.

One realistic note: At 12.3m, you're working with a compact deck layout, so four cabins means cosy quarters rather than sprawling suites. For a week-long charter with eight people, it's practical and fun; for longer trips or those wanting more elbow room, you might want to compare against slightly larger cats in the 13–14m range.

The marina & destination

Based at D-Marin Marina Lefkas, in Lefkada, Greece. ELIA is operated by Blue Memories.

East Shore

Can ELIA be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter ELIA 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 ELIA ?

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.
