Perfect for groups. The Lagoon 42 "Aria" sleeps up to 12 across six cabins, making it ideal for families or friends wanting to charter together without splitting costs across multiple boats. That's genuinely rare value when you're gathering people for a week.

Well-equipped modern cat. Built in 2020, she's got the essentials covered: water maker, solar panels, air conditioning, electric winches, and a generator mean you won't be roughing it. The chart plotter in the cockpit and dinghy with outboard round out a solid cruising setup for independent exploring.

Reasonable mid-range pricing. At around €5,500 per week with only a €3,500 deposit, this is competitive for a six-cabin catamaran in that size range, especially one this new. You're getting modern comfort without premium pricing.

One note of caution: The operator rating is based on just one review, so there's limited track record to assess reliability and service consistency. Before booking, I'd recommend asking Odyssey Sailing directly about their experience with international groups and response times for issues, crucial when you're flying from overseas.

The marina & destination

Based at Port of Volos, in Volos, Greece. Aria is operated by Odyssey Sailing.

Why this is a great starting point

Volos sits at the gateway to the Sporades islands, making it ideal for week-one cruising to Skiathos, Skopelos, and Alonissos with consistent northerly winds; the crossing to these islands typically takes 4-8 hours depending on your chosen anchorage. The marina offers good facilities and the Pelion peninsula provides a scenic backdrop, though expect the meltemi wind to strengthen as the season progresses. From here you can also explore the quieter Evia coast to the south or venture north towards Thassos if conditions allow, giving you flexibility for a relaxed first week of chartering.

Can Aria be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Aria 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 Aria ?

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.
