About this yacht
A/C, GENERATOR, WATER MAKER, ELECTRIC WINCH, HYDRAULIC GANGWAY, OUTBOARD INCLUDED
SailChecker Expert View

Perfect for groups The Aurora is an excellent choice if you're gathering friends or family for a week away, five cabins and twelve berths mean everyone gets their own sleeping space without feeling cramped. At nearly 13 metres, this 2021 Lagoon catamaran offers the stability and comfort that multihulls are known for, plus a genuinely spacious saloon where the whole crew can relax together.

Well-equipped and modern You're getting a boat with all the essentials for independent cruising: solar panels, generator, autopilot, and a hydraulic gangway make life easier, while the sprayhood and bimini keep you comfortable in variable weather. The inclusion of snorkeling gear and dinghy means you can explore anchorages properly without paying extras, and the lazy jack system takes the sting out of sail handling.

Solid value proposition At around €4,550 per week with zero deposit required, this represents fair pricing for a modern, five-cabin cat in 2021 condition. Istion Yachting's flawless 5/5 rating across twelve reviews suggests you're dealing with a reliable, professional operator, important when you're coordinating an international group charter.

Location matters here The base location isn't specified in the listing, which is unusual and worth clarifying before booking; you'll need to know your flight connections and transfer times, as this significantly affects your holiday experience for long-haul travellers.

The marina & destination

Based at Preveza Main Port, in Preveza, Greece. Aurora is operated by Istion Yachting.

Why this is a great starting point

Preveza Main Port sits at the mouth of the Ambracian Gulf, making it an ideal launch point for exploring the Ionian Islands to the west and the protected waters of the gulf itself to the east. Week 1 typically involves sailing north toward Lefkada and Meganisi or south along the mainland coast to Zakynthos, with reliable northwesterly winds (Maestro) providing consistent sailing conditions. The marina offers good provisioning and is close enough to Athens airport for convenient transfers, though expect some swell in the outer Ionian during summer and plan accordingly for the narrow entrance channel.

Frequently asked questions
Can Aurora be rented with or without a skipper?
You can charter Aurora 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 Aurora?
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.
