Built for groups The Lagoon 42 "Dioni" is ideal if you're chartering with extended family or friends, six cabins and eight berths give everyone their own space without cramping. At 12.8 metres, she's spacious enough to feel comfortable even when fully booked, which is hard to find in this size range.

Well-equipped modern cat This 2019 model comes with genuinely useful kit: solar panels and a water maker mean fewer generator runs, while air conditioning, a full galley fridge setup, and an inverter keep everyone happy through Mediterranean heat. The teak deck and cockpit cushions add that touch of comfort that makes a charter feel special rather than utilitarian.

Solid value proposition At €5,750 per week, you're looking at roughly €720 per person for eight people, very reasonable for a modern, well-appointed catamaran with this much cabin space and creature comforts. The €3,500 deposit is standard and reasonable.

One practical note The listing doesn't specify the charter base location, so before booking, confirm exactly where she's based, airport transfer time and flight logistics matter when you're travelling from the US, UK, or mainland Europe. Once you know the base, you can plan connections properly.

The marina & destination

Based at Preveza Marina, in Preveza, Greece. Dioni is operated by Mediterra Yachts.

Port of Preveza

Why this is a great starting point

Preveza Marina sits at the entrance to the Ionian Sea, making it ideal for charters heading north to the Paxi islands and Corfu or south toward the Peloponnese; week 1 typically covers the sheltered waters and small anchorages between Lefkada and the Albanian coast, with consistent northerly winds favoring an initial southbound passage. The marina's position on Greece's western coast offers quick access to some of the Ionian's most protected cruising grounds, including the Echinades islands and Meganisi, all reachable within a few hours under sail.

Can Dioni be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Dioni 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 Dioni?

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.
