The charter fee covers the yacht, standard equipment, and insurance. Cleaning, tourist tax, and any optional extras (skipper, paddle board, etc.) are billed at the base — we confirm the full breakdown when you request a quote.
Charter pricing is famously opaque. Here's everything the operator will charge — mandatory items paid at the base, plus optional add-ons you can opt into.
Perfect for groups The Lagoon 42 "Equilibrium" is ideal if you're chartering with friends or family, six cabins sleep up to 10 people, and the catamaran's wide beam means everyone gets genuine living space rather than bunking down uncomfortably. The 2018 build and 5-star operator rating from Istion Yachting tell you this boat is well-maintained and the crew knows what they're doing.
Well-equipped inside out You're getting serious kit here: solar panels plus a generator for reliable power, electric toilets, a proper galley fridge, autopilot for lazy sailing, and snorkeling gear ready to go. The lazy jack and lazy bag make sail handling pleasantly fuss-free, and the sprayhood and bimini keep the sun and spray off during those long passages.
Strong value proposition A zero deposit is refreshingly honest, and for a modern 42-footer with this spec and a top-rated operator, you're looking at fair rates. Istion Yachting's perfect reviews suggest they don't nickel-and-dime you or send you out in a neglected boat.
One note on location We don't have the charter base listed here, so you'll want to confirm where you're flying into, some bases require longer transfers from major airports, which matters when you're traveling long-haul from the US or northern Europe.

Based at D-Marin Marina Gouvia, in Gouvia, Greece. Equilibrium is operated by Istion Yachting.

D-Marin Gouvia sits on Corfu's east coast with easy access to the Ionian Islands; week 1 typically takes you south toward Lefkada and Kefalonia, with consistent northerly winds (Etesians) pushing you downwind through protected anchorages and narrow channels. The marina's sheltered location and full facilities make it ideal for crews adjusting to Greek sailing, and you can reach Paxos, Antipaxos, or the Patrasso approaches within 2-3 days of departure. The relatively short passages and abundance of small island anchorages suit mixed-ability crews, though northerly wind patterns mean most first-week itineraries favour southbound sailing.
