Ideal for larger groups. With 5 cabins and 12 berths, Marina IV is purpose-built for extended family trips or friend groups wanting to share costs, you'll find genuine comfort rather than cramped quarters.

Thoughtfully equipped catamaran. The 2021 Lagoon 42 brings modern conveniences that matter: water maker for self-sufficiency, solar panels plus generator for power flexibility, electric winches to reduce physical strain, and a hydraulic gangway for easy boarding with kids or less mobile guests. The sprayhood and bimini keep everyone comfortable in Mediterranean sun.

Outstanding operator backing. Istion Yachting's perfect 5-star rating across 12 reviews speaks volumes, you're chartering with a broker who clearly maintains their fleet well and handles customer relationships professionally, which counts for everything on a long-haul booking.

One practical note: The charter base location isn't specified in your details, so confirm sailing waters and flight connections before committing; some Mediterranean bases require connecting flights that can add 4-6 hours to your journey from the UK or US.

The marina & destination

Based at Skiathos , in Skiathos, Greece. Marina IV is operated by Istion Yachting.

Port by Vessta

Why this is a great starting point

Skiathos marina sits at the north gateway to the Sporades, positioning you within easy reach of the tight island cluster of Skopelos, Alonnisos, and Skyros; week one typically involves 2-4 hour hops between well-sheltered anchorages and small ports with reliable tavernas. The northwest winds that dominate summer months funnel through the islands predictably, making the return journey north straightforward. You'll find the Pelion peninsula mainland coast offers good shelter if weather turns, and provisioning at Skiathos town is straightforward before departure.

Can Marina IV be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Marina IV 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 Marina IV?

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.
