Perfect for groups This 2018 Lagoon 42 is built for larger parties, six cabins sleeping up to 12 make it ideal for families or friends wanting to share costs and the sailing experience together. The catamaran hull also means excellent stability and living space, which groups typically appreciate over monohulls.

Well-equipped vessel You're getting serious cruising kit here: water maker, solar panels, generator, air conditioning, and an electric toilet mean genuine comfort and independence on longer passages. The autopilot and modern electronics take the pressure off, especially useful if your group has mixed sailing skills.

Solid value proposition At €7,000 per week for 12 berths, you're looking at roughly €583 per person, genuinely competitive for a newer catamaran with this spec and cabin count. DEDA's perfect 5-star rating across reviews suggests reliable service and well-maintained kit, which matters when you're chartering sight-unseen from abroad.

One practical note The base location isn't specified in the listing, so you'll need to confirm the charter location and nearest international airport before booking, critical for arranging flights and transfers if you're flying long-haul from the US or UK. Once you know the base, check typical flight connections and ground transfer times to make sure it fits your travel plans.

The marina & destination

Based at Port of Volos, in Volos, Greece. Orion IX is operated by DEDA Sailing - Sailing Holidays Hub.

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 Orion IX be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Orion IX 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 Orion IX?

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.
