A/C, Generator, Watermaker

Perfect for groups The Lagoon 42 is an excellent choice if you're bringing friends or extended family, with 6 cabins and 12 berths, everyone gets their own space without cramping. At this size, it's also forgiving for mixed ability sailors, thanks to the catamaran's stability and spacious deck layout.

Smart onboard systems You're getting genuinely useful kit here: solar panels and a water maker mean fewer marina stops, while air conditioning and electric toilets add real comfort on longer passages. The chart plotter, sprayhood, and generator cover the essentials for both navigation and cruising convenience.

Solid value proposition At €3,500 per week with a reasonable €3,000 deposit, this boat offers genuine comfort-per-euro, especially split among 6+ people. JF Yachts' strong 4.8/5 rating (9 reviews) suggests reliable maintenance and honest dealings, which matters when you're chartering internationally.

One practical note Make sure the base location works with your flight plans, a Lagoon 42 is substantial enough that you'll want at least a full week to justify the long-haul journey. Ask JF Yachts directly about ground transfers and whether they offer a pre-charter briefing; a boat this size deserves a proper handover.

The marina & destination

Based at D-Marin Marina Lefkas, in Lefkada, Greece. Tethys is operated by JF Yachts .

East Shore

Why this is a great starting point

D-Marin Lefkas sits on the west coast of Lefkada, positioning you perfectly for week one exploration of the Ionian Islands; you can reach Meganisi, Scorpios, and Nidri across the channel within an hour, then push south toward Kefalonia and Ithaka. The protected waters and light northerly winds typical in summer make this an ideal launch point for less experienced sailors, while stronger crews can venture further south toward Zakynthos or explore the intricate anchorages around Paxi to the north. The marina itself offers good facilities and a reliable base for provisioning before heading into the Ionian's quieter anchorages and fjord-like inlets.

Can Tethys be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Tethys 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 Tethys?

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.
