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.
Photos supplied by the operator. Specifications are SailChecker-Verified , but images may show a sister yacht or stock photography — especially on yachts under two years old. Confirm the actual boat with us at quote time.

Ideal for groups This Lagoon 50 catamaran is purpose-built for larger parties or flotilla charters, eight cabins and 12 berths mean you can spread out comfortably with family or friends without feeling cramped. The 2021 build year is a real plus; you're getting modern systems and reliable equipment.
Well-equipped and thoughtful The spec sheet reads like a wish list: water maker, solar panels, air conditioning, electric toilets, and a hydraulic gangway make life genuinely easier on extended trips. Creature comforts like the coffee maker, cockpit speakers, and generous cushioned seating suggest the owner understands what makes charter holidays actually enjoyable rather than just functional.
Solid value proposition At €10,800 per week for a boat this size and specification, you're looking at roughly €900 per berth for a week, excellent if you're splitting costs across a full crew. The operator's 5/5 rating on ARCHON Yachting's platform and the modest €600 deposit add confidence to the booking.
Missing one detail We can't see which sailing region or base this yacht operates from, so we can't advise on flight connections or transfer times from major European or US hubs. Once you identify the location, confirm how easily you can reach the departure point, that often matters more than the yacht specs for international guests.

Based at D-Marin Marina Lefkas, in Lefkada, Greece. Rio is operated by ARCHON Yachting.
East Shore
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.
Sea above 20°C is comfortable swimming · above 22°C is full-summer · below 18°C feels brisk.
We'll check live availability, apply any discounts, and come back within hours.
