Perfect for groups Effie Star is an excellent choice if you're chartering with family or friends, four cabins sleep up to 10, so you can spread out comfortably without feeling cramped. At 15.6 metres, this 2024 Lagoon catamaran offers the space and stability that makes multi-generational trips genuinely relaxing.

Modern comfort included You get the essentials that matter on longer charters: air conditioning, a water maker (crucial for extended cruising), Wi-Fi, and a generator for backup power. The snorkelling kit and SUP gear are bonuses, and that barbecue grill in the cockpit is perfect for evening entertaining without heating up the galley.

Solid value proposition At roughly €19,000 per week, you're paying a fair rate for a brand-new catamaran with four cabins and no deposit required, that's genuinely customer-friendly. The all-in equipment list means fewer surprise rentals or upgrades down the line.

One practical note You'll want to confirm the exact charter base location with Istion, as it's not listed here, important for calculating airport transfers and flight connections from the UK or US. Once you know where she's based, check sailing distances to your target islands; catamarans are efficient, but knowing your range helps with itinerary planning.

The marina & destination

Based at Alimos Marina, in Athens, Greece. Effie Star is operated by Istion Luxury Yachts.

Poseidonos Avenue

Why this is a great starting point

Alimos Marina sits just south of Athens, offering straightforward access to the Saronic Gulf's island-hopping routes; week one typically involves sailing to nearby Aegina, Poros, and Hydra, with predictable northerly winds in summer making these 15-30 nautical mile passages reliable for mixed-ability crews. The protected anchorages and short hops suit charter clients recovering from long-haul flights, while the marina's proximity to Athens airport (30 minutes by car) minimizes transfer time. Alimos itself has full facilities and is a logical base for exploring the sheltered Saronic islands before pushing further south toward the Peloponnese if conditions allow.

Can Effie Star be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Effie Star 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 Effie Star?

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.
