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.
Charter pricing is famously opaque. Here's everything the operator will charge — mandatory items paid at the base, plus optional add-ons you can opt into.
Perfect for groups. The Blue Velvet sleeps 14 across 8 cabins, making it ideal for families, friends, or small corporate events wanting to explore the Ionian together without splitting into multiple boats.
Well-equipped modern cat. This 2020 Lagoon 52 ticks all the boxes, water maker, generator, air conditioning, and autopilot mean real comfort on longer passages, plus the sprayhood and bimini keep the cockpit usable in mixed conditions.
Solid value proposition. At €10,000 per week with a modest €750 deposit, you're paying fair money for a newer, spacious catamaran from a highly-rated operator; the inclusion of essentials like dinghy and refrigeration removes hidden surprises.
Limited review data. With only 2 reviews on file, there's less independent feedback to lean on than you'd ideally want, we'd recommend reaching out directly to Ionian Catamarans and asking for recent client references before committing, especially given the group size and investment.

Based at Port of Lefkas, in Lefkada, Greece. Blue Velvet is operated by Ionian Catamarans.
Port of Lefkas sits at the northern gateway to the Ionian Islands, putting you within day-sailing distance of Meganisi, Kalamos, and the Scorpios group; week one typically involves exploring these sheltered anchorages with consistent northwesterly winds that favour southbound passages. The marina itself offers good provisioning and repair facilities, essential before heading into the more remote southern Ionian. From here you can reach Ithaca and Kefalonia by mid-week, making this an ideal base for first-time visitors to Greek waters seeking a mix of established mooring fields and quieter island passages.
