Ideal for families The Oceanis 37 is a well-proven cruising design that suits families and small groups wanting comfortable, easy sailing without a steep learning curve. Three cabins and six berths give you flexibility whether you're chartering with friends or extended family.

Solid comfort package You're getting a genuinely new boat (2024) with thoughtful touches, teak cockpit and deck, electric toilet, bow thruster, and cockpit speakers make life aboard feel more like a floating home than a stripped-down racer. The chart plotter, autopilot, and sprayhood all ease the practical side of cruising.

Strong value proposition ARCHON Yachting carries a perfect 5-star rating on a small sample, which is encouraging; the modest €400 deposit suggests transparent, competitive pricing. For a brand-new Oceanis of this size, the package hits a sweet spot between modern comfort and sensible cost.

One honest note We don't have the base location listed, so we can't advise on flight connections or how convenient this is for transatlantic or long-haul travel, that'll matter for your logistics. Drop us a line if you need help checking charter dates, seasonality, or airport access from your side of the Atlantic.

The marina & destination

Based at Lygia Marina, in Ligia, Greece. Karyatis is operated by ARCHON Yachting.

Why this is a great starting point

Lygia Marina sits on Greece's Ionian coast near Lefkada, offering straightforward access to the Ionian Islands and their sheltered anchorages. Week 1 typically involves sailing south toward Meganisi, Skorpios, and Nidri, with consistent northerly winds providing reliable conditions for the 20 to 40-nautical-mile hops between islands. The shallow, island-dotted waters suit both experienced sailors and those newer to cruising, with good holding in sandy bays and a choice of taverna-backed anchorages.

Can Karyatis be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Karyatis 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 Karyatis?

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.
