Perfect for small groups The Galaxy is an ideal choice for families or groups of 3–4 people wanting genuine sailing comfort without breaking the bank. The three-cabin layout sleeps up to seven, though you'll be cosy—it's honest cruising, not luxury.

Smart cruising features Solar panels and an inverter mean you can run essentials guilt-free; the chart plotter takes the navigation stress out, and the sprayhood keeps you dry in the Greek islands' variable weather. Heating is a thoughtful touch for shoulder-season charters when mornings can be brisk.

Genuinely good value At €1,980 per week with just a €2,000 deposit, this 2010 Oceanis 40 undercuts many competitors in the Ionian base. You're getting a proven, seaworthy design that's maintained well enough to earn Ionian Yachts their solid reputation.

Small caveat worth noting The operator has only one review on record, so while their 5-star rating looks perfect, it's a limited sample. Before committing, ask Ionian Yachts directly about their turnover, maintenance records, and recent client feedback—especially if you're flying long-haul from the US or northern Europe to reach Greece.

The marina & destination

Based at Port of Lefkas, in Lefkada, Greece. Galaxy is operated by Ionian Yachts.

Can Galaxy be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Galaxy 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 Galaxy?

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.
