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.
Great family cruiser. The Oceanis 45 is a proven design that handles beautifully in a range of conditions, making it ideal for mixed experience levels, whether you're confident sailors or newer to the sport. Four cabins sleeping ten mean you can bring extended family or friends without compromise, and the boat feels spacious for its length.
Comfort-focused features. Solar panels, a bow thruster, and electric toilet signal thoughtful cruising, you'll appreciate the thruster in tight anchorages, and the solar setup reduces generator time. The sprayhood and bimini keep the cockpit liveable, while snorkeling gear is included if you're exploring Greek islands or similar warm-water bases.
Solid value proposition. At €3,315 per week with zero deposit, the pricing is competitive for a four-cabin boat in this size range, and Istion Yachting's perfect 5-star rating across a dozen reviews suggests reliable maintenance and service. You're getting modern conveniences without premium pricing.
One practical note. The 2014 build means avionics may feel dated compared to newer rivals, though the chart plotter and autopilot do the job. Before booking, confirm your charter base location with Istion, it wasn't listed here, as airport transfer times and connecting flights from Europe or the US will depend on where you'll board.

Marina Kos sits in the eastern Dodecanese and offers immediate access to a compact, well-protected cruising ground; you can reach Nisyros, Tilos, and Symi within day sails, with reliable northwesterly winds in summer making the return leg straightforward. The nearby Turkish coast at Marmaris lies just 40nm south, adding variety for sailors wanting to mix Greek and Turkish anchorages. First-week routes typically loop through the inner Dodecanese islands, giving you sheltered bays and short passages ideal for shake-down sailing before committing to longer distances.
