Solid family cruiser. The Oceanis 45 is a proven monohull design that handles well in moderate conditions and offers comfortable overnight accommodation for families or small groups of up to 10 people across four cabins. It's a genuine workhorse that's been popular on charter fleets for over a decade.

Smart practical features. Solar panels and a bow thruster are genuinely useful additions that make handling easier in tight anchorages, especially valuable if your group isn't heavily experienced. The autopilot and dual chart plotters mean navigation is straightforward, and you get a dinghy included, which matters when anchoring off quieter islands.

Excellent value proposition. At €1,875 per week with a modest €3,500 deposit, this is competitive pricing for a four-cabin monohull in the Ionian. You're looking at roughly €188, €375 per person per week depending on group size, which is genuinely reasonable for a bareboat charter in the Greek islands.

One practical note: The operator has only two reviews, so the 5/5 rating, while positive, is based on limited feedback. Before booking, ask directly about their check-in procedures, support availability during your week, and any recent maintenance history, especially relevant since the yacht is now 13 years old.

The marina & destination

Based at Marina Paleros, in Palairos, Greece. Zeppelin is operated by Ionian Catamarans.

Why this is a great starting point

Marina Paleros sits on the west coast of Greece, offering straightforward access to the Ionian islands and the sheltered waters of the Patras Gulf. From here, week 1 typically involves cruising north to Lefkas and its satellite islands, or south towards Zakynthos, with consistent northerly winds (the Etesian) providing reliable sailing conditions. The shallow-draft approach and calm anchorages make it well-suited for bareboat charters, particularly those new to Greek waters.

Can Zeppelin be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Zeppelin 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 Zeppelin?

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.
