Perfect for groups With 5 cabins sleeping up to 10 guests, Dima I is ideal for families or friend groups wanting to share costs on a multi-day charter. The 2017 build means she's modern enough to be comfortable without being brand new.

Smart cruising setup Solar panels, inverter, autopilot, and a bow thruster make this Oceanis 48 genuinely easy to handle, you'll spend less time wrestling the boat and more time enjoying the Ionian islands. The cockpit chart plotter and sprayhood are genuine quality-of-life additions for longer passages.

Fair value proposition At 14.6 metres she's a manageable monohull (not a catamaran, despite the operator name), and the €4000 deposit is reasonable. The comprehensive kit, dinghy included, means fewer surprise extras at checkout.

Small sample size caveat Ionian Catamarans only has 2 reviews on record, both five-star, so there's limited independent feedback to draw from. Before booking, ask the operator directly about their standard maintenance schedule and recent upgrades, you want confidence in a boat with this many cabins and guests depending on reliable systems.

The marina & destination

Based at Port of Lefkas, in Lefkada, Greece. Dima I is operated by Ionian Catamarans.

Why this is a great starting point

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.

Can Dima I be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Dima I 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 Dima I?

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.
