Perfect for groups The Oceanis 51.1 is genuinely impressive for larger parties, six cabins sleeping twelve means families or friend groups can charter together without splitting boats. At 15.9 metres, she's spacious enough to feel comfortable rather than cramped, even with a full complement of guests.

Smart modern kit Brando comes well-equipped for serious sailing: autopilot, bow thruster, and solar panels with an inverter mean you're not burning fuel or generator hours constantly. The swimming platform, bimini, and air-con make hot-weather cruising genuinely pleasant, not just tolerable.

Solid value proposition At €3,540 per week, you're looking at roughly €295 per person for a fully-crewed-capable vessel that handles double-digit berths. That's decent value if your group is actually full; empty cabins obviously shift the maths.

One honest note The operator has only two reviews, both five-star, which is promising but thin data, not a red flag, just worth confirming recent guest feedback directly before committing. Also, we don't have the base location listed here, so check where MG Yachts operates and factor in your international travel time from the nearest major airport.

The marina & destination

Based at D-Marin Marina Lefkas, in Lefkada, Greece. Brando is operated by MG Yachts.

East Shore

Why this is a great starting point

D-Marin Lefkas sits on the west coast of Lefkada, positioning you perfectly for week one exploration of the Ionian Islands; you can reach Meganisi, Scorpios, and Nidri across the channel within an hour, then push south toward Kefalonia and Ithaka. The protected waters and light northerly winds typical in summer make this an ideal launch point for less experienced sailors, while stronger crews can venture further south toward Zakynthos or explore the intricate anchorages around Paxi to the north. The marina itself offers good facilities and a reliable base for provisioning before heading into the Ionian's quieter anchorages and fjord-like inlets.

Can Brando be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Brando 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 Brando?

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.
