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.
Solid family cruiser The Oceanis 51.1 is a well-proven design that suits families and small groups looking for comfortable sailing without compromise. With five cabins and sleeping for ten, it's roomy enough that people don't feel cramped during a week-long charter.
Thoughtful touches This 2018 boat comes properly equipped for modern sailing, bow thruster takes stress out of tight anchorages, solar panels help with power management, and the bimini plus sprayhood mean you're protected from sun and spray when you want to be. Air conditioning and autopilot are genuine comfort upgrades on a 51-footer.
Fair value proposition At this size and age with a reasonable deposit (€3300), you're looking at a practical choice that won't break the bank compared to newer or larger boats. The equipment list suggests NorthSailing maintains their fleet reasonably well.
One heads-up The base location isn't listed in your data, so I can't comment on flight connections or transfer times from major European hubs, that matters when you're flying long-haul to pick up a yacht. I'd check directly with NorthSailing on their base location and how that affects your travel logistics.

Based at D-Marin Marina Lefkas, in Lefkada, Greece. Kos 51.2 is operated by NorthSailing.
East Shore
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.
