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.
Perfect starter choice The Sun Odyssey 36 is ideal for small groups or families new to bareboat sailing who want a forgiving, well-equipped boat without breaking the bank. At 10.7m with three cabins, it offers genuine sleeping space for up to seven people, though comfort improves with fewer guests.
Standout practical features Solar panels, autopilot, and a full sprayhood make this boat genuinely livable for a week's cruise, you won't feel like you're roughing it. The dinghy and snorkeling kit mean you can explore shallow anchorages and reefs without extra rental costs, which adds real value to a holiday.
Excellent value proposition At €1,583 per week with a modest €1,500 deposit, this 2007 Jeanneau is competitively priced for Mediterranean sailing. You're getting a proven, mid-sized design that's stable enough for less experienced crews and inexpensive to charter.
One honest note A 17-year-old boat means you'll want to confirm the current condition of systems like the refrigerator and chart plotter during your pre-charter inspection, age alone isn't a dealbreaker, but older boats occasionally surprise you. Ask Main Sailing directly about any recent upgrades or service work before committing.

Based at Nikiana Marina, in Lefkada, Greece. Kos 36 is operated by Main Sailing.
Nikiana Marina sits on Lefkada's east coast, offering straightforward access to the Ionian islands' protected waters and steady northwesterly winds typical of summer conditions. Week 1 charters naturally progress south through Meganisi and Kalamos, or north toward Skorpios and Ithaca, with all anchorages lying within 15-25 nautical miles; the shallow, predictable conditions suit both experienced sailors and those returning to the water. The surrounding Ionian offers relatively short passages between islands, making it ideal for crews wanting to establish their rhythm without long overnight crossings.
