SailChecker Expert View

Perfect for families The Sun Odyssey 440 is a modern cruiser that suits groups of 6, 8 looking for comfortable coastal sailing without the fuss of an older boat. Four cabins and solid built-in amenities make it ideal for families or friends who want space without sacrificing ease of handling.

Smart modern touches Solar panels, autopilot, and a bow thruster take the hard work out of sailing, while the sprayhood and bimini keep you shaded and dry in variable weather. A 2023 build means everything is current, reliable, and unlikely to surprise you mid-charter with wear-and-tear gremlins.

Honest value check The €3,000 deposit is reasonable and typical for this boat class. Without seeing the weekly rate, it's hard to judge value directly, but a 13.4m Sun Odyssey from a reputable Greek operator like Katopodis usually sits in the mid-range, fair for what you're getting if you're chartering in the Ionian or Aegean during peak season.

One practical note No base location is listed here, which matters if you're flying from abroad; confirm your airport transfer time and whether Katopodis offers ground handling at arrival, as some Greek bases are 1, 2 hours from the nearest international hub.

The marina & destination

Based at Port of Lefkas, in Lefkada, Greece. Ecstasea is operated by Katopodis Yachting.

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.

Frequently asked questions
Can Ecstasea be rented with or without a skipper?
You can charter Ecstasea 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 Ecstasea?
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.
