Perfect for families This 2017 Sun Odyssey 449 suits groups of four to six looking for comfortable, easy sailing without roughing it. The four cabins and 10-berth capacity make it ideal for a family charter or two couples wanting space to spread out.

Well-equipped cruiser You're getting solid modern kit here, autopilot, bow thruster, and dual chart plotters take the stress out of navigation, while solar panels help keep costs down on longer cruises. The bimini and sprayhood are genuine comfort additions for Mediterranean sailing, and the included dinghy gives you flexibility to explore smaller anchorages around the Ionian Islands.

Strong value proposition At €1,781 per week with a reasonable €3,500 deposit, this boat delivers genuine comfort and safety features at a fair price point for the 2017 build quality and four-cabin layout. The five-star operator rating (albeit from a small sample) is a good sign for support during your charter.

One note on location The charter base information isn't shown in your details, so before booking, confirm airport transfer times from Corfu or other regional hubs, getting from international airports to the Ionian can vary significantly depending which base Ionian Catamarans uses, and that factors into your overall travel day.

The marina & destination

Based at Port of Lefkas, in Lefkada, Greece. Melody 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 Melody be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Melody 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 Melody?

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.
