The charter fee covers the yacht, standard equipment, and insurance. Cleaning, tourist tax, and any optional extras (skipper, paddle board, etc.) are billed at the base — we confirm the full breakdown when you request a quote.
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 for groups This 2020 Sun Odyssey 490 sleeps up to 11 across four cabins, making it ideal for families or friend groups wanting to share costs on a proper sailing holiday. The boat feels modern and well-maintained, and at 14.2 metres, it's spacious without being unwieldy for mixed-ability crews.
Seriously well-equipped You're getting solar panels, a generator, bow thruster, autopilot, and even snorkeling gear, this isn't a bare-bones charter. The lazy jack and lazy bag mean easier sail handling, while the bimini and sprayhood keep you comfortable in Mediterranean heat. Istion Yachting's perfect 5-star rating across 12 reviews speaks volumes about their service standards.
Excellent value proposition Zero deposit required removes friction for international bookings, and you're getting modern navigation, comfort features, and safety kit that justify the price. For a 2020 boat with this spec, competing quotes elsewhere won't offer much better bang for buck.
One gentle note The base location isn't listed in your specs, so check whether it's a major international hub, Istion operates across Greece, Turkey, and Croatia. If it's a smaller base, factor in extra transfer time from your nearest airport; some locations add 2, 3 hours to your journey.

Based at D-Marin Marina Lefkas, in Lefkada, Greece. Capt. Jack Sparrow is operated by Istion Yachting.
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.
