When can I get in touch with the captain/skipper?
The timing depends on your charter type. For crewed charters, we can provide the captain's contact details upon request. For bareboat charters with a hired skipper, you can request the contact information 1-3 weeks before departure.
What is the Charter Fee?
The Charter Fee is an additional, obligatory cost, which typically includes the end cleaning of the boat, home port fees, and linen & towels. The details of the charter fee differ depending on the boat, location and charter partner.
Are there any other costs I should be aware of?
There are marina fees and fuel costs which vary depending on the type, duration and location of your sailing holiday. Marina fees need to be paid at each marina you choose to dock overnight - the amount varies but you may be able to find this information in advance by contacting the marinas directly. Fuel costs depend on whether you’re sailing a motorboat or a sailboat. You can estimate fuel costs by double-checking your chosen boat’s engine, and the expected distance you aim to sail.

Why Rent a Catamaran Around Lefkada?

The "Inland Sea" Comfort: To the east and south of Lefkada lies the Inland Sea, a highly protected expanse of water shielded by the Greek mainland. Because there are no ocean swells, the twin hulls of a catamaran remain perfectly flat. This guarantees absolute comfort for cooking, dining, and sleeping, making it ideal for guests prone to seasickness.

  • Anchoring in the Pines: The eastern coast of Lefkada and nearby islands like Meganisi and Kalamos are deeply indented with lush fjords. A catamaran’s shallow draft allows you to tuck deep into these protected, shallow bays and drop anchor just feet from traditional waterfront restaurants.
  • The West Coast Spectacle: Sailing your catamaran down the west coast reveals world-famous beaches like Porto Katsiki. You can anchor in the brilliant turquoise water and lounge on your massive front sun pads while enjoying the dramatic scenery.
Captain's Insider Tip: East vs. West Coast "While the West Coast of Lefkada is visually stunning, it is completely exposed to the open sea and has no safe overnight dockage for a wide catamaran. Plan to sail the west coast during the day for swimming, but always navigate back to the East Coast (Sivota, Nidri) or head south to Kefalonia before sunset for a calm, protected night on anchor!"
