Bareboat Yacht & Catamaran Charters from Lefkas
If you have had the helm before, you can simply charter your ideal yacht or catamaran and sail with your crew among the enchanting islands of the Ionian Sea!
If you are interested in sailing in Greece and you wish to acquire additional information, one of the Ionion Sails agents will be happy to fill you in!
After you choose your preferences (yacht type, length, accommodation options, location & dates) we will, in turn, send you our very best offers!
This will include details about boat availability, the deposit and total cost, the technical characteristics and inventory of each yacht and a complete set of photos of each boat that we are suggesting for you!
If our offer suits your needs we can hold an option on the sailing boat you prefer for five days until you make a decision, without any constraints whatsoever!
The final booking of the yacht takes place when you send us the pre-agreed advance deposit.
After you have sent us the receipt of the bank transfer and the personal and crew details that we require, you will receive an official contract – charter party within 5 days which is already approved by the Hellenic Ministry of Merchant Marine.
For any extra costs that may occur or may be required by you in exchange for extra or optional yacht chartering services, you will be informed in our offer, and they will also be stated in the contact – charter party.
No other extra charges will arise during your charter.
Bareboat yacht chartering in Greece requires two experienced crew members. The first one (the skipper) should have an appropriate sailing certificate or hold an official offshore sailing license.
The second one (the co-skipper) should have some sailing experience. Official declarations stating the skipper’s competence and the co-skipper’s experience may be also required if the harbour authority considers this necessary.
If you don’t have enough sailing qualifications you can ask us to provide you with one of Ionion Sails experienced skippers.
From our first email offer, you will be informed about the security deposit required before your embarkation and during the check-in of your yacht. The amount varies according to the size and type of the yacht. The deposit ensures that you are responsible only for that amount of money for any loss or damage that may occur during your charter.
Every yacht is insured against any damage that exceeds the deposit amount.
We now offer two ways to get through your security deposit :
OPTION A : Independent Deposit Insurance
You have the option to secure full coverage for your security deposit by purchasing insurance from an independent insurance company. The insurance must be completed before your arrival. You can insure your deposit through Yachtpool, Hamburg or any other insurance company. The refundable amount based on yacht’s specification is normally withheld on spot.
OPTION B: Damage Waiver (On-Arrival Option)
If you arrive without independent insurance, the only available option is to purchase a Damage Waiver through YachtPool, which includes
- A non-refundable fee (calculated based on the yacht’s specifications)
- A refundable deposit that is held in case of damage. You retain the option to insure the refundable portion on the spot.
If all the terms of the Charter Party are met, your refundable deposit will be returned to you immediately after the end of your charter.
We accept VISA, MasterCard & Diners. Personal checks AMEX and Debit cards cannot be accepted.
