Catamaran Charter Kefalonia

Per yacht per week before VAT and APA: ARIVA, the Fountaine Pajot Power 67 based in the Ionian, EUR 34,000 to 48,000 from her own rate card; on the Greek Charter Index 2026 a fully crewed sailing catamaran runs EUR 17,000 to 22,000 at 12 to 16 metres, EUR 18,900 to 48,000 at 16 to 19, EUR 31,500 to 43,500 at 20 to 22 and EUR 54,900 to 90,000 at 23 to 24; a power catamaran EUR 21,000 to 28,000 up to 17 metres and EUR 33,000 to 69,000 at 20 to 22. Add APA of 20 to 30% of the base, VAT at 5.2 to 12% by the yacht's certification, and a customary 10 to 15% crew gratuity on the base. A EUR 30,000 base week lands around EUR 38,000 to 43,000 all-in before gratuity.

Yes, and it is the week the southern Ionian is known for: Fiskardo with its all-round shelter, Vathy and the Aetos coves on Ithaca ten miles away, Sami for the caves, Argostoli for the capital, with Zakynthos as the long morning south. Every leg is a morning, every night has a lee, and a catamaran lies in the shallow bays where a keelboat anchors off.

Usually Lefkada, at Nidri, which has fuel and full services, is 25 nautical miles from Fiskardo and is where most Ionian catamarans are based; Kefalonia has an international airport with summer flights and the yacht can position to Argostoli for a Kefalonia start, quoted per yacht on the delivery line. We say which is cheaper for your dates before you book flights.

In two weeks, not one. Corfu to Ithaca is 95 nautical miles on the house table, Paxos to Lefkada 50 and Lefkada to Kefalonia 25, so the whole chain is a fortnight, Corfu to Lefkada one way. A seven-night week stays south of Lefkada: Meganisi, Ithaca, Kefalonia and Zakynthos. Our Ionian two-week page writes the long version.

No. The Meltemi never reaches the Ionian. The summer wind is the north-westerly afternoon sea breeze, which builds after midday and eases overnight, and the enclosed bays take katabatic gusts at night; the passages are done in the morning and the anchorages above all have a lee. That is the whole reason we route families with young children here rather than into the Cyclades.

Six to twelve months for July and August on the Greek Charter Index, three to four for June and September, when the shoulder months price 15 to 25% below peak. The Ionian catamarans are few and the five-cabin ones go first. On this desk, 26 of the 57 dated enquiries received between 30 May and 6 September 2026 were already for 2027.
