Catamaran to Kefalonia
Catamaran Charter Kefalonia
The family-friendly version of the Fiscardo + Assos + Ithaca week. Stable cruising, shallow anchorages, full Ionian classic.
Why a catamaran handles the Kefalonia brief
Best suited for
- Two-couple charters wanting the classic Ionian route comfortably
- Families with children aged 4-12 (catamaran + shallow anchorages = no complaints)
- Multi-generational groups bridging anxious-grandparent + active-kid
- Ionian first-timers wanting the photogenic destinations
- Repeat Mediterranean charterers trying catamaran format for the first time
When to book
June and September are the family-perfect Kefalonia catamaran weeks. July and August book 9 months ahead — Fiscardo's catamaran moorings are the most-fought-over slots in the Ionian. May and October work for shoulder weeks; water cools but the family format still suits.
George's insider notes
- Reserve Fiscardo Mediterranean-mooring 48h ahead via the harbourmaster, or plan to anchor in Foki Bay and tender in.
- Myrtos Beach lunch anchorage: drop in 200m offshore (no holding inshore). Swim/tender to the beach by 11:00 before the day-tripper buses arrive.
- Assos has one catamaran-suitable slot at the quay. If full, anchor in the small bay outside the Venetian fortress.
- Ithaca's Frikes (north) over Vathy (south) for the catamaran family format. Smaller, less motor-yacht congestion, walk into the village dog scene.
- Robola white wine and Mavrodaphne dessert wine — both Kefalonian. Stock both at Argostoli before boarding.
