Notes from George
- Book Lefkada-departure charters 4-9 months ahead for peak summer. Boarding directly from Lefkada Marina saves Athens positioning leg.
- 7 Days charters work best with a clear priority list — what 2-3 things matter most. The captain optimises around them.
- Crew gratuity convention 10-18% of base rate paid in cash at end. Same convention regardless of charter duration.
- Multi-week charters often qualify for owner discounts on the second week.
- Ask the captain at day-one briefing about the itinerary's flexibility — Greek weather changes; the route adapts.
Frequently asked
About 7 days yacht charter lefkada
How much does a 7 days yacht charter from Lefkada cost?
Base rates scale by yacht size. For 7 days the typical range starts around €25K (smaller yachts) and runs to €140K+ (30+ metre yachts), plus APA (25-30%) and Greek VAT (12-24%).
Why 7 days instead of the standard week?
The 7-day format is the standard Greek charter duration and most yachts are priced around it. Gives real island variety without becoming an extended trip.
Can we customize the itinerary?
Yes. The sample itinerary above is one common pattern. The captain plans the actual route based on weather, your preferences, and any specific destinations you want included. Brief us at booking.
What if the weather changes?
Captains plan with weather flexibility. Multi-day charters typically have 1-2 weather-buffer days built into the route. The boat stays in protected anchorages if conditions require.
Should we board Lefkada directly or repositioning yacht from Athens?
For shorter charters, direct boarding from Lefkada Marina saves a full day vs Athens positioning. We typically reposition yachts for free during peak summer if you want a specific yacht that bases elsewhere.
