Catamaran charter in Municipal Unit of Lefkada, Greece · Fountaine Pajot Isla 40 Lfk-Isla 40 · (2021)

Q: Is this boat insured, and who pays for damage?

Yes — every boat on charter.boats is insured by its operator; we require it. The policy covers the vessel for fire, collision and third-party liability. You're only responsible for damage it doesn't cover, and that's capped at the security deposit.

Q: How much will fuel cost?

Fuel isn't included — you return the tank full. This boat's ~40 HP engines burn roughly 3.2 L/h while motoring, so a typical week (about 3 h a day, ~21 h) works out to roughly 67 L ≈ €131 at €1.95/L — scale it to your own plans. Many skippers run one engine on passage to roughly halve fuel use — ask your operator if that’s fine for your boat.

Q: Do I need a sailing licence in Greece?

Two crew with proof of competence are required — a skipper holding an ICC or national equivalent and a co-skipper who signs a declaration of sailing experience.

Q: When is the best time to sail in Greece?

April–October, hot and dry with the strong northerly Meltemi wind peaking in July–August, especially across the Cyclades.
