About this yacht AQUILA
We are proud to introduce the Cavo Yachting Sports Line – created by true sailors for true sailors! Coming from a deeply rooted sailing background, we understand the thrill of hoisting the sails and feeling the raw power of the wind – while still appreciating the comfort of luxury cruising.
Our brand-new performance catamaran line by EXCESS Catamarans, combines both worlds: speed and style, thrill and comfort. We are pioneers in the charter industry, offering catamarans equipped with true sailing gear rather than just cruising features. Each yacht includes twin aft helm stations, Code 0 gear with furler and extended composite bowsprit, electric winches, black lacquered aluminum mast, upgraded 12" displays, and 3-blade folding propellers for top-level performance.
Enjoy speed, excitement, and precision sailing – while relaxing in full comfort thanks to features like generator, air conditioning, watermaker, icemaker, teak decks, and a luxury center-console dinghy with 20HP engine. Experience the Ionian Islands with style, anchor close to shore, and live the best of both worlds: the thrill of real sailing and the comfort of luxury living at sea.
BASE
Our yachts are based in Sivota Bay, nestled in the southern region of Lefkada Island. Positioned centrally in the Ionian Sea, Lefkada serves as an ideal launching point for your exploration. From here, you can effortlessly sail either south or north, adjusting your course according to wind and weather patterns.
Sivota Bay itself is a charming and picturesque locale in the southern part of the island, offering a unique opportunity to start and end your sailing adventure in one of Greece's most idyllic setting.
Situated approximately 15 nautical miles south of Marina Lefkas, you'll enjoy the advantage of sailing ahead of the majority of other charterers. This allows you to discover typically more crowded destinations, such as the enchanting
village of Fiscardo on Kefalonia, as early as Saturday evening. Moreover, by returning to our base in a serene bay on Friday night instead of a bustling marina, you'll gain an extra day to savor the delights of being onboard and exploring the surrounding beauty.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a sailing license?
Yes, a valid sailing license (ICC or equivalent) is required for bareboat charters in Greek waters. If you don’t have a license, no worries – simply book one of our professional skippers who knows the Ionian Sea like the back of their hand.
What is the security deposit and how does it work?
A refundable security deposit is collected at check-in (amount varies per yacht). It covers potential damages during your charter. After a successful check-out inspection, the full deposit is returned. You can also opt for damage waiver insurance to reduce your liability.
How does the booking process work?
It’s simple: choose your yacht and dates, then request a quote or book directly. A 50% deposit secures your reservation. The remaining balance is due 30 days before your charter start date. You’ll receive a booking confirmation with all the details you need.
