18m Canados 58 Motor Yacht Charter Lefkada | 1994 | AR1703

A motor yacht charter Lefkada from Nydri starts in the Ionian rather than the Aegean, on a sheltered stretch of water where the meltemi never reaches and the islands are half an hour apart. This 17-metre Canados takes six guests in three double cabins, with a skipper included and an interior rebuilt in 2023.

Twin 820-horsepower diesels, a flybridge helm and a bow thruster make her quick between anchorages and easy on the town quays at Fiskardo and Kioni. For a motor yacht charter Lefkada that treats Ithaca and Kefalonia as day trips, the numbers work.

Eighteen metres, refitted in 2023

She measures 17.6 metres overall, 58 feet, with a beam of 5.1 metres and a draught of 1.8 metres. Teak is laid on the aft deck and flybridge, the electronics run to radar, autopilot, bow thruster and inside and outside GPS plotters, and tankage holds 3,500 litres of fuel and 1,000 litres of fresh water backed by a water maker.

A crewed motor yacht charter Lefkada

A skipper is included in the rate, along with the transit log, deposit insurance, the dinghy outboard and onboard WiFi. On a motor yacht charter Lefkada the galley matters more than the top speed, and hers carries an oven, cooker, microwave, freezer, coffee machine, a full fridge and a washing machine.

A week on a motor yacht charter Lefkada usually runs south to Meganisi and the caves at Papanikolis, on to Ithaca for Kioni and Vathy, then across to Fiskardo on Kefalonia and the beach at Myrtos. Longer routes reach Zakynthos and the wreck bay on its west coast.

The tables worth the detour on this coast are on the water. The tavernas of Spartochori, Atokos and Vathy on Meganisi are reached by tender rather than by road, and the skipper times the run so dinner is a step from the passerelle.

Saloon, galley and living space

The saloon is panelled in warm cherry with a curved settee, a low table, a flat-screen television and air conditioning throughout. On a motor yacht charter Lefkada this is where the afternoon settles, with the side windows open and the Ionian sliding past.

Aft, the deck carries a dining table under a bimini, level with the saloon doors so the two spaces read as one. A generator and inverter hold air conditioning overnight at anchor without the main engines running, and the yacht carries heating for shoulder-season weeks.

Three cabins

Three double cabins sleep six, each with its own heads and shower. Cherry joinery, hull windows or portlights, concealed lighting and stowage under the berth are standard, and every cabin on this motor yacht charter Lefkada has individual air conditioning.

On deck and in the water

The flybridge carries a second helm, seating and a sun pad under a bimini, with a further pad forward and a bathing platform aft. A motor yacht charter Lefkada here includes a dinghy with a free outboard, an audio system with inside and outside speakers, sun pads and a freshwater deck shower for coming back aboard.
