Rustic Luxury Day Boat Charter in the Ionian
Are you searching for “day boat charter Greece” or “boat rental Lefkada”? I discovered this exceptional custom-built wooden trawler while researching the best charter options in the Mediterranean. Situated in Perigiali Port, Lefkada, this boat stands out among generic day boats and mass-produced yachts. It’s hand-crafted with soul, offering a genuine Greek fishing vessel aesthetic combined with the comfort of modern charter services.
The moment I spotted her anchored in the mesmerizing Ionian Sea—with kayaks bobbing at the stern, paddleboards strapped to the side, and a sun-shaded aft deck ready for relaxed lunches—I knew this day boat charter in Lefkada was something special worth recommending.
This isn’t a luxury explorer yacht or a steel ocean trawler…
If your idea of a perfect charter in Greece means slowing down, anchoring in secluded coves, and unplugging for the day, then this Lefkada, Greece boat charter delivers. With a bright blue hull, proud bow, timber superstructure, and vintage smoke stack, she looks like a postcard-worthy working caique. The deck is spacious and shaded, offering plenty of room to stretch out under canvas awnings—ideal for soaking in the Ionian sunshine.
Below deck, the atmosphere is all warm timber and modest charm. The saloon features a communal table, low timber-beamed ceiling, and practical shelving—all giving that cosy floating cabin feel. With two cabins, six berths, and a shared bathroom, this boat charter in Lefkada works well for small overnight groups or families. Luxury finishes aren’t the focus here—charm and character are.
Operating from Perigiali Port, Lefkada, this day boat charter runs from 10:00 to 18:00.

For an 8-hour private cruise in the Ionian, this charter offers incredible value. Celebrating a birthday, engagement, or special event? The crew will help customise your experience.
This boat charter in Lefkada is excellent value. You’re not just renting a boat—you’re boarding a handcrafted piece of maritime heritage. Combine that with a full-day cruise, crew, fuel, refreshments, and water toys, and you have a complete experience—far beyond a typical day-boat rental.
Your Lefkada boat charter includes two stunning day routes, both beginning with a visit to Scorpios, once Aristotle Onassis’s private island and now open to limited tourism. Expect lush hillsides, white-rock beaches, and crystalline bays. After Scorpios, choose:
Meganissi enchants with quiet harbours, olive groves, and winding lanes. Palairos on the mainland offers pine-fringed secluded beaches, often deserted even in summer. And Kalamos feels uninhabited—green, rugged hillsides drop into turquoise waters perfect for swimming. On both routes, you’ll anchor where cars can’t reach: no beach bars, no crowds—just peaceful Ionian beauty.
If you appreciate boats with history and soul, this wooden trawler is a rare gem. It captures attention in any bay and encourages quiet swims, shared meals, and soulful relaxation. You’ll leave with beautiful photos, lasting memories, and a profound sense of peace only found on a day well spent at sea.
