About LILA

Lila is a beautifully maintained 32ft Bavaria Cruiser, perfectly suited to couples, small families, or groups of friends looking to explore the stunning Ionian Islands in comfort and style. Compact, easy to handle, and exceptionally capable, she offers the ideal combination of relaxed cruising and dependable sailing performance. Designed for effortless sailing, all sail controls are led aft to the cockpit, allowing for simple and confident handling. Combined with the generally calm and predictable sailing conditions of the Mediterranean, Lila is an excellent choice for both experienced sailors and those looking for a relaxed cruising holiday. Lila has been carefully maintained and upgraded to ensure a reliable and enjoyable experience on the water. At the end of the 2025 season, she was fitted with a brand-new 27-horsepower engine, providing smooth, efficient performance, improved fuel economy, and dependable reliability for seasons to come. Her spacious cockpit is designed for comfort and practicality, featuring a folding steering wheel that maximises space when at anchor, a protective bimini for welcome shade, an electric windlass for effortless anchoring, comfortable cockpit cushions, a folding cockpit table for alfresco dining, a swim ladder, and a deck shower—everything you need to enjoy long, relaxing days on the water. Below deck, Lila offers a bright and surprisingly spacious interior. Two comfortable double cabins, together with a welcoming saloon, provide accommodation for up to six guests, with the saloon berths best suited to children or younger guests. The practical layout creates a warm and inviting atmosphere, making life on board both comfortable and enjoyable. The well-equipped galley includes a gas cooker, oven, refrigerator, and ample storage, providing everything required to prepare meals on board, whether enjoying breakfast in a peaceful bay or dining beneath the stars. Combining Bavaria's renowned build quality with modern upgrades, comfortable accommodation, and easy handling, Lila is the perfect yacht for discovering the crystal-clear waters, secluded anchorages, and charming harbours of the Ionian. Whether you're enjoying leisurely days under sail or relaxing evenings at anchor, she offers everything needed for a memorable and carefree sailing holiday. The boat is based in Vliho Bay, offering direct access to the Southern Ionian Islands. The base includes a pontoon, restaurant, hot showers, Wi-Fi, and a friendly team ready to assist with everything from transfers to route planning. The yacht charter price includes- • First and last night pontoon fees on our Vliho Yacht Club pontoon. • Dinghy and outboard (including outboard fuel). • Full fuel and water tanks. • Bed linen and towels (beach towels not included). • Starter pack which includes tea, coffee, sugar, salt & pepper, water, cleaning products, bin bags, tea towels and toilet roll. • Masks and snorkles. • Final cleaning of the yacht. • Route planning. • Maps & pilot book (including Rod Heikle) • 24/7 support. The only extras you pay for are- • Yacht diesel used during the charter. We arrange for the fuel to be delivered directly to the boat at our pontoon on your return. The diesel tank must be refilled and payment is made directly to the diesel truck driver. Check in is 16.00 pm, we always try to have the boat ready earlier if you are arriving before 16.00 pm but we cannot guarantee this. Check out is 10.00 am, we ask that you arrive back at our pontoon before 5.00 pm the day before or between 8.30 am and 9.00 am on the day. The skipper of the boat must hold a current qualification/certification from their country that allows them to charter a boat of the same type and size. The Port Police require the skipper to sign a declaration confirming the above. An ICC is required for skippers from the UK. Please note: If you are booking a bareboat charter (without one of our skippers) we require a 2500 Euros refundable security deposit. As part of check-in, we ask that you complete and sign a credit card security form. This would only be retained in the unlikely event of major damage to the boat. We do however understand that things can happen at sea, and you may lose a fender or a towel overboard etc, but these are just charged at cost price on your return. We also offer additional services to ensure you have the best holiday! • WIFI Hub • Stand up paddle board • Provisioning • Additional bed linen and towels
