Anchored in the Ionian, Nicolas is a 2024 Excess 14 catamaran offering an expansive platform for exploring Greece's most coveted sailing waters. Departing from the Port of Lefkas, this 13.97-metre catamaran comfortably accommodates twelve guests across six thoughtfully appointed cabins, making it an ideal choice for multi-family escapes or close-knit groups seeking a week of unhurried discovery. The twin hulls deliver the stability and space that define modern catamaran cruising, while the dual 57 hp engines ensure effortless manoeuvring through narrow channels and swift transitions between anchorages.

Life aboard Nicolas balances comfort with authentic seamanship. The climate-controlled cabins and five ensuite facilities mean everyone enjoys genuine privacy, while the generous cockpit—shaded by a bimini and protected by a sprayhood—becomes the natural gathering place as the day unfolds. The well-equipped galley keeps provisioning straightforward, and the onboard desalinator and solar panels support extended stays in remote anchorages without compromise. Entertainment flows naturally: a radio-CD system accompanies sunset aperitivos, while the hydraulic passerelle simplifies water access for swimming and tender exploration.

Your week typically unfolds between Lefkas and the scattered islands of the Ionian—Meganisi, Kalamos, and Kastos reveal themselves as quiet havens, their pine-backed coves and family-run tavernas a world apart from busier Mediterranean routes. The GPS chartplotter and radar guide confident navigation, while the autopilot grants breathing room to simply absorb the landscape. Whether you're an experienced skipper or sailing with a professional crew, the catamaran's shallow draft opens shallow bays and protected anchorages that monohulls cannot reach.

Picture yourself at week's end: anchored in crystalline water beneath limestone cliffs, the sun melting into the sea as local wine and freshly grilled fish warm the cockpit. This is the rhythm Nicolas offers—not rushed tourism, but the genuine cadence of Ionian sailing.
