Why charter this Fountaine Pajot Isla 40 - 4 + 1 cab.
4 cabins for 8 berths means about 2 guests per cabin, so bag storage and sleeping turns are clear before departure. 2 guests per head matters on early marina mornings, when showers, breakfast and casting off compete for time. At 11,9 m, this catamaran works best when swim stops still leave time for the evening berth.
Best charter fit
Fountaine Pajot Isla 40 - 4 + 1 cab. suits crews comparing cabin separation, luggage storage and bathroom timing across 4 cabins and 4 heads. The catamaran beam is useful at anchor, but marina planning needs wider berth options and earlier docking choices.
The Pagasitic Gulf and the crossing to the Sporades from Volos
Volos sits under Mount Pelion at the head of a deeply indented gulf, and that shelter is the point: the Pagasitic Gulf coves give far more protection than the open Aegean outside, so most of the week can be spent inside it. After handover, the near Pelion shore or a cove toward Trikeri makes a first anchorage while you read the forecast for the crossing. Nea Anchialos Airport (VOL) is a short drive, with Thessaloniki (SKG) the longer one. The days stay in the gulf, working the anchorages at Trikeri and along Pelion. The one commitment is the exposed crossing out to Skiathos, so make it in calm weather and keep the last night inside the gulf.
