Tourist-facing catamaran operators in the Mediterranean have run the same routes year after year, and they remember which guests were a pleasure to host. A few defaults keep you in the welcome column.
Reef-safe sunscreen recommended, less strictly enforced than the Caribbean. Buy a tube before you board; operators don't always sell it on board, and the captive-sale price stings if they do.
10 % cash; service sometimes included on private charters. The crew runs hard in the sun all day for tip income. Euro everywhere; cards accepted at most marinas.

English standard, plus local Greek/Spanish/Italian/Maltese. GetYourGuide handles the booking and customer support layer; most operators reply in English even when the local language is something else.
