Bareboat Catamaran Charter in Athens

To skipper a catamaran in Greece, you must hold a valid International Certificate of Competence (ICC) or a recognized national sailing license that is valid for offshore navigation. At least one other crew member should also have sailing experience or a secondary license. All documents must be in English or translated, and they will be verified by the port authorities before departure.

Yes, while the base price covers the yacht rental, you are responsible for fuel, water, and electricity consumed during the trip. You will also pay a mandatory transit log or end-cleaning fee (usually €200–€450). Mooring fees in Greek municipal ports are very affordable, often under €30 per night, though private marinas like those in Athens will be more expensive.

Absolutely. Even if you are skippering the boat yourself, you can add professional crew members to enhance your comfort. A hostess or cook can manage the provisioning, prepare fresh Mediterranean meals, and keep the interior tidy, allowing you to focus entirely on the navigation and relaxation. These services typically cost between €150 and €200 per day plus food.

For a bareboat charter, a refundable security deposit is required to cover potential damages to the vessel. This amount usually ranges from €2,500 to €4,000 depending on the yacht's value. The deposit is typically blocked on a credit card during check-in and released immediately after a successful technical inspection upon your return to the marina.
