Catamaran Rentals in Athens, Greece
Embark on an unforgettable Mediterranean journey from the historic heart of Greece. Our curated selection of catamaran rentals in Athens offers the perfect blend of stability, space, and luxury for exploring the Aegean Sea. Whether you are seeking a sunset cruise along the Athenian Riviera or a week-long island-hopping odyssey, our fleet provides the ultimate platform for comfort and style.
Luxury Fleet and Premium Onboard Services
Our Athens fleet features the latest models from world-renowned shipyards like Lagoon and Fountaine Pajot. These catamarans are designed for social living, offering expansive trampolines for sunbathing, shaded cockpits for al fresco dining, and spacious en-suite cabins. When you choose our catamaran rentals, you can opt for a bareboat experience if you hold a valid license, or a fully skippered charter. Luxury packages often include a professional hostess and chef who prepare gourmet Mediterranean meals, handle all provisioning, and ensure the vessel remains pristine, allowing you to focus entirely on the breathtaking Greek scenery.
Sailing Routes from Alimos and Lavrio Marinas
Starting your journey from Alimos Marina or Lavrio opens the door to the enchanting Saronic Gulf and the Cyclades. A typical itinerary might include a stop at the temple of Poseidon in Cape Sounion before heading to the car-free island of Hydra with its stunning stone mansions. Poros and Spetses offer lush greenery and cosmopolitan harbors, while the crystalline waters of Agistri are perfect for paddleboarding. For those with more time, the iconic blue-and-white landscapes of Kythnos and Kea are within easy reach, providing a mix of secluded turquoise bays and traditional tavernas serving fresh seafood right on the sand.
Pricing, Logistics, and Booking Process
The cost of catamaran rentals in Athens varies based on the season, the age of the vessel, and the level of service required. During the peak months of July and August, weekly rates typically range from €5,000 for smaller models to over €25,000 for large luxury power catamarans. These prices generally include the boat insurance and VAT, while expenses like fuel, port fees, and food are handled via an Advanced Provisioning Allowance (APA). Booking is straightforward: select your dates, choose your preferred layout, and secure your vessel with a deposit. We recommend booking at least six months in advance for summer charters.
Planning Your Trip: Seasonality and Extensions
The Greek sailing season runs from late April to October, with the 'meltemi' winds being strongest in August. For those who prefer calmer seas and milder temperatures, May, June, and September are ideal. Beyond the water, we offer seamless integration with our luxury villa portfolio. Many guests choose to combine a week of sailing with a few days in a private villa in Vouliagmeni or overlooking the Acropolis. This 'surf and turf' approach allows you to experience the vibrant nightlife and ancient history of Athens before retreating to the tranquility of the open sea on your private multihull.
