Why charter with Sail Greece Yachts?

Sail Greece Yachts was founded in 1985 by two close friends who love sailing, Giannis Makridakis and Vassilis Patiniotis . We try to think like customers and we care about making friends that enjoy sailing rather than clients.

We charter our own privately owned sailing yachts without any commission so you can rely on reasonable rental prices and immediate and personal support .

We are proud to have happy customers in most countries of the world and are even more proud that many are willing to provide personal recommendations to those thinking about using our boats. We invite you to have a look at our testimonials and we will be happy to provide a personal contact in your country who will be happy to testify to our services!

Sailing Charters to the Greek Islands

Greece is home to over 1400 islands running from isolated islets to some of the most famous islands in the world (Santorini or Mykonos anyone?). No matter what your tastes run to: secluded beaches, nightlife and culture, archaeological and historical sites… or a combination of everything together, you will find a suitable island in Greece. We guarantee, if you like sailing, you are going to love sailing in Greece!

One of the great advantages of sailing in Greece is the small distances between many of the islands. If you have a week (or even a weekend!) you may easily visit islands in the Saronic Gulf or the Cyclades from Athens. If you have longer than a week then take your time and relax, exploring your chosen islands in greater detail, or visit more islands to tick them off your holiday checklist!

For more information we invite you to browse our suggested sailing routes with details on popular island itineraries and sailing distances. For the more practically minded bareboat sailors, the fantastic Greek Cruisers Wiki offers many details on sailing in Greece and the marinas and facilities available on various islands.

Crewed Yacht Charters

Sail Greece is pleased to offer fully crewed charters upon request. With our crewed charters your boat comes with a crew to sail your boat and a hostess to prepare your meals on board. The safety and management of the boat is the responsibility of your captain while day to day shopping and preparation of the meals is the duty of your hostess. You simply sit back and enjoy your stress free and relaxing sailing vacation in Greece! Contact us for more details.

Testimonials

Outstanding service and very reasonable prices.

There is no reason to try out any other charter company in Greece!

Our trips with Sail Greece have been fantastic!!!

I highly reccommend Sail Greece to those who want to experience sailing in Greece.

If you are thinking about using Sail Greece I could not recommend them highly enough.

You can immediately see the care and attention to detail that The Sail Greece crew take with their boats.

We had a wonderful trip thanks to you, Tomas and the rest of the crew.

I fully recommend Giannis and Sail Greece as good partners for smooth sailing!

Bareboat or Skippered?

We offer both bareboat and skippered yacht charters depending on the need of each client and group.

Bareboat yacht charters require at least one member of the rental party to have a valid International Certificate of Competence  or a national equivalent.

If you are new to sailing or want to kick back and relax, we work with a select group of  skippers who will be happy to show you the best of the Greek islands  no matter what your taste!

Aegina Island

Even though the island is small, it boasts a great number of sights and natural beauties. The island’s highlight is the famous Aphea Temple. It forms in fact an equilateral triangle with the Parthenon and the Temple of Poseidon at Sounion, the so-called “holy triangle” of the antiquity. Aegina town, the capital of the island, stands out for its well-preserved buildings. On the outskirts you can find charming little villages with distinctive traditional character, such as Agia Marina, Perdika, Souvala, Kypseli, Agii and Vagia. Aegina is also surrounded by many smaller islands such as Moni, Metopi, Diaportia, Lagouses, Kyra, Dorousa, Spalathonisi, Anonyma that you can visit by boat from the port of Aegina.

Athens Yacht Charters

Considered the birthplace of Western civilization, Athens boasts some of the world’s finest examples of Hellenic architecture that bears witness to the ancient city’s golden age, dating back 2,500 years. However, the bustling cosmopolitan capital also offers a wealth of cool hangouts – from hip rooftop bars and chic restaurants to neighborhood tavernas and modern Greek bistros, all spilling out onto tree-studded pavements alive with warm chatter and a vibrant atmosphere, making this the perfect stop-off for a Greece yacht charter . 

Yacht Charters in Athens

Offering a wealth of ancient historical monuments, museums and a veritable patchwork of narrow streets, markets and sun-kissed piazzas, you’ll be spoiled for choice with so much to fit in.

A trip to Greece's capital would not be complete without a visit to its famous Acropolis. Rising 500-feet above sea-level, access to this majestic UNESCO Heritage Site is found via a winding path on its southern flank that leads up to the majestic Doric-columned oblong temple, home to Athens' crowning glory; the  Parthenon .

Other highlights include Lycabettus Hill, one of the highest peaks in Athens offering sweeping views of the city and beyond, complete with its own open-air theater, as well as the Cine Paris – an outdoor cinema with glorious views over the Acropolis. For beautiful sunset views, head to the Temple of Poseidon, a striking series of towering columns that stand 60 meters above sea level against the backdrop of the glittering Saronic Gulf. Another must-visit is Athens’ Plaka neighborhood, stretching out under the shadow of the Acropolis it plays host to a wealth of ancient sites, museums, historic churches and picturesque piazzas with bustling cafes and restaurants.

Charter Itineraries in Athens

A Greece luxury yacht itinerary can commence in the capital city of Athens and incorporate the beautiful Saronic Islands , Peloponnesus or, slightly further afield, the ever-popular Cyclades archipelago , home to the celebrated islands of Santorini and Mykonos . With countless beautiful islands on its doorstep, yacht charter itinerary options from Athens are bountiful.

Offering excellent transport links – including a nearby International Airport – long summer season tempered by fresh northeasterly breezes, deeply rich cultural heritage and close proximity to a trove of idyllic islands, Athens is the perfect base for yacht charters .

Yacht & Catamaran Charter in Athens, Greece

We can help you find the perfect yacht or catamaran to sail from Athens!

Sailing from Athens

Everyone knows Athens is monumentally historical, and lays claim to being the birthplace of modern Mathematics, Eonomics, Philsophy and even civilisation, so it should come as no surprise to learn that it is also one of the oldest sailing destinations in the world, with ships setting sail from the Capital centuries ago!  It is a classic cruising ground, and has some fantastic marinas to set sail from, all well connected to the ancient centre.

Athens is the best place to charter from if you want to explore the Saronic islands - and there's so much to explore: from the pistachio-growing island of Aegina, the ancient ruins at Poros, and the almost mythical Hydra, which is an amphitheatre of a marina that is genuinely a wonder to behold, and where they still transport everything by donkey! We can help you find and book your ideal yacht or catamaran, with one of our trusted Charter Partners - just get in touch or search in the pink box with live prices and availability !  

 SAILING RATING:  Beginner - With easy line-of-sight navigation, clear waters and light winds it's a great start point for sailors (and an easy cruising ground for experienced ones).  Peak season is July & August, but you can sail here from March to October.

 MUST-SEE:  Our full suggested itinerary is further down the page, but we'd highly recommend taking in beautiful (and homely) town of Aegina , the hill-side fishing village of Hydra , and of course the ancient parts of Athens .

 WHAT WE CAN OFFER:  We have a great range of yachts and catamarans available for charter from our trusted Charter Partners, all available bareboat or Skippered. We can also arrange a Hostess, Personal Chef and other crew.

 GETTING THERE:  Both Marinas are c. 40 minutes from Athens International airport. We can organise transfers for you - a 4 person taxi is c. €40 - 50.

 WHY BOOK WITH US?  We only work with the very best professional charter operators , who we have met, know, and trust to give you the same outstanding customer service as you'll get from PlainSailing.com.  

 WHAT NEXT?  Use the pink box to search for yachts or catamarans with LIVE pricing & availability - if you have any other questions or requests, get in touch via Live Chat, the Contact Form , or by phone.

6-day Sailing Itinerary from Athens

From Athens you're very well placed to explore the Saronic islands - Aegina is famous for its pistachio nuts, Poros for its vibrant tavernas and the Posedion ruins, and Hydra for the incredible stepped-town which is a joy to behold after a few hours at sea.

This itinerary also includes getting the boat back to the home marina for 6pm on Friday night, as required by the charter operator (so they can inspect the yacht), and then complete the check-out formalities immediately before you leave the boat (after an exhilarating week) on Saturday morning.  

Avoiding the ferries and the massive cargo ships, the island of Aegina will be on the nose of the bow for most of the way, and then you tuck around the north-side of the island to find the pretty fishing village of Aegina, which has bars, restaurants and shops located around the marina to tempt you back on to dry land. Aegina is most famous for its pistachio nuts, so be sure to pick up a handful.  

The main part of the town is on the northern side of the channel, which offers neoclassical architecture, a town square, and a beautiful blue church tower, as well as plenty of traditional Greek taverna's, almost all of which will serve up excellent seafood. There's also the ruins of the ancient temple of Poseidon, but beware they are just ruins now.  

From Poros, you'll bear out of the channel and in a South-easterly direction along the Peloponnese peninsular, before heading South-west to Hydra. The entry into Hydra is spectacular (and one of the high points of the Mediterranean), with the buildings on the steep sides of the bay turning the marina into something of a medieval auditorium. The marina is only small, so get there early if you want to be guaranteed a spot.  

Formed from intense volcanic activity in around 260 BC, Methana's 25 volcanoes now lie pretty much dormant, save for a few sulphur springs and thermal baths (both inside and outdoors). The baths are said to have mystical healing ability, but, at the very least, they're warm. For those that like to scale volcanoes, there are a number of large craters to be found, but it's an arduous trek from the town. Plus the nearby beautiful beach of Limnionas is well worth a visit, and the view of the surrounding islands is almost just as good from sea-level.  

Agistri, or, more specifically, the town of Megalochori (or ‘Milos') at it's Northern tip, is an idyllic Greek fishing village with enchanting narrow streets. Life clearly moves at a different pace, and it's almost impossible not to relax here. As with most of the Saronic gulf, the seafood is exceptional, and you'll consider money well spent if you visit a local taverna.  

If you haven't yet been to explore Athens ancient centre, then it really is well worth a visit, and the Acropolis is still a wonder to behold even after 2,000 years. A tram stop just outside the marina makes it easy to connect to the city centre, and then you can join all the other tourists in checking out the home of modern civilisation.

For those with less energy, the best beach bars in Athens are just along the coast, or the marina itself has three bars which should have not only a fun atmosphere, but also plenty of fellow sailors who you can share tales of your adventures with. And then it's time to check-out to head for home – and to start planning your next voyage with PlainSailing.com for next year (or maybe you can squeeze a quick jaunt in later on in the season...?)

The prevailing wind in Athens is a North-Easterly, which means you'll likely be going down the wind to nearby Aegina and Poros, or reaching if you stick to the coastline south of Athens. The wind is fairly dependable during the sailing season, with wind speeds of over 11 knots most days offering ideal sailing conditions. It is typically a katabatic wind which rolls off the mainland once the ground is heated by the sun, meaning that the wind starts off slowly in the mornings, picks up in the afternoons, andis virtually non-existent when the sun sets.

In you're sailing in the Cyclades (as opposed to the Saronic Gulf, it's useful to know that during spells of July and August, there are also Melthimi winds, which descend from Hungary and can reach speeds of over 25 knots, and which are probably best enjoyed from land unless you’re an experienced sailor.

Our Charter Partners operate out of three different marinas in Athens, and both are easily accessible by public transport. 

Most charters at the moment are from Alimos Marina , but we also sail from Agios Kosmas Marina , 8km further to the south of Athens, which hosted the 2004 Olympic sailing events.

If you're staying in the area before or after your charter, we can recommend these places that are close to the marinas: Hotel Nefeli or Hotel Poseidon near Alimos, or the Bomo Palace Hotel near to Agios Kosmas Marina.

Alimos Marina, Athens

Alimos Marina is the largest marina in Athens, with over 1080 berths for yachts, and superb facilities - including three in-marina bars/restaurants which can provide a great starting point to your holiday, or a welcome space for rest and relaxation away from your boat. Just down the coast, there's a public beach to while away the hours, and, heading in the same direction you'll also find some of Athens best beach-clubs and most exclusive nightclubs which spill out onto the beach and where cocktails and loud music flow well into the night.

Agios Kosmas Marina, Athens

Agios Kosmas Marina was the host port for the sailing events in the 2004 Athens Olympics. It has since been converted to make space for 337 berths - including berths for boats as as big as 80m long - and it was awarded a Blue Flag for excellence in 2017.

The nearest town is the upmarket Glyfada, where you'll find one of Greece's only golf coursers. The centre, a pleasant 1km sea-side stroll away has plenty of decent restaurants, and is where Athenians come to relax and recover after a hard day in the city.

Explore the Cyclades & Saronic Gulf from Athens!

Athens is easy to reach from any country in the world through the bustling Athens International Airport. Many of our visitors reserve a few days at the beginning or the end of their sailing trip to Greece to explore this remarkable city studded with ancient ruins, spectacular museums, but also a vibrant metropolitan nightlife!

Our fleet in Alimos Marina includes a diverse range of brand new sailing yachts and catamarans to suit every taste. Our Alimos charter base is a popular starting spot for bareboat charters , and if you need a helping hand we have best skippers in Greece ready to show you around.

Arriving in Athens

Alimos Marina is located on the southwest coastline of Athens, just 15km from the city center, 8km south of the central Piraeus port, and 30km from the Athens International Airport, a 35-50 minute taxi ride, depending on traffic. Public transport options are also available.

Together, our goal is to deliver an unforgettable sailing adventure, with a focus on exceptional service, support, and a carefree experience you'll treasure forever .

Suggested Sailing Itineraries from Athens

From our base in Athens, sailors typically follow one of two main sailing itineraries that are, broadly speaking, focused either in the Saronic Gulf or the Cyclades archipelago. Of course you are free to choose whatever itinerary you wish and we are always happy to offer suggestions and recommendations.

The Saronic Gulf

The Saronic Gulf islands of Aegina , Poros , Hydra , Spetses and the Peloponnesian coast offer smooth sailing largely sheltered from strong winds. The Saronic sailing route, centered around the gulf, is highly recommended for easy sailing, especially in July & August, when the strong northern " meltemi " winds are usually strong further south in the Cyclade. It is also preferable for a charter of less than two weeks due to the relatively short sailing times between popular destinations.

Along this route you will find breathtaking vistas of cosmopolitan island towns , ancient temples, Byzantine castles, small fishing ports and unspoiled anchorages . The wind force of the annual N-NW Meltemi is usually not stronger than force 4-5, and can be significantly lower around the Island of Poros and the Methana Peninsula. There is also a possibility for some light S-SE winds, especially close to the Peloponnesian coast.

The Cyclades

The Cyclades is a group of Islands lying amidst the amazing Aegean Sea . They are world famous for the beauty of their rough, rocky landscapes merging with the crystal-clear sea, the traditional white-washed houses and windmills, and the endless possibilities they offer for exploring and sightseeing. Needless to say, some of the islands are well-known, to put it mildly, for their nightlife (Mykonos we are looking at you).

Cruising in this archipelago definitely requires skilled, experienced sailors as the winds, especially in July and August, can easily reach Force 6-7 N-NW, with the norm being Force 4-5 N-NW (the so called Meltemi annual winds). If you decide to sail the Cyclades you should certainly consider the more famous islands including Paros , Santorini , Mykonos , Serifos and Milos . Although, in all honesty, every island in the Cyclades is a true gem waiting to be discovered and many of our guests sail the area repeatedly to visit islands they have not yet had the time to explore.

Sample 7 Day Itinerary to the Saronic Gulf

Day 1: alimos marina to perdika or agia marina bay.

Day 1 starts at Alimos Marina where you can set sail for a relaxing 3-4 hour journey to either Perdika Port or Agia Marina Bay, both on the island of Aegina.

On Day 4, sail for 2-3 hours to either Agios Emilianos Bay or Hinitsa Bay, both located near the island of Spetses.

Athens - Temple of Olympian Zeus

Athens is regarded as the historical capital of Europe. Over the years Athens was occupied by numerous conquerors contributing to the many beautiful monuments gracing this fascinating city. Since 1834 the city is known as the modern Greek state and in the past two centuries it has evolved into an attractive modern metropolis with matchless charisma. 

The historic centre of Athens has been transformed into a 3-kilometre pedestrian zone, covering the most important archeological sites, reconstructing, to a large degree, the ancient landscape of the town. Sites not to miss visiting the city during your Athens yacht vacation include the Hadrian’s Arch, which represents a symbolic entrance to the city or the temple of Olympian Zeus. Strolling along the Dionysou Areopaghitou Street you will come across the ancient Theatre of Dionysos featuring most of the works by Sophocles, Euripides, Aeschylus and Aristophanes. Continuing your walk, you will come across the ruins of the Asklepieion and the Stoa of Eumenes, as well as the Odeon of Herodes Atticus. From here you should most definitely climb up to the sacred rock of the Acropolis, where some of the world’s most important masterpieces of architecture and art can be found. The most famous is the Parthenon temple, followed by Propylaea, the temple of the Athene Nike and the Erechtheion. There is also the Acropolis Museum situated only 300m away, representing one of the most important contemporary works of architecture in Athens. Its exhibition contains 4,000 priceless finds from the Acropolis monuments.

Plaka neighbourhood, located on the eastern side of the Acropolis, is the historic centre of the town full of picturesque cafés, bars, tavernas and restaurants as well as small souvenir shops selling traditional Greek products. Enjoy a leisurely walk through the narrow winding streets lined with houses and mansions from the time of the Turkish occupation or the Neoclassical period and get transported back in time! This part of town is also home to the Lysikrates Monument, Hadrian’s library or the Roman Agora with the renowned Tower of the Winds. There are numerous museums including Folk Art, Popular Musical Instruments, Frysira Art Gallery and many others. 

For sport lovers the Panathenaikon (Kallimarmaro) Stadium, home to the first Olympic Games in the modern history (1896), is a must-visit. 

For those looking to do some shopping on their Athens yacht holiday in Greece, the commercial neighbourhood is the place to be. Starting with the Ermou Street, this area features more than 2,500 shops. On the western side of this area is the Athinas Street, reminiscent of Middle Eastern food markets. For luxury goods and fine boutiques, head to the Kolonaki, where you will find numerous world-renowned brands and shops selling high couture. There are also plenty of modern, high-end restaurants, bars and cafés often visited by the crème de la crème. Stroll the lovely streets of this neighbourhood enjoying the beautiful art déco, art nouveau and antebellum architecture. 

In addition to admiring the unique view of this ancient city from aboard your chosen Athens charter yacht, there are plenty of great places in the city itself to enjoy the breathtaking panoramic views. If you are after a relaxing walk, take a stroll along the seaside or for nightlife entertainment choose one of the many nightclubs located around the harbour.

Athens Yacht Charter Enquiry

Dear Josh, I was just about to write you one word "WOW!!!"Thank you very very much! Your recommendation is now becoming a brand :-) I can now blindly trust your advice :-) I loved the boat. It is in excellent condition. It is rather big, but cozy. We had all the chances for interactive sailing and for the discreet leisure time. We hardly ever went anywhere out of the upper deck, because it was so lovely! The master bedroom was perfect. The idea with two bathrooms is great! I loved the crew. Everyone was welcoming, ready to help and in general they were very pleasant people! Especially the captain and his senior assistant Tasos. We felt as if we were hosted by the family of old friends. Despite the short trip, they shown us lovely places to swim, advised on the island hiking, entertained us with the tender/toys. Food. Majestic! It was the first try for the new chef on Gitana. And he exceeded any expectation! Quality, quantity, the table service ...were impeccable. Your wines arrangement worked very well too! Sailing. We had just two chances to open full sails. But it was great! Otherwise the motor was perfectly sufficient. The boat was remarkably stable while on the go. So, our last minute booking turned out to be a fantastic adventure! Thank you very much! I am glad that you were there to help with this difficult booking. Really appreciated! S/Y GITANA / Athens, Greece / Oct 2
