Embarking on a Yacht Charter Adventure in Athens: A Guide to the Ultimate Sailing Vacation
Why Choose Yacht Charter in Athens?
Athens, a city where history sails alongside modernity, offers a unique yacht charter experience that combines the thrill of sailing with exploring ancient ruins and vibrant nightlife. Whether you're an experienced sailor or a first-time charterer, Athens serves as the perfect starting point for an unforgettable journey through the Hellenic Republic.
Gateway to the Aegean Sea and Beyond
Athens is not just the historical heart of Greece but also a prime location for starting your sailing holiday. With easy access from Athens International Airport to marinas like Alimos, Flisvos, and Zea, you're just a few knots away from setting sail on the azure waters of the Aegean Sea. The proximity to the Saronic Gulf and the Cyclades Islands makes Athens an ideal base for novice sailors and seasoned mariners.
A Fleet for Every Preference
Whether your preference leans towards a sleek sailing yacht, a luxury motor yacht, or a spacious catamaran, Athens’ yacht charter services offer various options. From bareboat charters for those who wish to captain their own vessel, to fully crewed luxury yachts that promise ultimate relaxation, there's a perfect boat for every group size and budget.
Tailored Sailing Experiences
Yacht charters in Athens allow you to customise your itinerary. Choose to explore the picturesque islands of the Saronic Gulf, with fewer crowds and scenic beaches, or set your course for the Cyclades, where you can experience the quintessence of Greek island hopping. The flexibility of a yacht charter means you can explore at your own pace, anchoring to dive into crystal clear waters or to dine on delicious local cuisine.
Planning Your Athens Yacht Charter
Best Time to Charter
The sailing season in Athens mirrors that of the broader Greek region, with May to October offering the best sailing conditions. The summer months, while popular, bring about the Meltemi winds, offering exhilarating sailing conditions for the adventurous.

- Ionian Sea: Although a bit further from Athens, the Ionian Islands are worth the journey for those interested in lush landscapes, pristine beaches, and Venetian architecture.
Insider Tips
- Marina Selection: Choosing the right marina to start your journey is crucial. Alimos Marina, one of the largest in Greece, provides numerous amenities and is a popular choice for many charters.
- Cultural Exploration: Make time to explore Athens itself, from the ancient Acropolis and the vibrant Plaka neighborhood to the National Archaeological Museum, before or after your sailing trip.
- Local Delicacies: Greek cuisine is a highlight of any yacht charter. Ensure to try local delicacies like Greek salad, fresh seafood, and, of course, a glass of ouzo.

The sailing season in Athens typically runs from April to October. The most stable weather conditions are between May and September, with July and August being the warmest and busiest months. For more comfortable temperatures and fewer crowds, many sailors prefer May–June or September–October.

What type of boat should I choose for a charter in Athens?
The best boat type depends on your group size and sailing plans. Sailing yachts are a common choice for island-hopping, while catamarans offer more space and stability, ideal for families or larger groups. For those with limited sailing experience, a skippered yacht can be a practical solution.
Do I need a licence to rent a boat in Athens?
To rent a bareboat yacht in Athens, at least one person on board must hold a valid sailing licence recognized by Greek authorities. A second crew member with basic sailing experience is often required. If no one in your group is licensed, you can charter a boat with a skipper.
How do I reach the main charter bases in Athens?
Most charter boats in Athens depart from marinas such as Alimos Marina, Kalamaki, or Lavrion. Alimos Marina is about 45 minutes by taxi or public transport from Athens International Airport (ATH). Lavrion is located closer to the airport and is often used for trips toward the Cyclades.

Common itineraries include a week-long loop through the Saronic Islands, visiting places like Aegina, Poros, Hydra, and Spetses. For experienced crews, the Cyclades (e.g., Kea, Kythnos, Syros) are accessible from Lavrion, though stronger winds (Meltemi) can be a challenge in high summer.
