Good to know before you sail.

For the whole yacht, for one week. We only offer private charters: we never combine different groups on one yacht.

Depending on the yacht and the type of charter: skipper and host, fuel, end cleaning, marina fees and your provisioning. Every quote lists these separately, so there are no surprises at the end of the week.

Like a rental car. You start with a full tank and a fuel truck refills the yacht when you return. You pay the fuel service directly, by card or cash. Consumption depends on the yacht, the weather and how much you use the generator and air conditioning.

Yes. Our offers include all taxes unless stated otherwise.

All our yachts are insured. We strongly recommend trip cancellation insurance from a provider in your own country. We are happy to provide any documents your insurer needs.

No. With our professional skipper on board, no security deposit is required.

Any change of dates, destination or yacht is treated as a cancellation. Cancellations more than 60 days before departure are refundable only if the yacht is rebooked, less an administration fee. Within 60 days, payments are not refundable. Full details are in our Terms and Conditions.

No, only private charters. For two guests, one of our smaller yachts keeps the cost reasonable.

We work week by week, from Saturday to Saturday, because a good holiday on the water needs at least five days. Two or three weeks are of course possible.

Our charters run Saturday to Saturday. Send us your dates anyway: occasionally a midweek start is possible.

Your yacht is ready on Saturday from 16:30–17:00 at Alimos Marina. Your skipper welcomes you, shows you the yacht and gives a safety briefing, and you plan the week together. You return to the marina on Friday evening, sleep on board, and disembark at 09:00 on Saturday.

Mainly from Athens, Saturday to Saturday. Starting from Athens lets us follow the weather: the Cyclades when the wind allows, the quieter Saronic islands when it does not.

Share your preferences with us and we will suggest a route. The final plan is made with your captain on the day, because the weather decides more than any map.

Honestly, no. Santorini is about 140 miles from Athens, around 17 hours of sailing each way. Our suggestion: after your charter, take a 30-minute flight or a ferry and spend a couple of days there.

Usually between 2.5 and 6 hours, depending on the route, the weather and how you like to travel. The times in our sample itineraries are realistic.

It is possible, but there is a one-way cost for crew, fuel and formalities, and reaching the islands by ferry takes time. We usually recommend starting from Athens.

Greece has thousands of islands. We suggest choosing fewer and enjoying each one. Your captain will help you get the most out of the week.

Everything you need: a fully equipped galley with plates, glasses, cutlery and cookware, bed linen and towels (one set per person per week), snorkelling masks and fins, and a dinghy with outboard.

Yes. Every yacht has a gas hob and oven, and the larger yachts and catamarans have more than one fridge and a freezer.

European 220V sockets and USB sockets in the cabins and saloon. We have adapters if you need them. Guests from the US should check their devices accept 220V.

On catamarans and larger yachts, at any time. On smaller yachts, only when connected to shore power.

Only on deck, never inside. Ask us for ashtrays.

A sailing holiday is one of the best family holidays there is. Parents remain responsible for their children at all times, on the move and at anchor. Your skipper helps, but cannot watch everyone at once.

We send you a provisioning list. Tick what you want and we have it delivered to your yacht before you arrive, free of charge. No waiting in a supermarket on a busy Saturday.

Either we deliver your list, or you shop together with your host, or (our suggestion) you tell us your preferences and any allergies and your host prepares everything before you arrive.

Not too much. Every island has supermarkets, so a basic first order is enough.

Yes. Ask us before departure and we will bring it to the yacht. Ice is also sold in every island supermarket.

We match the skipper to your group: families, friends, first-timers, keen sailors. All our captains are easy-going and flexible, and returning guests often ask for the same captain again.

In the skipper cabin or, if you have a spare guest cabin, there. A proper bed helps your skipper rest, but your privacy comes first.

Invite them to join you, or allow around €20–25 per person per day for their food.

It is customary when you are happy with the week, but never obligatory.

Soft bags are best, as storage on board is limited. If you bring suitcases, we can keep them at our base for the week.

Swimwear, light clothes, a sweater for the evenings, a light rain jacket, soft-soled shoes, sunscreen, sunglasses and a hat. Dress on board is casual.

Yes. Most places accept cards, but carry some cash. Your captain knows where to find a laundry along the way.
