What an experience!
"An unforgettable catamaran experience by the Aegean Sea. Stunning views, exceptional crew and unique moments. Highly recommended."
A great sailing week!
"It was more than what we were expecting! Very nice and friendly crew (they made us feel safe throughout the entire trip) and the food was A M A Z I N G! We will be back as soon as possible!"
Outstanding experience!
"The catamaran, the service, our captain, everything was on spot! We had 4 adults and 5 kids ages 8-12 and it was amazing! My wife who has always been afraid of the water is now demanding to do it again next year! And we will. Can't wait to do it again with the same company!"
Best family vacation
"Our family (a group of 8, all adults) decided to go on a sailing adventure in Greece. After emailing with Eugene it was clear that he was honest, kind and professional. To make a long story short, he put in so much extra work to ensure that our trip was incredible. The catamaran experience was a true bliss. The food made by the cook purely incredible as well as the captain who made us feel safe during this sailing adventure. Definitely coming back. Efkaristo YachtSailing"
A week to remember
"This was my first time with yachtsailing.gr and definitely not the last one. Very professional team, service focused, creating friendly atmosphere, trustworthy. The catamaran was perfectly prepared, well maintained and equipped, clean. The crew (captain and cook) was one of the reasons that made this trip unforgettable"
Fantastic sailing in Greece
"We are 6 Americans sailing for the first time in Greece for a week. We chartered a Lagoon 52 (Baron). We had the most fantastic time through the Greek islands.. Yachtsailing team is great, very friendly, professional, helpful and all very well organized. Totally recommend them!"
Incredible sailing experience
"We recently completed a 2-week family sailing adventure in Greece and wanted to share our experience. We are a family of 5 sailing for the first time, therefore we did not know what to expect. The trip could not be more amazing. The captain, the cook, the food, the islands, the atmosphere were 5 out of 5 stars. Hope to visit again in the future."
An anniversary to remember
"We just came back from our vacation in Greece. We chartered the 52 catamaran Baron for a week for 8 adults and it was the best way to celebrate our 25th anniversary. We truly had a fantastic experience! Great service, great skipper and cook! The only regret: we stay 1 week only. Next time we' ll book for 2 weeks. Thank you for making our vacation memorable."
An amazing Greek experience
"For our first week-long, family sailing-experience in Greece, we rented a catamaran Baron from Yachtsailing.gr. We had a wonderful experience with the boat, the skipper and the cook who made the best meals ever! We would highly recommend this company and this trip for families, and we will surely go again."
Excellent trip!
"Greece was an absolute amazing experience! The people are the friendliest in Europe! As for the team of yachtsailing they were amazing. Eugene and his team run a very smooth operation - I can really recommend them. It was one of my favorite holidays of all time"
Amazing Baron catamaran charter experience!
"We were lucky enough to charter the Baron catamaran ! They were absolutely amazing. They personalized the trip with great leadership while still letting us custom tailor the islands, activities and experience in general! Our skipper leaded a great show with professionalism and skill on the seas and our chef's cooking was to die for!!! Soooo good and healthy. I can’t wait to go back and hopefully set up the same boat and crew! Keep up the good work!! Chris"
Unforgettable Sailing Experience in Greece – With the Best Captain & HosT
"We had the most incredible time sailing in Greece — a truly magical experience from start to finish! The boat was beautiful, comfortable, and perfectly suited for exploring the coastline, but what truly made this trip unforgettable was our amazing captain and hostess From the moment we stepped aboard, we felt welcomed and at ease. Our captain was not only highly skilled and professional but also warm, attentive, and full of local knowledge. He took us to stunning hidden coves, charming little towns, and the best swimming spots we could have dreamed of. The atmosphere on board was relaxed, joyful, and full of good vibes — the perfect balance between adventure and total serenity. We felt safe, cared for, and completely free to enjoy every moment. If you’re looking for an authentic and unforgettable way to experience the Greek islands, we couldn’t recommend this sailing trip enough. Thank you for the memories — we’re already dreaming of coming back!"
Greek Island Trip
"This was an amazing trip. Our crew was incredible to the point we all wanted to she’d tears saying bye to them. They very quickly became part of our group and we enjoyed spending time with them. I could not reccomend a better on board crew. We will miss them both!"
It was an experience of a lifetime.
"Where do I begin? The crew greeted us with open arms and welcoming smiles. From the food and kindness all the way to the guidance of what to do created a memory of a lifetime. I highly recommend this boat trip and especially this crew."
Amazing Family Experience Aboard the Baron in the Saronic Sea!
"I chartered the Baron catamaran for a week to explore the Saronic Sea, joined by my wife and our two teenage children (ages 18 & 16). From the moment we stepped aboard, we were warmly welcomed by our outstanding crew. Each morning began with a delicious breakfast before setting sail to a new Greek island. We visited Epidavros, Poros, Spetses, Ermioni, and Agistri—each destination offering its own blend of extraordinary history, charm, and beauty. Thanks to our skipper's deep knowledge of the area and his flexible approach, we also ventured off the beaten path to secluded bays where we swam, snorkeled, and paddle boarded. A true highlight was spotting dolphins in the open sea! Our chef's cooking was extraordinary. She prepares fresh, meals from scratch using the best local ingredients. She can make anything - favorites from home to amazing authentic Greek meals! I’m a pescatarian while my family are meat eaters, we preferred to try greek foods. Our hostess was amazingly adapt at providing a variety of choices for all of us. In the evenings, we went ashore to dine at tavernas recommended by our crew, often greeted as old friends by the owners and seated at tables with the best views. Throughout the journey, our captain and hostess/chef were impeccable hosts, anticipating every need and ensuring our experience was as relaxing and enjoyable as possible. Their professionalism, warmth, knowledge of the region, and passion for what they do made this a truly unforgettable adventure. This was a once-in-a-lifetime trip, that we would consider repeating! We cannot recommend Baron highly enough. As for our teenagers perspective, they loved the boat and thought the experience was tons of fun! They thought our crew to be extremely cool; although, they used the words “fire” and “lit” which is apparently a huge endorsement in modern teen terms."
Sailing through Greece - June 2025
"This sailing trip through Greece was truly unforgettable — and that’s entirely thanks to our crew. From the moment we stepped aboard, they went above and beyond to make every day feel special. Their attention to detail, tireless work ethic, and genuine care for our comfort and enjoyment did not go unnoticed. Our captain's calm leadership and deep knowledge of the sea, paired with our chef's warmth, humor, and hospitality, created an experience that was both seamless and full of joy. We swam in some of the clearest, most stunning waters I’ve ever seen — from hidden coves to open sea, each spot was perfect for diving in, floating in peace, or just soaking up the sun. The food was another highlight: fresh seafood, traditional Greek dishes, and home cooked meals on board made the experience all that much better. Whether we were enjoying a quiet coffee in a village square or jumping off the boat into turquoise water, every moment felt special. It’s rare to meet people so dedicated to making others feel at home while on an adventure. I can’t thank them enough for the memories, the laughs, and the incredible atmosphere they created. This trip wouldn’t have been the same without them — I’m so grateful to have had the chance to sail with such an amazing crew. 10/10 - Would do it all over again in a heartbeat! 💙"
Best places, best crew
"This trip was absolutely fabulous. The views, the swimming, the FOOD….it was all amazing. But to top it off, we had the absolute BEST CREW EVER. they made us feel extremely welcomed and cared for us with absolute kindness. I can’t explain enough how great they were!"
Best catamaran and crew in Greece!
"This is a vacation like no other. We spent 7 days with a group of 8 adults on the Baron … and we did not want to leave! The boat is spacious, well equipped, extremely clean, and very comfortable. The beds are super comfy, the water pressure in the showers was unexpectedly strong, the towels were high quality. We had lots of space with 8 people to even store our suitcases. The boat is great and we were happy we went with Yachtsailing that, albeit more expensive than average, offered a really luxurious and comfortable boat. But what truly made the different were our captain and Maria. They went out of their way to make sure we were all comfortable and enjoying our trip and everything Greece has to offer. Our captain was incredibly friendly, conversational, and dedicated. He worked hard to ensure we could have the smoothest sailing possible (even though the Aegean Sea is rough!). Our hostess was worldly, super interesting, and extremely knowledgeable. She is also an amazing chef — some of our best meals we had on the boat done by her. I want to believe that our group found new friends in our crew! Thank you guys for an incredible experience. A week on a catamaran is like a vacation like no other. But you really can’t go wrong with Yachtsailing!"
Incredible Voyage on Baron!
"Just returned from an incredible trip onboard Baron! I don't have enough words to express what a great trip it was due to the incredible competence and personalities of our skipper and the chef/first mate. From the moment we stepped onboard to the day we left, it was an incredibly positive experience. The most difficult thing about the trip was saying goodbye to our two new friends. As a sailor I had high expectations of our captain and he did not disappoint! Our skipper was an incredibly experienced and competent leader. His mastery of the seas was highly evident. Our chef never failed to delight us with innovative, traditional Greek cuisine. Her warm personality was always a great way to start our day. I never saw her without a smile! Sitting around laughing and sharing stories with our beloved crew made this trip enjoyable. Also, the support from Yachtsailing's office was amazing! From my first call with Eugene to Maria waiting for us on the dock the first day to welcome us, everything was handled with extreme professionalism and backed by warm, engaging personalities. I would not hesitate to use this company again and highly recommend a trip with Baron!"
Week on the Baron
"We had an outstanding crew for our week on the Baron. Fantastic time sailing around the Cyclades with our fun and smart crew!"
Greece Sept 2025
"Our trip on the Baron was just amazing!! They kept us comfortable and informed throughout the journey around the Cyclades. They were both so friendly, knowledgeable and just fun to be with! We enjoyed every minute! The boat was very comfortable. It accommodated our group of 10 perfectly. The boat had plenty of room in the front and back for all of us to hang out and the table was big enough so we all ate breakfast and lunch together. The food that was made for us every day was exceptional!! Every meal was better than the last!! We were spoiled!! The places they suggested for dinner and things to do were right just right for our group!! Also want to give a shout out to the land crew who helped organize everything for us - Maria, Kate, Eugene. We highly recommend this trip. It’s truly special."
Exceptional!!
"Super Organized. Informative along the way. Friendly. Our crew was absolutely the best in every way possible!"
Magical Sailing in Greece
"A magical week in Greece. I’ve travelled to this region several times and this was by far the best experience. The food was amazing and prepared daily by a fantastic Greek chef and host . So delicious and authentic. The boat is newly renovated and comfortable. We enjoyed visiting the Islands of Poros, Hydra and others in the area. The captain was a true professional. He navigated us through some rainy weather and found the sun! These two are a wonderful team! We are definitely coming back. Loved every second!"
Don’t look any further - the absolute best trip, crew, and company!
"Absolutely amazing!!! The greatest trip our family has ever taken! Eugene and Maria were extremely helpful throughout the entire process of booking the trip. They answered all of our questions and were very honest about what we could expect on the trip. The trip as a whole and the Saronic Islands were amazing - words simply cannot describe the beauty. Our favorite part of the entire trip, though, was our crew . They treated us like family and we love them as if they were our own. Our hostess, was the best Grecian mother, making sure we each got a big hug each morning. Her food was extraordinary. You won’t find a better cook! She paid close attention to each of our preferences and served a wide variety of foods. She took the time to build a special relationship with each of us. She even came back on her day off to say goodbye to us! Our captain, was the perfect skipper and gentleman. It was very evident that sailing was his passion, not just a job. He was frequently tidying up around the boat and ensured everything was operating as it should daily. He was mindful of each of his passenger’s needs. He was always looking for ways to make the trip a little extra special for each of us on board - private coves, teaching us Greek words, drone pictures, early morning coffee, local pubs, paper roses, etc. You name it, he will make it happen! Both were extremely professional when interacting with other crews in the ports. They emphasized safety both on the boat and on the islands. We are ready to book our next trip - but only if we can have Baron!!"
A week on the Baron
"Our family/ friends (group of 9) just spent a week on the Baron for my father’s 75th birthday. WOW. It was truly a trip of a lifetime. The boat was beautifully appointed, the food was AMAZING, and the sites were gorgeous. We had some rainy days and our captain made sure we spent those days in ports that had a lot to see. We always trusted his plan and he never disappointed! He and our chef seemed to know everyone and made awesome recommendations at every stop. Our chef was super attentive and organized. Her food was INCREDIBLE. I would strongly recommend this trip to anyone considering. Thank you for a trip of a lifetime ."

We try to build the route around two main principles. The first is the profile of your group: how many hours you would like to sail each day, whether you are travelling with children, whether there are particular islands you definitely want to see, and what you generally enjoy doing - sightseeing, history, local life, swimming, snorkeling or simply spending time on the water. The second is the weather at the time of your arrival. These two things need to work together in order to create a trip that feels pleasant and relaxed rather than adventurous for the wrong reasons. Distance also comes into the equation. A successful week needs to strike a balance between many different things, not just sailing. You want time to enjoy the food, explore the islands, meet the locals, discover some history, read a book, paddleboard, snorkel, swim - or simply do absolutely nothing. All of this needs to find its place within the week. That also means having realistic expectations about how far you plan to go. We don't consider sailing endlessly just to reach another island part of the fun. Spending more hours at sea simply to tick destinations off a list can easily take away from everything else the trip has to offer. Last but not least, the yacht itself plays a role. A longer hull can generally achieve higher cruising speeds and cover distances more efficiently. Larger catamarans also place you higher above the waterline, offer more space and comfort, and can generally handle more demanding sea conditions with greater ease. So, beyond the accommodation and layout, the yacht you choose can also influence what makes sense for your itinerary. All in all, there are several things to consider when planning the week. Your group sets the priorities, your yacht helps define what is comfortable and realistic, and the weather always has the final say.
All our trips are fully customizable. There is no fixed itinerary. The final route is shaped together with you, based on your preferences (how many hours you wish to sail per day, whether you prefer sightseeing or relaxation, interest in hiking, swimming, local cuisine, etc.) and - most importantly - the weather conditions at the time of your trip. We do not pre-impose routes, nor do we force sailing long distances if conditions are unpleasant. The captain adjusts the plan daily to ensure the experience remains relaxed, safe, and enjoyable. You may also change plans during the trip and stay longer at places you enjoy.
In order to plan an accurate budget, you should consider the following costs in addition to the yacht price with crew. The figures below are based on averages we have seen from similar groups on previous charters and are intended as a realistic guide rather than fixed costs. Actual expenses will vary depending on your yacht, itinerary, preferences and the time of year you travel. * Fuel: Fuel consumption depends on the yacht, cruising distance, weather conditions and time of year. As a general guide, expect approximately 300-1000 liters, with a total cost in the region of €500-€1,900 for the week. You will receive the yacht with a full tank and refill it upon return. * End cleaning: €300, covering the preparation of the yacht, including cleaning, one set of bed linen, towels and tea towels, as well as the dinghy, outboard engine and gas bottles. * Port fees: Generally minimal, typically around €20-€50 per night, depending on the port or marina. * Crew provisioning: Approximately €25-€30 per crew member, per day for the crew's meals. * Guest provisioning: This depends entirely on your preferences and the food, beverages and alcohol you would like onboard. Your cook will organize the shopping according to your preferences so everything is ready for your arrival. All costs shown are for the entire group, not per person. Adding an additional guest after booking, provided the yacht's layout and permitted capacity allow it, does not change the weekly yacht price.
Meals are an important part of life onboard and are based around fresh, Greek and Mediterranean flavors, adapted to your group's preferences and dietary requirements. With our standard two-person crew setup (Captain and Cook/Host), the natural rhythm is breakfast followed by a substantial lunch or late lunch onboard, while evenings are a wonderful opportunity to step ashore and discover local restaurants and tavernas. One or two dinners onboard can also be arranged. On yachts operating with a three-person crew, the dining experience can be more extensive.
There really is no fixed schedule - and that is part of the experience. You may wake up in a quiet bay, have breakfast onboard and sail in the morning before stopping somewhere beautiful for swimming, paddleboarding or snorkeling. Lunch is often enjoyed onboard, followed by another short sail or time at anchor before arriving at an island later in the day. Evenings can be spent exploring ashore, having dinner in a local restaurant or simply enjoying the yacht. Some days involve more sailing, others almost none. The rhythm develops naturally around the weather, the route and what your group feels like doing.
Absolutely, but choosing the right itinerary is important. Catamarans provide generous space and a stable platform at anchor, although any yacht will move when sailing in open water. For families, younger children or guests who are particularly sensitive to motion, the Saronic Gulf is often an excellent choice because distances are shorter and the waters are generally more protected. Your captain can also adapt the route according to the conditions and your group. Children are welcome onboard and remain under their parents' supervision throughout the charter. Weather is always monitored closely, and itineraries are adapted to avoid unpleasant conditions. The objective is comfort and enjoyment, not endurance sailing.
Our charters operate on a Saturday-to-Saturday basis. On embarkation Saturday, yachts are typically ready from around 14:00 at our base in Alimos Marina, Athens. You are welcome to arrive at that time, board the yacht, and settle into your cabins. Your cook will have already arranged and purchased everything required for your meals, based on the preferences you have shared with us in advance. Everything will be onboard and ready for your arrival, so there is nothing else you need to organize. Once onboard: * The captain will welcome you and introduce the yacht. * A full safety briefing will take place. * You will discuss your preferences and possible routes based on the weather forecast. After these formalities, the trip begins immediately. Depending on your plans and weather conditions, you will usually sail for a few hours and enjoy your first swim or anchorage that very same day. On disembarkation, the yacht returns to the marina on Friday evening. You overnight onboard, and disembarkation takes place by 09:00 on Saturday morning. This timing allows the crew to properly clean, service and prepare the yacht for the next guests according to our standards.
Santorini is not realistically suited to a one-week charter from Athens. The distance requires more than long hours at sea and will quickly turn a sailing holiday into a trip focused simply on reaching one destination. This is not the nature of our trips. If Santorini is important to you, we strongly recommend spending two nights there before or after your charter. Flights from Athens take around 30-45 minutes and can often be found in the region of €80-€120, depending on dates and availability. And there is another reason we recommend experiencing Santorini this way: the real magic of Santorini is on the island, not around it. Its dramatic cliffs, villages, caldera views and sunsets are what make it exceptional. The surrounding waters are very deep, with steep and rocky coastlines, so it offers a very different experience from the bays, beaches and swimming stops that make a week by yacht so special. Our advice is simple: Santorini is absolutely worth visiting - but visit it by plane, and save your sailing week for the islands best experienced from the water. If you are chartering for two weeks, the picture changes completely. Santorini can then become part of a broader Cyclades itinerary without forcing the entire trip to revolve around getting there.
Some islands can be combined within a week; others cannot - at least not without sacrificing comfort. Mykonos and Paros are feasible from Athens within a week under favorable conditions. Santorini, Patmos, Anafi, and other southern or eastern islands are located over 180 nautical miles away and are not realistically reachable within a one-week sailing vacation without excessive daily sailing hours. For these distant islands, we strongly recommend visiting them by ferry or plane before or after your sailing trip. The true experience of a sailing vacation lies in balance, not in covering maximum miles.
Trips are weather-dependent, but this does not mean they are canceled. If strong winds or unfavorable conditions arise, the itinerary is adjusted to more protected areas. To date, we have not lost a single trip due to weather. Greece offers many alternative routes that remain beautiful and enjoyable even when conditions in one region are not ideal. Flexibility is essential and a key for a successful trip along with an elevated experience.
