GREECE CATAMARANS & YACHT CHARTER VACATIONS
Large sailing catamarans are becoming more popular for cruising the Greek islands. Their wide beam makes them very stable during the high July and August winds, and their easy access into the water from the transom make a cat an ideal choice. Sailing cats have become larger in recent years and offer every luxury, including being able to tuck away into the rocky shoreline of Greece to visit small villages and eat in their tavernas. Catamarans are available throughout the Greek coats and islands offshore.
Catamarans are a relatively new development in yacht design and seem ideally suited to the chartering industry. With very equal accommodations, large and airy deck salons, and huge cockpits for outdoor living, the Greek Islands are second only to the Caribbean in the number and type of catamarans available for charter.
In Greece, you will find catamarans available from ones with just a Captain, where you do all the cooking and cleaning up yourself, or fully crewed yachts that offer tremendous service and full amenities.
Many cats base in the public marinas that are near Athens airport, a great jumping off spot to get away from the city and into quiet harbours with small fishing villages. You can never get far from seafood in Greece!
Other sailing catamarans are based in the Ionians or Cyclades so that you can take your charter into areas that are too distant for a week-long charter holiday. Because cats are shallow draft vessels, they are perfect for anchoring close up to the beach or even right next to dramatic rocky cliffs found along some of the shoreline.
Catamarans are wide which makes them comfortable and stable at anchor. Plus with their scoop sterns, you are just a step away from that inviting crystal clear water.
The newer catamarans have full amenities, things like generators, A/C, full media centers, luxurious ensuite baths (called ‘heads’), and crew to make sure that all runs smoothly.
Yachts in this part of the world charter charge at a base rate, which covers the yacht and crew and their cost; all other expenses like fuel, food, and beverages are additional. You set the pace and your requirements, you are sure to be pleased with the results.
