Yacht Charter Athens

Alimos Marina — on the Athenian Riviera just south of the city — is the largest marina in Greece and the busiest charter base in the country. It is the natural launch pad for the Saronic Gulf and, for stronger crews, the Cyclades beyond.

Why charter from Athens?

A good base saves you time, money and motoring. Alimos Marina is well-run, easy to reach, and puts the best of Saronic Gulf & Cyclades within your first day's sail — so your week is spent cruising, not commuting to the good stuff.

Getting there: fly into Athens International (ATH), about 40 minutes by taxi. We'll confirm transfer options and your check-in time when we book.

Where you'll sail from Athens

From Alimos you are in the Saronic Gulf within hours: Aegina, Poros, Hydra and Spetses make a relaxed, history-rich week with short hops and no long crossings — ideal for first-timers and families. With more time and experience, the same base opens the door to the Cyclades.

Yachts at Athens

We charter a range of monohulls and catamarans based at or near Athens — comfortable cruisers through to newer catamarans. Our website shows a selection rather than our full fleet, so tell us your dates and crew and we'll send the best available options. There's no broker fee: the base pays us, not you.
