2026 Bareboat Fleet: Performance Monohulls and Luxury Catamarans
We facilitate professional bareboat charters in Greece through an extensive partner network across all major sailing hubs, including Alimos Marina (Athens), Lefkada, Corfu, Rhodes, and Kos. Our agency model provides direct access to the most reliable yachts from Europe’s leading shipyards, ensuring every vessel is technically optimized for the Mediterranean.
Monohull Inventory: Our fleet features the most popular models for the Greek islands, including the Bavaria C-Series, Beneteau Oceanis, and the Jeanneau Sun Odyssey line. The Sun Odyssey 349 is a staple for smaller crews, featuring a twin-wheel configuration and a high-performance Marc Lombard hull designed for predictable handling in Force 5 to 7 Aegean conditions. We also provide access to Dufour Grand Large yachts, selected for their balanced sail plans and ease of handling.
Catamaran Inventory: Multihull options focus on high-volume, stable platforms including the Lagoon, Fountaine Pajot, and Bali series. For skippers preferring Robertson & Caine builds, we offer Leopard catamarans, known for superior ventilation and forward cockpit access.
Technical Standards: Every yacht undergoes a rigorous 50-point systems check between charters. Local base teams verify engine hours, anchor windlass torque, and battery cycle health to ensure the vessel functions as a standalone unit.
Vessel Turnover: Fleet operators follow a strict Saturday-to-Saturday schedule. Technical handovers begin at 17:00 on embarkation day to provide ample time for the skipper’s systems walkthrough and safety briefing.
Direct Access to Bareboat Charter Bases Across Greece
Our network provides a single point of entry for the entire Greek bareboat fleet. Instead of being restricted to a single marina, you can select the specific island chain and boat model that fits your route. From the sheltered Ionian to the performance reaches of the Aegean, we secure the hardware through a verified nationwide network.
Ionian Sea (West): Departures from Lefkada and Corfu. Predictable thermal breezes and sheltered bays make this the primary choice for coastal hopping.
Saronic & Argolic Gulfs (Central): Operations from Alimos (Athens). These waters offer the most accessible Saturday turnarounds and short-haul navigation to Hydra and Spetses.
The Cyclades (Central Aegean): Technical sailing from Lavrion or Paros, prioritized for the performance conditions of the central Aegean.
The Dodecanese (East): Bases in Kos and Rhodes, offering a mix of long-range coastal sailing and remote harbors.
The Sporades (North): Operations from Skiathos and Volos, providing access to the Northern Marine Park.
Standardized Support & Logistics: Every vessel undergoes a 1-on-1 technical handover with the local base team. We vet our fleet partners specifically for vessel quality and performance of equipmeent onboard. To maximize your time at sea, we coordinate transit logs and port police documentation in advance, ensuring the vessel is ready for boarding by late Saturday afternoon.
Route Planning and Hidden Anchorages
While you maintain total command, our lead skippers provide custom digital charts highlighting secluded anchorages and local tavernas that remain off the standard tourist path. These waypoints are updated for the 2026 sailing season to account for new maritime regulations and protected marine zones (Natura 2000).
By integrating our local knowledge into your independent voyage, you gain the advantage of a guided experience while retaining the full privacy of a bareboat yacht rental. This logistical safety net allows you to focus on navigating the coastline while we handle the background coordination. Should any technical queries arise during your passage, our support team is available via mobile or VHF channel to ensure your journey maintains a professional maritime standard from start to finish.
Bareboat Fleet Logistics and Handover
Every bareboat charter in Greece begins with a comprehensive technical handover. While boat owners manage the physical maintenance, our agency coordinates every booking detail to ensure your vessel is legally and technically prepared for arrival in any major Greek port.
Departure Hubs: We offer streamlined access to vessels in Alimos (Athens), Lefkas (Lefkada), Corfu, and Kos—the primary gateways to the Ionian and Aegean seas.
Technical Handover: The base manager conducts a rigorous walkthrough of all yacht systems, including the marine engine, DC/AC electrical panels, and safety equipment. This briefing ensures the skipper understands the specific nuances of the vessel before clearing the harbor.
Ground Tackle: We prioritize fleets with good windlasses and anchors suited for the varied Greek seabed. Most vessels carry 60 meters of galvanized chain, the standard for secure anchoring in the 5 to 10-meter depth range.
Administrative Clearance: To expedite the Saturday turnover, we submit your crew list and sailing credentials to the Greek Port Police in advance. This allows for a clean departure by late afternoon with a boat that is technically sound and legally cleared.
Financial Structure: Mandatory cleaning fees and optional equipment (outboard motors, paddleboards) are handled directly at the base during check-in. Regarding hull security, most operators provide a choice between a refundable security deposit or a non-refundable damage waiver, allowing you to manage risk according to your crew’s budget.
