Athens Riviera Catamaran Half Day or Full Day Cruise

Exclusive Access to the Athenian Coastline

When you want the Athens Riviera entirely to yourselves, our private catamaran charter is the way to go. No sharing with other groups, no fixed itinerary, just you, your guests, a professional crew, and one of the most beautiful coastlines in the Mediterranean. The boat is yours from departure until return, and the captain responds to your preferences and mood rather than adhering to a predetermined schedule.

The Freedom of Private Sailing

Want to linger at that perfect swimming spot for an extra hour? Done. Want to skip ahead and sail further south toward Cape Sounion? No problem. Want to anchor in a bay and have the crew set up paddleboards while you nap? Absolutely. Your skipper is your guide, and the day unfolds according to your mood, the weather, and however many times you want to jump off the back of the boat. This flexibility is the defining advantage of a private charter, you control the itinerary.

Half Day Option (5 Hours)

Choose morning (10:00 AM to 3:00 PM) or afternoon (3:30 PM to 8:30 PM). The morning option lets you start your day with a long sail, two swimming stops, and lunch aboard, leaving you the evening free. The afternoon option positions you for a sunset sail, with the boat anchoring as the light turns golden. Both options cover the core Riviera highlights, Vouliagmeni’s sheltered bays, the dramatic Limanakia coves, and the protected waters off Varkiza where visibility is exceptional.

Full Day Option (8 Hours)

The full-day charter opens up a much wider range of coastline and island-hopping possibilities. You begin with the Riviera highlights, but continue past Varkiza toward Cape Sounion, accessing remote coves not visited on the half-day trips. The boat might stop at the secluded waters off Fleves island, known for pristine sandy beaches and calm conditions. A full breakfast is served in the morning, a substantial Greek lunch at midday, and light snacks and drinks in the late afternoon. You return to Glyfada Marina around sunset, having covered 30 to 40 kilometres of coastline and visited four to five distinct swimming locations.

Unique Features of Private Catamarans

Private catamarans offer several advantages over shared boats: they’re more stable in choppy seas, they sail under both engines and wind power depending on conditions, and they have a distinctive character that guests find appealing. The forward trampoline is perfect for lounging and sunbathing, and the dual hulls create less sway than monohull yachts. Catamarans are also more eco-friendly, using less fuel when sailing under wind power. The spacious cockpit and saloon give you ample room for meals, conversations, and flexibility in how you arrange your day.

Seasonal Variations and What Changes

May and early June offer cool mornings and warm afternoons, perfect for sailing without excess heat. July and August are warm but sometimes windy, requiring more active sailing decisions. September and October return to ideal conditions with warm days, calm seas, and beautiful light. Winter months are possible but require waterproof gear and comfort with cooler temperatures. Spring offers wild beauty, fewer boats, dramatic weather patterns, and a sense of genuine adventure. The four-hour morning sail works well for those who want a taste without full-day commitment. The full-day charter allows for two separate destinations and more extensive swimming and snorkelling.

The chef prepares fresh lunch while you swim, using ingredients sourced that morning from local markets. The crew member manages snorkelling equipment, handles safety protocols, and serves meals with professional attentiveness. Many guests mention that the crew’s genuine friendliness, without being intrusive, makes them feel genuinely looked after rather than served.

Why Choose Private

The gorgeous of not sharing your boat with other groups cannot be overstated. Conversations flow more easily when you are not managing noise levels or sharing deck space. Children and elderly guests are more comfortable with private charters because the pace and activities are entirely adjusted to their needs.
