What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
Perfect for families FILIPPOS III is an excellent choice if you're chartering with a group or extended family, four cabins and eight berths give everyone their own space without feeling cramped on a catamaran this size. The 2024 build means everything is modern and reliable, which matters when flying from the US, UK, or Europe to Greece.
Smart, well-equipped setup This boat has the essentials you'd want: solar panels and an inverter keep power flowing, snorkeling gear is included for exploring Greek waters, and the electric winches make sailing genuinely easy for mixed-ability crews. The lazy jack and bimini show the operator understands what makes bareboat life comfortable in the Mediterranean sun.
Solid value proposition At roughly €4,400 per week with a small €1,000 deposit, you're getting a brand-new catamaran with decent kit at a fair rate for the Aegean. Athenian Yachts' perfect 5/5 rating across eight reviews suggests they run a tight ship and handle international clients smoothly.
One honest note At 11.8 meters, this is genuinely compact, handy for maneuverability and lower costs, but four cabins means tight quarters if you're six or eight people used to sprawling around. It's perfect for active sailing holidays; less ideal if anyone in your group prefers a lot of personal space.
