About this yacht
For those of you who know your Greek mythology, you’ll know that M/S gulet Hemera was the ancient Greek primordial goddess (protogenos) of the day. Sail in Greece have just acquired their own piece of heaven in the ‘eye-catching’ form of a 30 metre long motor sailor yacht. They have justly christened her as M/S gulet Hemera.
Please inform guests, that our gulet operates only with the engine and we do not use the sails.
M/S Hemera boasts a spacious sun deck – perfect for soaking in the rays, a wide interior lounge room made cosy with cushions galore, a sumptuous dining area and an inviting bar. Once you’ve topped up your tan, move inside to mingle with other group members, play fun games or read a book from their library. With a private bar also at your disposal, these gatherings can often get quite merry as the day goes on…
The English speaking crew are there to meet your needs and ensure you all have a fabulous time. A typical example of one of their Greek captain’s is Bill ( aka “Captain Nemo”), who has spent his whole life sailing in Greece. He’s bound to have many a good story to share! And, for those of you who like to keep connected, there’s no need to feel isolated at sea… Gulet Hemera offers 3G WiFi on board too, subject to limitations.
All aboard…
We’re feeling very impressed by this goddess of a gulet, which operates exclusively on the Sail in Greece gulet cruises, and is also available for private hire if you’ve a group who’d like a tailor-made cruise in the Greek islands. All cabins are ensuite with a/c , 9 doubles( comfort at its finest!) Prices are affordable too and you can be sure this will be money well spent. Whatever you choose, M/S gulet Hemera will float you directly into the docks of Heaven, offering up an experience of a life-time, as well as a glorious suntan any Greek God would be proud of!
For each person over 16 there is a surcharge of 680€
SailChecker Expert View
Built for groups Hemera is a well-equipped 28-metre gulet that sleeps up to 18 guests across 9 cabins, making it ideal for large family gatherings, multi-couple holidays, or charter groups looking to share costs. With this many berths, you're getting serious value if you can fill the boat.
Solid cruising features The teak decking, flybridge, solar panels, and inverter show thoughtful specs for a 1996-build gulet, and the snorkeling kit plus dinghy mean you're set for exploration in Greek waters. Wi-Fi, air conditioning, and a TV suite suggest modern comfort without feeling over-engineered.
Fair weekly rate At €17,500 per week, you're looking at roughly €972 per person if fully booked, reasonable for a gulet this size with decent amenities, though you'll want to clarify what's covered (fuel, skipper, provisions) before committing. The €3,000 deposit is standard.
One practical note The base location isn't listed, so check exactly where you'll embark, Greece has multiple charter hubs (Athens airport is 2, 4 hours from many bases), and you'll want to confirm airport transfers and whether the operator handles international check-ins smoothly. A 28-metre gulet with 18 people needs good onboard logistics, so ask about crew size and meal arrangements upfront.

The marina & destination
Based at Zante, in Zakynthos , Greece. Hemera is operated by Sail in Greece adventures.
Zante Marina in Zakynthos sits at the southern gateway to the Ionian Islands, offering immediate access to close cruising grounds ideal for week one: the nearby islets of Laganas Bay, Marathonisi, and short hops north toward Kefalonia and Ithaca. The prevailing northwesterly winds typical in summer allow comfortable beam reaches toward these classic Ionian destinations, with protected anchorages and small villages within 10-20 nautical miles. Based here, you can explore Byzantine monasteries, limestone cliffs, and turtle nesting beaches while building rhythm as a crew before longer passages north.
