SailChecker Expert View
Perfect for groups. With 5 cabins and 25 berths, Messenger is built for larger parties or corporate charters, think family reunions, sailing clubs, or team-building trips. She'll sleep the crew comfortably without breaking the bank per person.
Well-equipped cruiser. The 2010 Jeanneau 57 comes with genuinely useful kit: electric winches take the strain off crew, a bow thruster makes tight anchorages painless, and air conditioning keeps everyone happy in warmer waters. Autopilot and a generator round out the essentials for stress-free sailing.
Strong value proposition. At €10,000 per week, you're looking at roughly €400 per person for a large group, hard to beat for a fully-crewed sailing experience. The deposit sits at a reasonable €4,200, so upfront commitment is manageable.
One practical note. The charter base location isn't shown in the listing, so you'll want to confirm where Messenger operates and factor in your international arrival logistics, airport transfers and connecting flights matter when you're flying long-haul from the States or elsewhere in Europe. Once you know the base, check how easily you can get there from your nearest hub.

The marina & destination
Based at Alimos Marina, in Athens, Greece. Messenger is operated by SailWays.
Poseidonos Avenue
Alimos Marina sits just south of Athens, offering straightforward access to the Saronic Gulf's island-hopping routes; week one typically involves sailing to nearby Aegina, Poros, and Hydra, with predictable northerly winds in summer making these 15-30 nautical mile passages reliable for mixed-ability crews. The protected anchorages and short hops suit charter clients recovering from long-haul flights, while the marina's proximity to Athens airport (30 minutes by car) minimizes transfer time. Alimos itself has full facilities and is a logical base for exploring the sheltered Saronic islands before pushing further south toward the Peloponnese if conditions allow.
