Who It Suits. This 2023 Lagoon 40 works well for groups of six to ten wanting a stable, easy-to-handle multihull; the extra width and shallow draft make it forgiving for less experienced sailors, and the four cabins split a charter cost nicely across friends or families.
What Stands Out. A brand-new Lagoon catamaran gives you reliable systems and modern comfort without surprises; the Sporades Islands base near Neo Klima is a straightforward sail from Athens airport (roughly 90 minutes overland to the port), and Athenian Yachts has a solid local reputation for support.
Value For Money. At €3720 per week you are paying fair rates for a nearly-new cat in Greece; the €1000 deposit is reasonable, and the 11-berth capacity means per-person costs drop significantly if you fill it.
One Thing To Note. The Lagoon 40 is comfortable but not spacious for a full 11 people; cabin and galley space will feel snug if all berths are occupied, so aim for eight to nine guests if you value breathing room and a relaxed week.

Based at Neo Klima, Greece. ELIA is operated by Athenian Yachts.
Neo Klima marina in Elios sits on the northwest coast of Skopelos in the Sporades, offering straightforward access to the central Aegean's most protected sailing grounds. Week 1 typically involves island-hopping through the Sporades cluster (Skopelos, Skiathos, Alonissos) with short day sails of 10-20 nautical miles, light northerly winds, and good holding in sandy anchorages; the Pelion Peninsula lies within easy reach to the west if conditions allow. The marina works well for first-time Greek charterers because the enclosed waters keep sea states moderate and the islands offer consistent provisioning and shelter.
