16 years old. Yachts of this age statistically need more in-charter maintenance attention — ask the operator for the recent service log when you enquire, and budget a small contingency for niggles (a stuck winch, a tired bilge pump). On a well-cared-for boat this is usually just part of the rhythm of charter; on a neglected one, it can spoil a week.
Who it suits: This Lagoon 500 is ideal for larger groups or families wanting comfort over pure sailing challenge, seven cabins sleep up to 12, so it handles multi-generational trips or friends splitting costs. The 2021 refit, A/C, and generator mean everyone stays comfortable even in hot climates.
Standout features: You're getting serious cruising kit here: radar, chart plotter, autopilot, and solar panels plus generator backup keep things reliable on longer passages. The swimming platform, snorkeling gear, and dinghy transform it into a proper floating resort for Caribbean or Mediterranean exploration, not just a sailing platform.
Value for money: At 15.5 metres with seven cabins, the per-person cost drops significantly for larger groups, this is genuinely smart economics for a family holiday or friends' adventure. The recent refit and comprehensive equipment list (lazy bag, sprayhood, bimini) suggest DMS maintains their fleet well, which protects your charter experience.
One honest note: The 2010 hull is older, so despite the 2021 refit, you're chartering mature engineering, nothing wrong with that, but newer builds offer slightly more reliability margin. Also, confirm with DMS exactly what the refit covered (engine overhaul, through-hulls, rigging?) so there are no surprises on the water.

Based at Alimos Marina, in Athens, Greece. The Full House - (A/C - Generator - Refit 2021) is operated by DMS Sailing Charter.
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.
Sea above 20°C is comfortable swimming · above 22°C is full-summer · below 18°C feels brisk.
