Cabin charter (book a single cabin) is not offered for this yacht.

Who It Suits. This 51-footer works well for larger groups or families wanting comfortable shared space without cramped quarters; the five cabins and 10-berth capacity mean you're not treading on each other's toes. It's also ideal if anyone in your party prefers catamaran stability over a monohull, especially in variable Aegean conditions.

Standout Features. A brand-new 2026 build means everything is current and reliable, which cuts down on unexpected hassles during your week. The Lagoon 51 is known for good beam and generous cabin layouts for a catamaran, plus the shallow draft is handy for exploring Greece's less-crowded anchorages and small ports.

Value For Money. At €17,500 per week, this sits comfortably mid-range for a five-cabin catamaran in the Mediterranean; you're paying a modest premium for the new-build guarantee and the flexibility of a larger group boat. Porto Cheli is straightforward from major European hubs, with Athens about 90 minutes away, so no unusual logistics.

One Honest Caveat. Catamarans at this size can feel less "connected" to the sailing experience than smaller monohulls, and they're noticeably wider in tight anchorages; if nimble, spirited sailing is your priority, a smaller or more traditional hull might suit you better.

Based at Porto Heli, Greece. ELOYA RAY is operated by Sea Alliance Group.

Why this is a great starting point

Porto Cheli sits on the Peloponnese coast with excellent access to the Saronic Gulf's protected island-hopping grounds; week one typically reaches Hydra, Spetses, and Dokos with short day sails in moderate conditions. The marina works well for boats heading into the deeper Aegean towards the Cyclades, though most charters explore the sheltered bays and anchorages within 20 nautical miles. Prevailing northerlies in summer make departures south straightforward, and you'll find consistent daily wind patterns suitable for newer sailors.

Prime Shoulder Off-season

Sea above 20°C is comfortable swimming · above 22°C is full-summer · below 18°C feels brisk.

A starting point, not a script — pick one as a template and we'll tailor the dates, stops, and pace to your crew.

Saronic Gulf 7 days · ~120 nm · 5 stops

Short legs, reliable wind, history at every stop. Best first-charter route in Greece.

1 Athens (Alimos)

The main Saronic charter base; 25 minutes from the airport.

2 Aegina

Easy first-day sail; try the pistachios. Anchor at Perdika.

3 Poros

Narrow channel between island and mainland; charming town quay.

4 Hydra

No cars on the island. Tie alongside the working harbour for the evening.

5 Spetses

Old shipbuilding island, elegant. Old harbour is the spot.

Cyclades 7-10 days · ~180 nm · 5 stops

Meltemi wind July-August. Plan for one weather day — and book the marina in advance for the islands you do not want to miss.

1 Athens

Departure. Check the wind forecast and consider clockwise vs counter-clockwise.

2 Kea

Sheltered bays on the south side; first-night-out easy.

3 Paros

Naoussa for the small-village vibe; Parikia if you need provisions.

4 Naxos

The biggest island in the Cyclades. Mountain villages worth a hire-car day.

5 Mykonos

Tie alongside in the new marina; the old town quays are for tourist boats.

Ionian 7 days · ~120 nm · 4 stops

Light, predictable winds. Easiest sailing in Greece — most-loved by families and first-timers stepping up.

1 Lefkas

Charter base. Provision in the town; the bridge opens on the hour.

2 Meganisi

Vathy or Spartochori; both have quayside tavernas with welcome moorings.

3 Ithaca

Vathi harbour for the night, then to Frikes for the quiet morning.

4 Kefalonia

Fiskardo is the postcard town. Book the quay.

Can ELOYA RAY be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter ELOYA RAY bareboat (you skipper) if you hold the relevant sailing licence, or hire a professional skipper alongside the yacht. The choice is yours when you request the quote.

What sailing licence do I need to charter ELOYA RAY ?

Bareboat charter typically requires a recognised sailing licence (RYA Day Skipper, ICC, ASA, or equivalent) plus a VHF radio licence. The exact requirements depend on the country of charter — we confirm with the operator when you enquire.

What's included in the charter price?

The charter fee covers the yacht, standard equipment, and insurance for the dates booked. Tourist tax, transit log (final cleaning + bed linen), fuel, food, marina fees during the trip, and any optional extras (skipper, paddle board, etc.) are normally extra and paid at the base.

What additional costs should I expect at the base?

Typical mandatory extras are the transit log (often €200–€350), tourist tax (a small per-person-per-day fee), and a refundable security deposit (often €1,500–€5,000 depending on the yacht). Optional extras like a skipper, hostess, paddle board, or early check-in are listed on the quote.

How does the security deposit work?

The deposit is held by the operator at check-in (usually card pre-authorisation) and refunded after check-out if the yacht is returned without damage. Many operators offer a deposit-waiver insurance product that reduces the held amount in exchange for a smaller non-refundable premium.

Can I cancel my charter booking?

Cancellation terms vary by operator. Most allow cancellation with a full refund if requested more than 60–90 days before the start date, with progressive penalties closer to departure. Some operators offer a flexible-cancellation insurance product when you book.

Is the yacht insured?

Yes — every yacht is insured by the operator against damage and third-party liability. The insurance covers the yacht itself; personal effects and trip cancellation are not covered and are worth insuring separately.

What documents do I need to bring?

You'll need your passport, sailing licence (if chartering bareboat), VHF radio licence, and proof of payment. The operator will send a check-in form ahead of time covering crew details and any special requests.

What payment methods are accepted?

Charter fees are normally paid by bank transfer in advance (often a 50% deposit at booking, balance 30 days before charter). On-base extras are usually paid by card or in cash.

Bareboat or skippered — which suits our crew?

Bareboat is for crews with at least one experienced skipper (RYA Day Skipper / ICC level) plus a co-skipper, and a track record of similar passages. Skippered charters add a professional skipper for typically £150–£250 per day — recommended if anyone in your group is light on Mediterranean experience, if you want a relaxed week without responsibility, or if the area is new to you. You can also hire a hostess (cook + cabin help) on top.

Can we sail to a neighbouring country during the charter?

Sometimes, with the operator's written consent and the right paperwork. Common cross-borders: Croatia → Montenegro, Greece → Turkey, BVI → USVI. Most operators charge a one-off cruising-permit fee (typically €100–€300) and need 4–8 weeks' notice. Tell us at quote time and we'll arrange it — spontaneous border-crossing during the trip usually isn't allowed.

Do I need travel insurance on top of the charter insurance?

Yes. The yacht is insured by the operator for damage and third-party liability, but that doesn't cover you. Charter cancellation insurance (typically 4–5% of the charter fee) covers you if you have to cancel last-minute; standard travel insurance covers medical, flight, and personal-effects loss. We can recommend a UK broker that bundles both.

What happens if there's bad weather on the day?

For day-to-day weather you'll plan the week to avoid the worst — the Adriatic and Aegean have very predictable wind patterns. If a serious storm makes the start-day handover impossible, the operator delays check-in until conditions improve and refunds any lost days. The yacht itself is insured against weather damage, so you're not exposed.

Can I hold this yacht while I decide?

Yes — an option holds the yacht in your name for typically 48–72 hours at no cost. Useful if you're waiting on the rest of the crew to confirm, comparing it against another yacht, or sorting flights. Ask us when you enquire and we'll arrange the option with the operator.

We'll check live availability, apply any discounts, and come back within hours.
