The charter fee covers the yacht, standard equipment, and insurance. Cleaning, tourist tax, and any optional extras (skipper, paddle board, etc.) are billed at the base — we confirm the full breakdown when you request a quote.
Charter pricing is famously opaque. Here's everything the operator will charge — mandatory items paid at the base, plus optional add-ons you can opt into.
Ideal for families The Lagoon 52F is a brilliant choice for families or groups of up to 8 who want comfort without sacrifice. The four-cabin layout and catamaran stability make it forgiving for less experienced sailors, and the generous deck space keeps everyone happy in various moods and weather.
Standout features A 2019 build means modern systems and reliability, air conditioning, Wi-Fi, and a generator are genuine conveniences on a week-long charter. The snorkeling gear and SUP boards are a nice touch for Mediterranean or Caribbean exploration, and the catamaran design delivers a very steady platform for relaxation.
Solid value proposition At €22,400 per week (roughly £19,000 or $24,000), you're paying for newer build quality and dual-hull comfort rather than a bargain. For a 52-footer sleeping 8, that's reasonable in the luxury catamaran market, and the zero deposit removes friction, though always confirm cancellation terms with Istion before booking.
One honest note We don't have the charter base location listed, which matters significantly for flight logistics if you're traveling from the US or northern Europe. Before committing, confirm the base with Istion and check flight times; some Mediterranean and Caribbean bases involve longer ground transfers than others.

Based at Alimos Marina, in Athens, Greece. SUMMER STAR is operated by Istion Luxury Yachts.
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.
