THE TRUE ART OF LIVING
ESPERANCE is a luxurious 55ft catamaran built by Lagoon. A model created by passionate designers for sea lovers searching for freedom. S/Y ESPERANCE features 5 cabins and accommodates 10 guests. A vessel with nothing left to chance, Lagoon has designed it in all its smallest details. You can enjoy a gentle lifestyle on board the ESPERANCE, far from the constraints of daily life.

ACCOMMODATES UP TO 10 GUESTS IN 4 DOUBLE-CABINS & 1 TWIN CONVERTIBLE TO DOUBLE, ALL EN-SUITE

Ideal for larger groups This 2024 Lagoon 55 is perfect if you're chartering with extended family or friends, ten berths across five cabins give everyone their own space without cramped shared quarters. The catamaran hull design means excellent stability and shallow draft, brilliant for exploring Greek islands and anchorages other monohulls can't reach.

Modern comfort included You're getting a brand-new build with practical amenities: full galley refrigeration, ice maker, bow thruster for easier docking, and even a TV for downtime. The snorkeling gear and hydraulic gangway show the operator thinks about passenger experience, not just bare-bones sailing.

Strong value proposition At €24,860/week for a five-cabin, ten-berth catamaran in the Greek islands, you're paying roughly €2,500 per cabin, competitive for this size and newness. The zero deposit and 5/5 operator rating (Athenian Yachts) suggest straightforward, trustworthy dealings, which matters when flying long-haul from the US or UK.

One practical note Five cabins on a 16.9m cat means some will be snug, confirm cabin layouts before booking if anyone needs privacy or space to work remotely. Also verify Athens airport transfer logistics with Athenian Yachts upfront; charter bases near Athens typically have smooth connections, but it's worth confirming before you book flights.

The marina & destination

Based at Nea Peramos, in Nea Peramos - Attica, Greece. ESPERANCE is operated by Athenian Yachts.

Why this is a great starting point

Nea Peramos lies 35km south of Athens, offering straightforward access to the central Saronic Gulf and Peloponnese. Week 1 charters typically explore nearby Hydra, Spetses, and Poros, with reliable northerly winds providing consistent sailing conditions to these island ports. The location works well for clients arriving at Athens airport who want immediate cruising without a long delivery passage.

Can ESPERANCE be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter ESPERANCE 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 ESPERANCE?

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.
