THE TRUE ART OF LIVING
S/Y HAPPY is a luxurious 55ft catamaran built by Lagoon. A model created by passionate designers for sea lovers searching for freedom. S/Y HAPPY features 4 cabins and accommodates 8 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 HAPPY, far from the constraints of daily life.

Who it suits This new Lagoon 55 is ideal for families or groups of 6, 8 seeking bareboat or skippered comfort in Greek waters without breaking the bank. The 2024 build means everything is fresh, reliable, and low-maintenance, perfect if you're flying in from North America or Northern Europe and want peace of mind.

Standout features You're getting a genuinely modern catamaran with excellent cruising infrastructure: water maker, generator, and Wi-Fi mean you can stay connected and independent for a week. The snorkeling kit, dinghy, and bimini are all included, no nickel-and-diming, and Athenian Yachts' 5-star rating (8 reviews) suggests serious attention to service.

Value assessment At €23,430 per week, this is fair value for a brand-new 16.9m catamaran with four cabins and full amenities. Zero deposit is a genuine plus if you're chartering from abroad and don't want to tie up funds before arrival.

One honest note The base location isn't listed in your details, check whether it's Athens, the islands, or elsewhere, as that will shape your flight connections and opening-week logistics from your home country.

The marina & destination

Based at Alimos Marina, in Athens, Greece. HAPPY is operated by Athenian Yachts.

Poseidonos Avenue

Why this is a great starting point

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.

Can HAPPY be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter HAPPY 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 HAPPY?

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.
