This yacht features brand‑new sails (2026), offering a premium sailing experience. Spring ’26 Offer: up to 50% off for departures through Saturday, 25 April 2026. Limited availability.

Ideal for groups This 56-footer sleeps up to 12 across five cabins, making it a smart pick for families or friends wanting to split costs on a week-long adventure. At €3,290 per week, the per-person outlay becomes genuinely affordable when you're dividing it among several people.

Solid cruising kit She's got the essentials sorted: autopilot and bow thruster make handling easier, air conditioning keeps things comfortable in warm climates, and the teak deck feels right underfoot. A bimini overhead is a real bonus for protecting the cockpit from sun during long passages or lazy anchorages.

Good value proposition For a 2007 18-metre sailing yacht with five cabins and modern conveniences like heating and air con, the weekly rate is competitive. You're getting a well-equipped vessel without paying five-star pricing, though the €4,200 security deposit is fairly standard for a boat this size.

One note on age At 17 years old, Alexandria is mature but not ancient, however, if your group includes sailors wanting cutting-edge technology or brand-new systems, a newer build might feel fresher. Charter directly through SailWays and clarify their recent refit history to understand what's been refreshed lately.

The marina & destination

Based at Alimos Marina, in Athens, Greece. Alexandria is operated by SailWays.

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 Alexandria be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Alexandria 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 Alexandria?

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.
