Smart comfort features The water maker, air conditioning, and generator mean you're genuinely comfortable on longer passages, no rationing fresh water or sweating through Mediterranean summers. A bow thruster and electric toilet round out the modern conveniences that make extended charters stress-free.
Strong value proposition At €3,480 per week with a modest €3,500 deposit, this yacht delivers solid bang for money when split among 8, 10 people. You're getting a recent-model boat with serious cruising range and reliability.
One real consideration We don't have the charter base location listed, so confirm transfer times from your nearest international airport before booking, some Mediterranean bases are 3+ hours' drive, which matters when coordinating a large group arrival. Once you know the base, check whether Co Yacht includes provisioning or offers a skipper option, as managing a 51-footer with a full cabin list benefits from experience.

Based at Alimos Marina, in Athens, Greece. MYRDIA is operated by Co Yacht.
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.
