23 years old. Yachts of this age statistically need more in-charter maintenance attention — ask the operator for the recent service log when you enquire, and budget a small contingency for niggles (a stuck winch, a tired bilge pump). On a well-cared-for boat this is usually just part of the rhythm of charter; on a neglected one, it can spoil a week.
Who This Suits. This 37-footer works well for small groups or families after a straightforward sailing holiday in Greek waters without breaking the bank. At 11 metres, she's manageable for couples with sailing experience and compact enough to handle Athenian Yachts' local cruising grounds comfortably.
What Stands Out. A 2003 Sun Odyssey is a proven workboat with solid build quality; the three-cabin layout gives you proper sleeping separation rather than everyone packed together. Alimos Marina sits just outside Athens, so you're roughly 30 minutes from the airport with decent road access for international arrivals.
Value For Money. At around 1,640 euros per week, this is genuine value for the Saronic region; you're not paying premium rates for an older boat, and a 500-euro deposit is reasonable. The weekly cost works out to roughly 235 pounds, making it competitive for Mediterranean sailing in peak season.
The Honest Caveat. At 21 years old, NAIAS will have wear and tear that won't match younger charter fleets; you should confirm what engine servicing and systems checks have been done recently. Budget expectations matter here; this is solid value rather than a showpiece boat, so check the inventory and condition photos carefully before committing.

Based at Alimos Marina, Greece. NAIAS is operated by Athenian Yachts.
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.
