What KateBot thinksStrengths and trade-offs
Ideal for families The Sun Odyssey 440 is a brilliant choice if you're chartering with kids or a larger group, 10 berths across 4 cabins means everyone gets comfortable sleeping space without feeling cramped. The teak cockpit, bimini, and sprayhood make lounging on deck genuinely pleasant during Greek island sailing.
Well-equipped modern boat Built in 2022, ORFEAS comes with thoughtful kit: bow thruster and autopilot take the stress out of tight anchorages, solar panels keep batteries topped up, and the snorkeling gear is ready to go. You're not sailing a bare-bones rental, this yacht feels genuinely finished and cared for.
Strong value proposition At €4,192 per week, you're paying a fair rate for a newer, spacious 40-footer with serious amenities and an operator boasting a perfect 5-star rating. The Athenian Yachts team knows what they're doing, which matters when you're flying 6+ hours from home.
One practical note The base location isn't specified in the listing, so confirm it's in the Athens area before booking, most likely Lavrio or Alimos, to factor in airport transfer time from Athens airport (1, 1.5 hours typically). Worth checking whether the operator handles transfers or if you're arranging your own.
