Perfect for groups With 5 cabins and 10 berths, Achilles is genuinely well-suited to larger family gatherings or groups of friends wanting to split costs , you'll get proper private sleeping space without cramping everyone into a floating shoebox. The 2015 build age means she's modern enough to have the comforts that matter, without excessive wear.

Smart comfort kit Solar panels, an inverter, Wi-Fi, and a bow thruster make life easier on longer cruises and when maneuvering in tight anchorages , less faffing about, more actually enjoying yourself. The electric toilet and decent refrigeration are genuinely useful touches for a 15-meter yacht.

Good value proposition At €3,000 deposit with Olympic Yachting running the show (solid 5-star rating, though only one review logged), you're looking at a reasonably equipped, spacious cruiser that should deliver decent bang-for-buck, especially if your group can fill those 10 berths. The cost per person drops significantly when divided across a bigger crew.

One real limitation The charter base location isn't listed here, which matters hugely for international travelers , you'll want to confirm how straightforward airport access is and whether flights connect easily to wherever Achilles is moored. Get that detail locked down before committing.

The marina & destination

Based at Lavrion Main Port, in Lavrion, Greece. Achilles is operated by Olympic Yachting.

Akti Papandreou Andrea

Why this is a great starting point

Lavrion is a working commercial port southeast of Athens with good road access from the capital, making it convenient for fly-in charters. From here you can reach the Saronic Gulf islands (Aegina, Poros, Hydra) within a day's sail, or head south towards the Cyclades with steady northerly winds; week one typically takes you to Kea, Kythnos, or Serifos depending on conditions. The port itself is functional rather than resort-like, but offers reasonable facilities and a practical base for exploring some of Greece's most accessible sailing grounds.

Can Achilles be rented with or without a skipper?

You can charter Achilles 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 Achilles?

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.
