The charter fee covers the yacht, standard equipment, and insurance. Cleaning, tourist tax, and any optional extras (skipper, paddle board, etc.) are billed at the base — we confirm the full breakdown when you request a quote.
Charter pricing is famously opaque. Here's everything the operator will charge — mandatory items paid at the base, plus optional add-ons you can opt into.
Who it suits Athena works brilliantly for small groups or families of 4, 6 wanting genuine sailing without breaking the bank. At 14.1 metres with three cabins, she's intimate enough to feel personal but spacious enough that you won't feel cramped.
Standout features The teak deck, water maker, and solar panels show real thought for longer cruises, you'll have fresh water and power independence that matter in remote anchorages. Throw in a dinghy, snorkeling kit, and autopilot, and you've got everything for a proper self-sufficient week without unnecessary frills.
Value for money At €7,310 per week with a modest €4,000 deposit, this is genuinely fair pricing for a well-equipped 2019 boat in this size bracket. You're paying for capability, not flashiness, which appeals to sailors who actually want to *sail* rather than float.

Olympic Marina in Lavrion sits at the southern gateway to the Saronic Gulf, giving you immediate access to the Cyclades and the sheltered island-hopping routes of the Aegean. From here, week 1 typically involves sailing southeast towards Hydra, Spetses, and Poros, with established anchorages and steady northerly winds that suit most abilities. The marina's location 45 minutes from Athens airport and proximity to less-crowded alternatives to Mykonos and Santorini makes it ideal if you want Aegean cruising without the weekend crowds of central charter bases.
