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.
Ideal for active sailors This 2020 XP 44 is a cracking choice if you want a modern, well-equipped boat that actually sails well rather than just floating around. The shallow draft and responsive design make her brilliant for exploring shallow anchorages and sailing in varied conditions without needing heavy weather experience.
Standout features shine She's genuinely well-equipped: teak cockpit, sprayhood, and bimini mean real comfort while underway, plus snorkeling gear and electric toilet take the hassle out of cruising. The chart plotter is standard these days, but the thoughtful touches (coffee maker, proper cushions, refrigerator) suggest an operator who understands what makes charter time enjoyable.
Good value proposition At €7,180 per week with a modest €4,000 deposit, this sits in a sensible mid-range for a modern three-cabin sailboat in decent condition. You're paying for a boat that will perform, not just accommodate bodies, which matters if sailing quality matters to you.
One honest caveat The charter base location isn't listed, which is frustrating, you'll need to confirm how accessible it is from major European airports before committing. If it's in a remote charter base requiring a long transfer, factor that into your travel logistics and fatigue before your sailing week begins.

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.
