Overview

Why charter a superyacht in Athens & Saronic Gulf?

Athens, the cradle of Western civilisation, serves as one of Greece's premier superyacht embarkation points. Flisvos Marina and Zea Marina in Piraeus offer excellent superyacht facilities, with the Acropolis visible from your deck. The city's gastronomy, nightlife, and cultural offerings are world-class.

The Saronic Gulf, the body of water between Athens and the Peloponnese, contains some of Greece's most charming islands: the car-free artist colony of Hydra, the pine-forested Spetses, the pistachio-growing Aegina, and the ancient theatre of Epidaurus. Close to Athens yet remarkably peaceful, the Saronic is ideal for shorter charters.
