Frequently asked questions
Why choose the Saronic Gulf for a yacht charter?
It is close to Athens, sheltered from the strongest summer winds and the crossings are short, so it suits families, first-time charterers and shorter charters.
Can I do a shorter charter in the Saronic Gulf?
Yes. Three to five nights to Aegina, Poros and Hydra are easy from Athens, which makes the Saronic Gulf popular for long weekends.
Can the itinerary be changed?
Yes. This is a sample route. Your captain adapts it to the weather and to your wishes, and stops or the start port can change depending on the yacht available.
