The sailing area met my expectations. Nice little harbors, very beautiful bays for swimming and anchoring.

Distances between the islands are significant (between 25 and 40 minutes). The coasts of the islands are very arid.

Lots of great places to visit.. but very busy even at end of September either leave early in the morning and probably don't sail.. and get a spot. Alternatively leave later, enjoy the afternoon breeze but you have to get creative with the parking

We loved the southern Cyclades - we spent four out of our five nights very happily at anchor and our one night in port (Katapola on Amorgos) was great too. Particular restaurant highlights were Omega 3 on Sifnos (stunning food and location), and Youlaki on Amorgos. Our favourite anchorage, which we returned to for a second night, was on Livardi Bay on Schinoussa - the steep walk up to the village is well worth it for a lovely drink with gorgeous view of the bay at sunset, and three good food shops (we didn't eat in any restaurants there). Would definitely recommend this sailing area, but not for first-timers as it can be pretty windy and rough. We love fishing and were lucky enough to catch our first ever Mediterranean fish - a Bullet Tuna which was absolutely delicious!

The small town of Vonitsa in the Ambracian Gulf is really worth seeing and is particularly suitable for a stay on the day of return because Preveza is not far away. If there is a lot of wind, it will probably be rough outside the breakwater but not dangerous. We also liked the Ormus Vlychon bay on Lefkas (Meganisi is great anyway).
Das Städtchen Vonitsa im Ambrakischen Golf ist echt sehenswert und eignet sich besonders für einen Aufenthalt am Tag der Rückgabe, weil Preveza nicht weit ist. Bei viel Wind liegt man außerhalb des Wellenbrechers vermutlich unruhig aber nicht gefährlich. Gefallen hat uns auch die Bucht Ormus Vlychon auf Lefkas (Meganisi ist sowieso toll).

Renting a catamaran in Greece

Greece, home to a labyrinth of islands scattered across the Aegean and Ionian Seas, beckons both seasoned sailors and sun-seeking travelers to embark on an unforgettable catamaran experience. Whether you're a sailing enthusiast or just someone in pursuit of leisure, chartering a catamaran in Greece opens doors to a world of possibilities, letting you explore hidden coves, historical marvels, and pristine beaches at your own pace. This guide is your companion on a journey through the enchanting waters of Greece, shedding light on catamaran rentals, costs, licensing requirements, and the joy of island hopping in a catamaran that promises comfort and stability.

Discovering Greek islands by catamaran

The allure of Greek islands has captivated generations of sailors and wanderers. With charming coastal towns, archaeological wonders, and beaches that seem like a slice of paradise, Greece promises a blend of adventure and relaxation. Chartering a catamaran in this picturesque setting elevates the experience, offering not just the freedom to follow well-trodden routes but also the chance to unveil hidden gems off the tourist trail.

The shallow draft of catamarans becomes a unique advantage, allowing sailors to reach secluded coves and quiet beaches where crystal-clear waters meet pristine sands. Away from the hustle and bustle, anchor in serenity and create memories against the backdrop of the Aegean Sea. The comfort and stability of a catamaran add a layer of luxury to your island-hopping escapade.

For those passionate about sailing, Greece provides the opportunity to charter not only catamarans but also traditional sailboats. Whether you lean towards the modernity of a catamaran or the classic allure of a sailboat depends on your preferences, experience, and the kind of journey you envision. Whichever vessel you choose, Greece promises a maritime adventure like no other.

How much does it cost to rent a catamaran in Greece?

The charm of catamaran charters in Greece is complemented by their flexibility in terms of duration and pricing. Whether you're planning a day trip or a week-long journey, catamaran rentals in Greece cater to diverse preferences.

On average, the standard price for catamarans in Greece hovers around €480 per day, with a typical size of 12 meters. This average cost provides a baseline, but the actual prices can fluctuate based on factors like rental location, vessel specifications, and the time of year. During high-demand periods or peak seasons, prices might surge to several thousand euros per day.

If you're traveling with friends or family, the roomy layout of catamarans becomes a key advantage. Ample deck space and comfortable cabins ensure everyone on board has their own corner of tranquility. The shared experience of sailing through the Greek islands creates a bond that transcends the ordinary, making the cost of a catamaran charter a worthwhile investment in shared memories.

However, it's crucial to consider additional expenses, especially if you lack sailing experience or the necessary qualifications. In such cases, opting for a captained catamaran becomes a prudent choice, albeit with an extra cost. The captain not only navigates the waters but also shares local insights, transforming your journey into a stress-free and educational experience.

Do you need a license to rent a catamaran in Greece?

The prospect of chartering a catamaran in Greece is thrilling but comes with prerequisites, especially for those eyeing a bareboat charter. A valid sailing license and a detailed nautical CV are integral components of the rental process.

The sailing license attests to your competence in navigating a catamaran, ensuring the safety of both passengers and the vessel. Additionally, a nautical CV provides a comprehensive overview of your previous sailing experiences, detailing the types of boats you've sailed and the waters you've explored.

For those without a license or sailing experience, the option of renting a captained catamaran is a welcome alternative. This not only sidesteps the licensing requirement but also grants you the luxury of having an experienced captain at the helm. The captain ensures a smooth sailing experience and serves as a local guide, introducing you to hidden gems and lesser-known corners of the Greek archipelago.

Conclusion

Chartering a catamaran in Greece transcends the typical vacation—it's an immersion into the timeless allure of the Aegean and Ionian Seas. From the vibrant culture of coastal towns to the serenity of hidden coves, every moment on a catamaran becomes an unforgettable journey.

The flexibility to choose between bareboat and captained charters, coupled with the ability to explore at your own pace, makes Greece an unparalleled destination for catamaran enthusiasts.
