A Decade of Greek Catamaran Charter
Twelve seasons. 29 catamarans. Eleven marinas. One promise — every charter sailed by a professional captain who knows these waters by heart.
Built one charter at a time, since 2014.
Athena Catamarans started with a single sailing catamaran, a captain, and a frustration with charter operators who treated every booking like an interchangeable transaction. We thought there was a better version — one where the boat, the route, and the crew were chosen for the people on board, not the other way around.
Twelve seasons on, the model is the same — just at a different scale. We operate 29 catamarans across the Aegean and Ionian, partnered with shipyards we trust and yacht owners who hold their boats to our standard. Charterers from more than forty countries trust us with their once-a-year holiday.
We don't run a discount fleet. We don't take walk-up bookings without a contract. Every charter starts with a real conversation about what you actually want from your week.
Four principles, no exceptions
These aren't taglines — they're the rules by which we'll cancel a booking before we'll break them.
Hospitality, Greek-style
Our crews aren't service staff playing a role — they live in these islands and treat every charterer as a guest in their own home.
Transparency in writing
Every quote is itemised. Every charter contract spells out the cancellation terms in plain English. No fine print, no surprise fees at the marina.
A fleet you can trust
We know which boats are well-built and which aren't. Every catamaran is maintained to the standard required by Greek charter law and our own internal checks.
Local routing, real captains
Our captains know Greek waters. The anchorages they recommend aren't from tourist guides — they're the bays locals actually use.
A milestone history
Founded in Athens
Athena Catamarans launches with a simple promise: chartering should feel curated, not transactional.
Ionian base opens
We add a Lefkada base to serve the growing Ionian charter market and bring more catamarans into the fleet.
First flagship crewed yacht
Our luxury crewed flagship joins the fleet. Fully crewed all-inclusive charters become a permanent service line.
Aegean expansion
Charter operations extend into the Cyclades and Saronic Gulf with new departure bases beyond the Ionian.
Decade milestone
A decade of operation. Partnerships in place with the world's leading catamaran shipyards.
Twelfth charter season
Fleet reaches 29 hand-picked catamarans across 11 marinas. Every charter still sailed by a professional captain — that part hasn't changed.
Three ways to charter
From a 40 ft skippered Lagoon for a family of six to a 76 ft luxury crewed flagship for ten.
Skippered Charters
A professional captain handles all sailing while you and your group enjoy the journey. No license required from you. Our most-booked option for families and groups of 6–10.
Learn moreLuxury Crewed Yachts
Captain, hostess and chef onboard. Gourmet meals, premium beverages, water toys, all-inclusive. Three flagship vessels (Sameli, D2, Evita) in Athens, Greek Islands.
Learn moreBespoke Voyages
Honeymoons, weddings at sea, milestone birthdays, corporate retreats, multi-yacht flotillas. We design routes, crew arrangements and itineraries from scratch.
Learn moreOperating standards
The unsexy but important parts. Insurance, certifications, maintenance, sustainability.
Insurance
Every vessel carries the insurance required to operate as a Greek charter yacht — hull, third-party liability and protection cover, all kept current and renewed annually.
Professional captains
Charters are sailed by licensed captains with deep experience of Greek waters. The captain you sail with is one we've worked with personally.
Maintained to standard
Boats are inspected before every charter, serviced between charter weeks, and have an independent technician on call across the bases we operate from.
Licensed operator
Greek Ministry of Tourism (MHTE) registered charter operator. Every booking issues a charter contract under Greek law with EU consumer protections.
Multilingual support
Charter team and captains communicate fluently in English, with additional languages available depending on the captain assigned.
Responsible sailing
We use designated mooring facilities, avoid anchoring on protected seagrass, and reduce single-use plastics on board wherever possible.

Two hulls, more boat per metre
A catamaran isn't a luxury upgrade over a monohull — for most charterers it's the right tool.
Stability & comfort
Twin hulls mean almost no heel — you can pour a glass of wine under sail without spilling.
Spacious living
Larger cockpit, bigger saloon, double the deck space versus a monohull of similar length.
Shallow draft
1.0–1.4 m draft lets us anchor in bays a 50-foot monohull could never reach.
Privacy
Cabins separated across two hulls — couples and families both get their own space.
"The boats matter, but the captain matters more — and we choose people who actually know the waters they sail."
Authorised charter partner of the world's leading catamaran shipyards
We work directly with the manufacturers — which means newer boats, faster service, and access to models other operators don't get.
