Boat Rental Athens: From Ancient Wonders to Island Adventures

Renting a boat in Athens is the ideal way to combine urban flair with island serenity. Within just a few miles, you’ll reach Aegina, Poros and Hydra – islands full of character, scenic anchorages and welcoming tavernas. For those seeking more adventure, set course to Kythnos, Kea or Syros in the Western Cyclades, where unspoiled landscapes and authentic villages await. With a yacht charter from Athens via Sailogy, you can choose between monohull sailboats, spacious catamarans or speedy motor yachts – bareboat or skippered. The capital's location offers unmatched variety, from weekend cruises to full-blown Cyclades exploration. You also benefit from Athens' international airport, modern marinas and comprehensive provisioning options.

Why Choose a Yacht Charter from Athens?

Athens is more than a cultural metropolis – it’s a strategic sailing hub. The Saronic Gulf is protected from the Meltemi winds by the mainland, creating ideal summer conditions, especially for families and beginner crews. At the same time, its proximity to the Cyclades allows for longer, more challenging crossings. The area features ancient ruins like the Temple of Poseidon at Cape Sounion and charming villages such as Aegina Town. Culinary highlights include pistachios from Aegina, seafood tavernas and traditional Greek dishes right by the sea. With easy airport access and excellent marina services, Athens is a convenient and rewarding place to begin your yacht charter.

Top Destinations from Athens

From short trips to two-week Cycladic journeys, sailing from Athens offers endless possibilities. Visit Aegina for ancient temples and lively harborside cafés. Poros enchants with pine forests and neoclassical buildings. Hydra is completely car-free, offering elegance, culture and donkey transport. Spetses is both historic and cosmopolitan. Adventurous sailors can head to Kythnos, famous for its hot springs and twin sandbar beach in Kolona, or to Kea and Syros for a taste of Cycladic charm with modern amenities. Each island has its own story, and you can shape your route based on weather, time and crew preferences.

Sailing Conditions Around Athens

The Saronic Gulf offers light to moderate winds and calm seas, ideal for relaxed sailing and family-friendly cruising. Navigation is straightforward and marinas like Alimos, Kalamaki and Lavrion provide solid infrastructure. Further east, the open waters toward the Cyclades can be more challenging, especially in July and August when the Meltemi picks up. Skippers with offshore experience will find it rewarding, and newcomers may prefer a skippered charter. The variety of routes allows you to combine easy island-hopping with more ambitious crossings – all within a week.

How to Get There & Marina Access

Athens International Airport (ATH) is the best-connected gateway in Greece, with many direct flights from across Europe. Marina access times are:

  • Alimos Marina: ~30 minutes
  • Kalamaki Marina: ~35 minutes
  • Lavrion Marina: ~60 minutes Sailogy can assist you with private transfers directly to your base. Marinas offer provisioning shops, dining options and 24/7 support – even for late arrivals or early departures.

Boat Types & Features

With us,  you can choose from a wide range of yachts and boats:

  • Sailboat rental Athens: classic style for couples and sailing purists
  • Catamaran rental Athens: perfect for groups and families seeking space and stability
  • Motor yacht rental Athens: luxury and speed for stylish island-hopping All boats are available bareboat or with skipper. Optional extras like hostess or full crew can be added. Our team will help you select the perfect yacht for your journey.

Licenses & Documents

For bareboat charters, you’ll need a valid coastal sailing license (e.g., ICC, RYA Day Skipper). A VHF license is not required in Greece. If you’re unsure or prefer a relaxing experience, simply book a professional skipper. Sailogy will help verify your documents and finalize your booking.

What to Pack for Your Sailing Trip

Bring swimwear, sunscreen, light summer clothes, a windbreaker, non-slip shoes and a sun hat. Pack personal medications, a refillable water bottle, and a soft duffel bag instead of a suitcase. Don’t forget a good book or portable speaker to enhance your time on deck. With the right gear, your Athens yacht charter becomes a carefree experience.

Cultural Highlights Along the Route

Sailing from Athens gives you access to a wealth of cultural treasures. The Temple of Poseidon at Cape Sounion offers stunning sunset views. Aegina hosts ancient ruins and quaint museums. Hydra is rich in maritime history, neoclassical mansions and artistic heritage. Syros, capital of the Cyclades, features a grand opera house, baroque architecture and a vibrant cultural calendar. Every island stop brings a blend of history, art and authentic Greek life.

Best Time to Sail

The sailing season runs from April to October:

  • April–May: blooming landscapes and mild weather
  • June–August: hot and lively, ideal for beach days and family trips
  • September–October: warm water, fewer crowds, perfect for couples and culture seekers The shoulder months are great for quiet sailing and better prices.

Culinary Discoveries Around Athens

Enjoy fresh seafood, grilled meats, local wines and regional specialties like Aegina pistachios or thyme honey from Kythnos. Island tavernas offer authentic menus and sunset views, while those who enjoy cooking can find daily catch in the markets and prepare meals onboard. Greek island cuisine is an experience all its own – and your yacht gives you front-row access.
