  • Fuel tank: 200 L

Life on board is organised around 4 cabins and 2 bathrooms. For a party of up to 10 people, common areas are best kept for meals and rest, with luggage inside the cabins. That leaves the cockpit and deck passages clear from the departure in Lavrio.

Time on Sun Odyssey 440 changes with the pace of the party. At 13,00 m long and 4,29 m wide, this 2021 sailing yacht can give sailors looking for several days of independence either an active day or a break built around a few selected stops. The best result comes when Galissas is enjoyed in its own right, not merely as a step towards Sounion.

From Lavrio, Merichas is a useful first reference for settling the boat, seeing how everybody feels and choosing a pause. Galissas can become the main stop, while Sounion is kept for a day with good light, stable weather and genuine appetite to continue.

Under way, the dimensions of Sun Odyssey 440 create a platform of 13,00 m by 4,29 m. For a night near Galissas, the 1,60-2,20 m depending on keel draft makes depth, swinging room and the overnight forecast part of the decision.

The starting price is €2,500/week. A simple list of inclusions and extras, particularly fuel, cleaning, harbours and skipper, keeps the final day free from avoidable questions about payment.

The boat is at its best with a crew that shares jobs, keeps the deck clear and accepts route changes. In that setting, Sun Odyssey 440 offers a complete break from Lavrio, whether it ends at Galissas or continues to Sounion.

Three ways to cruise from Lavrio on Sun Odyssey 440 — Merichas as a first stop for sailors looking for several days of independence · suited to sailors looking for several days of independence

Merichas and Galissas aboard Sun Odyssey 440: Three days at sea — between Merichas and Galissas on Sun Odyssey 440

After Merichas, the leg to Galissas continues only while wind, rest and arrival time still work together. If conditions change, nearby shelter preserves the afternoon on board. The deck is cleared for the night, water and energy are checked, and the next morning begins with a fresh forecast.

The middle day combines a comfortable passage to Merichas with real time to enjoy the place. Galissas is a second reference, not a compulsory target. Lunch on board, time ashore or another swim are chosen once everybody understands the boat and without pressure to complete a list.

    A well-prepared departure makes a difference: provisions stowed, deck clear and a sensible alternative if the wind changed.

Time aboard Sun Odyssey 440 between Merichas, Galissas and Sounion — Merichas as a first stop for sailors looking for several days of independence

The first morning in Lavrio works best without a rush; the party shares jobs and keeps the deck passages clear. In the opening miles on Sun Odyssey 440, the swimming stop is chosen for shelter and depth, not only photographs. While daylight still allows two shelters to be compared, nobody loses the experience by dropping a late stop. As evening settles over Sun Odyssey 440, one well-chosen stop matters more than a long list.

Before setting a course for Merichas, nobody must learn everything, but everybody knows whom to ask. As the water opens near Merichas, the deck feels better when it is not a permanent corridor. If Galissas looks busy on arrival, a nearby alternative preserves good humour and a daylight arrival. Before the party divides the cabins for the night, the morning plan is discussed without turning it into a duty.

An early coffee leaves room to study the forecast; a calm explanation turns the first manoeuvre into part of the holiday. After the party has found a comfortable pace, lunch can wait until a genuinely comfortable bay appears. When choosing between Galissas and Sounion, the simpler choice leaves time to cook, swim or go ashore. After swimwear and loose equipment are collected, memories grow from simple details and generous time together.

With provisions already stowed below, lines, fenders and documents are located before the engine starts. During the passage towards Merichas, conversation gives way to quiet moments watching the horizon. If the wind changes during the afternoon, depth, swinging room and the morning exit matter more than reputation. With dinner ready and the anchorage checked, water, batteries and weather are checked for an easy start.

Sun Odyssey 440 equipment: what to locate during handover — cruising towards Merichas with room for Sounion

Handover is the best time to walk through Sun Odyssey 440 calmly and connect each item with a real situation. Nobody needs to memorise everything: several people should know where essential equipment is kept, how it is left after use and whom to call if something differs from the agreement.

  • Safety and swimming. Everybody knows where to find «lifejackets» and «dinghy». The briefing also covers movement on deck, when passages stay closed and what happens before entering the water. Rules are adapted when children or first-time guests are aboard.
  • Navigation and communication. «GPS plotter», «VHF radio» and «autopilot» are reviewed while the boat is secured. A second person repeats the basic sequence so the route does not depend on one guest. On the passage to Merichas, these tools support the chart, observation and skipper’s decisions; they do not replace an outside watch.

With these references clear, Sun Odyssey 440 is easier to share. The crew can change the stage between Merichas and Sounion without losing time to searches, and handover in Lavrio becomes more orderly.

What to clarify before taking Sun Odyssey 440 towards Merichas

What should be confirmed when booking Sun Odyssey 440 from Lavrio between Merichas and Sounion?

Charter starts at €2,500/week. Before dates are confirmed, the quote should show what is included and what is paid separately: fuel, final cleaning, berths, skipper when requested and deposit. A written breakdown makes it possible to compare the real cost of the break. Settling it before leaving Lavrio gives the party more freedom near Merichas. An early decision prevents the arrival at Galissas from becoming a race.

Should Sun Odyssey 440 be chartered with or without a skipper between Merichas and Galissas?

Time on Sun Odyssey 440 changes with the pace of the party. At 13,00 m long and 4,29 m wide, this 2021 sailing yacht can give sailors looking for several days of independence either an active day or a break built around a few selected stops. The best result comes when Galissas is enjoyed in its own right, not merely as a step towards Sounion. The group can adjust it during handover while the base can still help.

What cruising pace suits Sun Odyssey 440 between Merichas and Galissas?

With that clear, the crew can concentrate on cruising instead of solving last-minute doubts.

Which equipment deserves a check before taking Sun Odyssey 440 from Merichas to Sounion?

How can Sun Odyssey 440 be arranged for 10 people on the route from Merichas to Sounion?

The final answer depends on forecast, handed-over inventory and the party’s actual experience. An early decision prevents the arrival at Galissas from becoming a race.
