We suggest leaving Athens in the late morning, once the group is settled on deck and the skipper can adapt the plan to wind and sea.
The central stretch adapts to sea state between Salamis and Peristeria, looking for shelter and a comfortable lunch stop.
The result is a day of short distances, easy logistics and views of Athens from the sea, with flexibility to make it more active or more relaxed.
At the end of the day, the boat returns to Athens with a balanced mix of sailing, swimming and shared time on board.

Reviews
Our experience with Lagoon 42 in Athens and the Saronic Gulf
Want to sail the Saronic Gulf without handling logistics yourself? Lagoon 42 offers a practical Athens base and very flexible routes.
| Departure ports | The indicated base is Athens; the exact boarding point is confirmed with the booking. |
|---|---|
| Events and celebrations | The catamaran can adapt to private plans, discreet celebrations or company outings. |
| Advice | We advise on route, timing, forecast and optional services so decisions are not improvised. |
| Full management | We can help with transfers, provisioning, restaurant bookings and catering details. |
| Skipper and crew | With or without skipper. Final availability is confirmed according to date, licence and charter mode. |
| Guest reviews | Reviews highlight organisation, route flexibility and the comfort of the Lagoon 42. |
| Support | The team is available before and during preparation to answer practical questions. |
When preparing a booking from Athens, it is better to think less about a closed list of islands and more about the type of day you want. The Catamaran Lagoon 42 can take routes towards Aegina, Agistri, Poros or Cape Sounion depending on available time, always with the forecast as reference. The team helps organise timing, food preferences, possible stops and group needs so the outing feels fluid. This landing avoids a generic route: the focus is boarding timing, anchorage shelter and a realistic stop at Methana.
Book CatamaranFrequently asked questions
Can it be booked for a private celebration from Athens?
Yes. The Catamaran Lagoon 42 can be shaped as a private outing, relaxed celebration or corporate day with a more personal format than an event ashore. The key is to set duration, route, services and pace before departure.
| Private celebrations? | Birthdays, anniversaries or family gatherings can adapt to the rhythm of the group. |
|---|---|
| Corporate events? | A good alternative for incentives, informal meetings, team building or a different day with clients. |
| Custom atmosphere | Music, route pace and stops are adjusted to the group profile. |
| Catering and menus | We can advise on provisioning, catering, snacks or restaurants depending on the route. |
| Tailor-made activities | Swimming, snorkelling, paddle surf if available, harbour walks or longer anchorages. |
| Comfortable space | The catamaran is organised to provide rest areas, shade and time together. |
| Professional advice | We help choose route, schedule and services without promising details not included in the listing. |
| Logistics handled | Timings, boarding point and practical recommendations are coordinated before departure. |
| Tailor-made experiences | The day can be calm, active, food-focused or centred on sailing, depending on the group. |
| Privacy and exclusivity | A private booking avoids sharing the experience with people outside the group. |
| Trip memories | The Saronic Gulf offers attractive photo settings without forcing the route. |
Is previous experience needed to charter it?
Not necessarily. Depending on charter mode and available licence, sailing with a professional skipper is possible. If bareboat charter is considered, requirements, experience and documents are checked before confirmation.
Which itineraries are common near Kythnos?
From Athens there are several realistic alternatives without turning the day into an excessive passage:
- Kea and Kythnos: Departure from Athens with stops at Kea, Kythnos and, if there is margin, Kolona.
- Agistri and Aponisos: A more travel-focused option combining Agistri, Aponisos and an afternoon stop near Skala.
- Flexible half-day or full-day route: Plan adjusted to forecast, boarding times and preferences between swimming, sailing or lunch ashore.
All routes are adjusted to actual sailing time, sea conditions and your interests: relaxation, restaurants, snorkelling, harbour walks or quiet anchorages.
Can we eat on board or in a restaurant?
Both options are possible depending on the route. Eating on board gives more freedom at anchor; booking a restaurant lets you go ashore and discover a harbour.
Is it suitable for several days of sailing?
It depends on layout and expected comfort. With 6 cabins and 4 bathrooms in the listing, an escape can be planned if the group accepts that configuration.
