The plan opens with a simple choice: prioritise sailing, swimming or lunch. From there, the boat heads towards Salamis.
The first reference can be Salamis, with time for a swim or short walk before continuing towards Peristeria.
After lunch, the route leaves room to approach the Faliro coast or extend the anchorage if the group prefers to stay in the water.
At the end of the day, the boat returns to Athens with a balanced mix of sailing, swimming and shared time on board.

What is normally included in the booking?
The booking includes use of the boat under agreed conditions and the equipment shown in the listing. Skipper, fuel, cleaning, moorings, catering or transfers may vary by date and charter mode.
Can Athens be combined with Methana and nearby islands?
The Saronic Gulf allows each plan to be adapted to the group. Common ideas include:
- Methana and quiet Poros: Departure from Athens with stops at Methana, Poros and, if there is margin, Neorio.
- 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.
How many people can board?
The capacity indicated for this listing is 10 people. If a detail needs confirmation, we review exact configuration, crew and regulations before closing the booking.
