Athens is Greece's biggest charter hub. Most yachts sail from Alimos Marina on the south coast, about 40 minutes by car from the airport, and more boats are based in Piraeus next door. Compare sailboats, catamarans and motor yachts from both bases on one page, bareboat or with a skipper, and sail to Aegina, Poros and Hydra in the Saronic Gulf, or on to the Cyclades.

Renting a boat in Athens: questions and answers
What does it cost to rent a boat in Athens?
Charter yachts cost from €910 per week, typically €2,950 per week (385 yachts with a price). Prices vary by date and season, and each boat shows the exact price for your dates.
Can I rent a boat with a skipper in Athens?
Yes. At least 89 of the boats on this page can be rented with a skipper or captain, so nobody in your group has to drive.
How many people can come along on a rental boat in Athens?
The largest boat here takes up to 30 people, and a typical boat takes 10.
Do I need a boat licence in Greece?
Not for a small motorboat: in Greece an outboard of up to 30 hp is licence-free on a conventional hull, but only up to 15 hp on a RIB or V-hull. To charter a yacht bareboat the skipper needs a recognised licence, and the ICC is the safest choice; with a hired skipper nobody on board needs one. Read our full licence guide.

Where do Athens charters start? Alimos and Piraeus
Alimos Marina is the largest marina in Greece and the base most Athens charter fleets sail from. It lies on the Athens Riviera between Palaio Faliro and Glyfada, about 40 minutes by car from Athens International Airport and 20 minutes from the city centre.
Piraeus, the city's historic port, is the second base, close to the metro and the ferry terminals. Boats from both bases are listed together on this page, so you see every available yacht in the Athens area at once.
Where can you sail from Athens?
The Saronic Gulf is on the doorstep. Aegina is a half-day sail from Alimos, and a one-week loop typically takes in Poros, Hydra and the Peloponnese coast around Epidavros. Sheltered waters and short hops make the Saronic the usual choice for a first charter in Greece.
With more experience, head south-east to the Cyclades: Kea, Kythnos and Syros are the first stops. In July and August the meltemi, a strong northerly wind, blows across the Cyclades, so plan that route with care or take a skipper.
Bareboat, skippered or crewed?
Many Athens yachts can be chartered bareboat. In Greece that requires a recognised sailing licence, such as the ICC, for the skipper and one more crew member with sailing experience. If nobody in your group holds one, add a professional skipper, or choose a crewed yacht with a skipper and host on board. Each listing shows which options it offers.
When to charter and how booking works
The season runs from April to October. May, June and September bring warm water and quieter anchorages; July and August are the busiest and most expensive weeks. Most charter yachts are booked by the week, Saturday to Saturday, and each listing shows the price and availability for your dates before you book.
A third base west of Athens: Nea Peramos
West of the city, on the way to Corinth, the harbour at Nea Peramos is home to a large fleet of catamarans and sailboats. It is about 40 minutes by car from central Athens and handy for the Saronic Islands and the Corinth Canal. Its boats are not listed on this page; find them among all catamarans in Greece. For the Cyclades, the closest base is Lavrion.
Where to pick up a charter boat in Athens
Charter boats listed for Athens are not moored in the city centre but along the coast to the south, on the Athens Riviera. Most of them lie in Alimos Marina on Posidonos Avenue, about 15 km from the centre and 30 km from the airport. With around 1,100 berths and its own charter village, it is one of the largest marinas in the Mediterranean. A few big motor yachts are based at Flisvos Marina in Palaio Faliro, built for yachts from 15 m upwards, and some boats leave from Glyfada.
The mix is broad: sailing yachts and catamarans for a bareboat or skippered week, crewed motor yachts, and a handful of private boats that can be booked by the day.
From Alimos the Saronic Gulf opens straight ahead. Aegina and its small neighbour Agistri lie across the gulf, with Poros, Hydra and Spetses further south-west. Our Saronic Gulf itinerary from Athens plans a full week island by island.
Good to know: the marina office works on VHF channel 71, and Alimos is in the middle of a large upgrade of its quays and services, so the layout may change from one season to the next.
