Why Charter a Catamaran from Alimos?

The twin-hull design provides exceptional space across deck and cabin, making them ideal for 8–10 guests who want to avoid seasickness. Boat4You partners with leading charter fleets based at Alimos to deliver premium catamaran experiences.
Alimos Marina sits perfectly between Glyfada and Palaio Faliro, offering direct access to iconic Greek routes. Whether you're sailing to Hydra's car-free charm or anchoring in Poros' sheltered waters, a catamaran from Alimos gives you the stability and deck space to enjoy every moment.

Catamaran Routes from Alimos Marina
The Saronic Gulf and beyond offer endless exploration. Sail 14 nautical miles southwest to Aegina's beaches, or venture 40 nautical miles to Hydra's whitewashed harbour. Poros (25 nm) and Spetses (55 nm) are equally accessible, each with their own character and charm.
For longer adventures, round Cape Sounion—20 nm southeast—to visit the iconic Poseidon temple. From there, the Cyclades archipelago opens up: Kythnos, Kea, and Serifos beckon bareboat sailors seeking wilderness and authentic island life.
Spring and autumn offer ideal sailing conditions with steady winds and comfortable temperatures. Summer brings the Meltemi northerly wind (15–25 knots July–August), perfect for experienced sailors. Boat4You helps you choose the right season and catamaran size for your planned itinerary.
Catamaran Features & Amenities
Modern Alimos-based catamarans include air-conditioned cabins, fully equipped galleys, saloon dining, and spacious flybridge areas perfect for sunset gatherings. Twin engines ensure reliability and reduced motion in a seaway. Many feature swimming platforms and easy access to tenders for beach explorations.
Shallow draft (1.2–1.4 metres) allows exploration of smaller harbours and remote anchorages—a key advantage for Hydra, where traditional ports have depth restrictions. Deck space is generously laid out; families appreciate the safe railings and open-air lounging.
Charter companies at Alimos provide full provisioning support, with fresh provisioning services, ice, water top-ups, and fuel stops readily available. The onsite boatyard handles any mechanical needs, ensuring peace of mind throughout your charter.
Alimos Marina Services & Infrastructure
As Greece's largest charter marina with approximately 1,100 berths, Alimos is a fully-equipped facility. Fuel dock, chandleries (multiple outlets), and the Sklavenitis supermarket simplify provisioning. A professional boatyard offers haul-out, repair, and maintenance services for any urgent needs.
Charter offices operate continuously at the marina, staffed with experienced sailors who can brief you on seasonal conditions, provide detailed route planning, and recommend anchorages. Sailing schools on-site offer certified courses for those wanting to improve skills before departure.
Public transport connections are excellent: the Athens Tram (Tram line T4) runs directly to central Athens and Syntagma Square. Metro access and taxi ranks ensure easy city access for provisioning, dining, or exploring local culture. Rental car services are also available at the marina.
Best Time to Charter a Catamaran
May, June, and September offer optimal conditions: light to moderate winds, warm seas (20–24°C), and calm anchorages. July and August bring stronger Meltemi winds but shorter days and more intense sun. Spring and autumn are ideal for families preferring gentler sailing and fewer crowds.
Winter (November–March) sees occasional strong winds and cooler temperatures, but experienced sailors value this season for solitude and dramatic seascapes. Boat4You advises first-time charters to aim for May–June or September for the best balance of weather, visibility, and amenities.
Catamaran Stability & Family Appeal
Twin-hulled catamarans are the gold standard for families with young children and guests prone to seasickness. The wide beam distributes weight evenly across two hulls, minimizing rolling and pitching compared to monohull sailing yachts. Parents appreciate the reduced motion when cooking, dining, or resting below decks.
Deck layouts on catamarans prioritize safety. Wide walkways, substantial railings, and flat sterns create secure environments for children and elderly guests. Tender launches from calm transom platforms, and water access is straightforward and supervised. Boat4You verifies all safety equipment and briefing protocols on every chartered catamaran.

Catamaran Charter FAQs
What is the typical catamaran size at Alimos Marina?
Catamarans at Alimos range from 36 to 45 feet (11–14 metres), accommodating 6–10 guests across 3–4 cabins. Larger crewed options (50+ feet) are available for luxury charters with professional skippers and crew.
Can I bareboat charter a catamaran if I'm inexperienced?
Most catamarans at Alimos require proof of sailing competence (RYA Day Skipper or equivalent). First-time sailors can hire a professional skipper or take a course towards a recognised licence. Boat4You coordinates all training and certification needs.
What are typical catamaran charter costs?
Weekly rates range from €1,500–€4,000 depending on season, boat size, and inclusions. Fuel, mooring, and skipper (if hired) are usually additional.
Is a catamaran suitable for rough seas?
Yes. Twin hulls distribute weight and motion better than monohulls, reducing seasickness. The Saronic Gulf is generally calm and protected; rare rough conditions occur in midsummer Meltemi or winter storms.
What's included in a catamaran charter?
Standard inclusions: mooring at Alimos, kitchen (galley) equipment, life jackets, safety gear, navigation charts, and welcome briefing. Most do not include food, fuel, or skipper unless specified. Check your listing for exact inclusions.
How many crew members do catamarans carry?
Bareboat catamarans carry no permanent crew—you operate the vessel with your party. Skippered charters include a professional skipper (and sometimes a deckhand). Crewed luxury catamarans (50+ feet) add chefs, stewards, and diving masters for full-service hospitality.
Are catamarans comfortable for multi-week charters?
Yes. Spacious cabins, generous galley facilities, and excellent stabilization make catamarans ideal for extended cruises. Two-week or longer charters allow deeper exploration of the Cyclades and allow you to truly settle in and enjoy the Greek islands at leisure.
Sample 7-Day Saronic Gulf Itinerary
Day 1: Alimos to Aegina (14 nm, 2 hours). Swim off pristine beaches; explore the Temple of Aphaia. Day 2: Aegina to Poros (11 nm, 1.5 hours). Narrow strait between Poros and mainland creates picturesque anchorages. Day 3: Poros to Hydra (15 nm, 2 hours). Car-free island with white-washed harbour and excellent restaurants. Days 4–5: Hydra-based day trips or sail to Spetses (15 nm). Maritime museum, waterfront promenades, and protected anchorages. Days 6–7: Return voyage via Poros and Aegina, or explore Cape Sounion and Poseidon's temple. This itinerary suits families and first-time sailors; wind-dependent adjustments are common.
Provisioning: Sklavenitis, AB Supermarkets, and Local Markets
Alimos Marina hosts Sklavenitis supermarket—Greece's leading chain—steps from berths. Fresh produce, wines, meats, and international foods stock charter provisioning comprehensively. AB supermarket chain also operates nearby. These on-site retailers eliminate time-consuming provisioning runs; Boat4You coordinates pre-arrival provisioning if you prefer a fully stocked catamaran upon arrival. Island provisioning at Aegina, Poros, and Hydra offers local products: fresh fish, cheeses, and wines unavailable in supermarkets.
Airport Transfer: 30–35 Minutes from ATH
Athens International Airport (ATH) to Alimos Marina: 30–35 minutes by taxi (€40–55 typical cost), or pre-booked transfer service. Car rental is available on-site for those wanting independent ground transport. Boat4You coordinates seamless handovers: your catamaran is briefed, provisioned, and ready upon arrival. Evening flights landing 20:00 allow same-day embarkation; early morning departures enable full sailing days.
Briefing Day Process and Safety Checks
Arrival day includes comprehensive briefing: navigation systems tutorial, engine and electrical familiarization, mooring techniques, safety equipment locations and protocols, galley orientation, water and fuel management, communication procedures (VHF radio, marina contact), and emergency response. Safety check encompasses life jackets, flares, life raft certification, first-aid kit, and fire extinguishers. Professional handovers typically require 2–3 hours; crews depart next morning refreshed.
Vessel-Type Differences in Saronic Cruising
Catamarans excel in Saronic conditions: shallow-draft designs access protected anchorages inaccessible to deep-draft monohulls. Twin hulls minimize rolling in the Saronic's sometimes-choppy open-water transitions. Spacious decks and saloons suit families wanting relaxation over sailing athleticism. Power catamarans add speed—covering 150+ nm daily vs. sailing catamarans' wind-dependent pacing. Bareboat sailing yachts demand sailing competence but deliver traditional seacraft engagement. Motor yachts balance speed with moderate crew requirements. Boat4You helps match vessel type to your experience, preferences, and itinerary.
Nearby Attractions: Athens Riviera, Cape Sounion, Poseidon Temple
Alimos sits on Athens Riviera—the coastal belt south of Athens featuring beach clubs, restaurants, and seaside promenades. Day trips ashore explore Athens' museums, Acropolis, and neighborhoods (tram access, 25 minutes). Cape Sounion (20 nm southeast of Alimos) features dramatic white-marble Temple of Poseidon overlooking the Aegean. Sunset visits—romantic and unforgettable—are easily arranged. Hidden beaches and sea caves near Sounion reward exploration by tender or swimming. Cruising past Sounion en route to the Cyclades offers cultural immersion with minimal detour.
Certifications: ICC and VHF Requirements
International Certificate of Competence (ICC) or national boating certificate is required for bareboat catamaran charter at Alimos. VHF radio certificate demonstrates communication competence and responsibility. Most charter companies require proof (physical certificates or digital records). Boat4You can clarify the requirements before you book; if nobody in your group holds the documents, book a skipper. VHF operation is straightforward—charter briefings provide essential protocols and local frequencies.
