Description
This weekly skippered and crewed charter from Athens Marina is crafted for guests who want their Greek island holiday to include more than beautiful water and lively harbors. Aboard the Sunseeker 75, you’ll enjoy the comfort and speed of a refined motor yacht while combining classic Saronic island life with unforgettable cultural highlights along the Peloponnese coast.

From the moment you arrive at Athens Marina, the charter is designed to feel effortless. Your skipper and crew manage navigation, safety, mooring, and daily operations, while also supporting the details that matter: smooth embarkation, clear guidance onboard, and flexible route planning that adapts to weather and guest interests. This is exactly the kind of private yachting week that families, couples, and close friend groups love - comfortable, well-paced, and full of moments that make the journey feel distinctly personal.
About Our Service in Athens, the Saronic Gulf, and the Peloponnese
Your charter begins on Saturday with afternoon embarkation at Athens Marina. After a warm welcome, the crew provides a professional briefing covering onboard safety, comfort guidelines, and how the week will unfold. Departure is at 17:00, intentionally timed so guests can settle in before cruising. Every day thereafter is planned with a simple goal: maximize enjoyment on the water and ashore while keeping passages comfortable and the overall rhythm relaxed.
Day 1 – Saturday | Athens Marina → Aegina
The first evening cruise heads to Aegina, a convenient and charming island that offers the perfect “first night” atmosphere. After arrival, guests can enjoy waterfront dining, a stroll along the harbor, or a quiet first night onboard to reset into holiday mode. This short start is purposeful: it helps you transition from city to sea without any sense of rush.
Day 2 – Sunday | Aegina → Epidaurus
Sunday introduces one of the itinerary’s signature cultural elements. A morning cruise of around three hours brings you toward Epidaurus, a region famous for its ancient theater. Guests may choose to visit the site for an experience that is both historical and surprisingly emotional - standing within a space built for performance thousands of years ago. Alternatively, the day can be enjoyed at nearby beaches and calm waters, with the yacht providing a luxurious base between exploration and relaxation. Overnight is planned either in harbor or at anchor, selected by the skipper based on conditions and guest comfort preferences.
Day 3 – Monday | Epidaurus → Hydra
Monday is a scenic transition back to island glamour. The cruise to Hydra typically takes around four hours and can include a swim stop depending on weather and sea state. Arrival in Hydra is always memorable: the harbor’s stone architecture, steep hillside streets, and car-free serenity create a feeling unlike anywhere else in Greece. Guests can spend the afternoon exploring galleries, taking coastal walks, or enjoying refined dining as the harbor lights come on. Overnight in Hydra harbor provides that special experience of the island after the day crowd fades.
Day 4 – Tuesday | Hydra → Spetses
Tuesday continues the island-hopping rhythm with a comfortable cruise (around three hours) to Spetses. The skipper can time this day so guests enjoy a swim in clear coves before docking. Spetses offers a blend of beaches, elegant streets, and a vibrant evening scene. It’s ideal for guests who love variety: bike rides, waterfront cafés, boutique browsing, and long dinners that stretch into the night.
Day 5 – Wednesday | Spetses → Nafplio
Wednesday is a highlight for guests who appreciate romance and history. A cruise of around four hours brings you to Nafplio, often considered one of Greece’s most beautiful towns. With its charming old quarter, sea-facing promenades, and dramatic fortifications, Nafplio feels cinematic. Guests may opt to visit the Palamidi Fortress for panoramic views, or simply wander the old town streets, stopping for coffee, shopping, and relaxed meals. Spending the evening here adds depth and contrast to the week’s island rhythm.
Day 6 – Thursday | Nafplio → Poros
Thursday turns back toward island shelter with a return cruise of around four hours to Poros. This shift reintroduces calm anchorages and a lively harbor atmosphere. Poros is excellent for easy evening entertainment: waterfront restaurants, charming streets, and a relaxed nightlife that feels social without being overwhelming. Many guests enjoy the simple pleasure of returning onboard for a quiet night under the stars after a town dinner.
Day 7 – Friday | Poros → Athens Marina
The final cruising day is a comfortable three-hour return toward Athens, usually enhanced with swim stops along the way. This is your last day to savor the yacht’s deck life - sun, sea, and the feeling of being entirely removed from routine. The crew supports a smooth arrival back to Athens Marina and can assist with a farewell dinner onboard or recommendations ashore for a final Greek evening.
Day 8 – Saturday | Disembarkation
Disembarkation is at 09:00 after breakfast, managed calmly and efficiently to end the week as smoothly as it began.

Her twin 1,550 HP engines provide a smooth cruise at around 23 knots and a top speed up to 32 knots, allowing the skipper to optimize your time and adapt the routing intelligently.

The yacht’s underwater lights elevate evenings at anchor, adding atmosphere that makes the yacht feel like a private floating boutique hotel.
