The best way to explore the islands of the Argo-Saronic gulfs is on a catamaran charter, but if you’re travelling alone or in small groups, it’s even better to hop on a fully crewed catamaran, book only the cabins you need, and explore the islands in style!
With a professional English speaking skipper and hostess/first mate on board, all you need to do is sit back and enjoy the ride. Each day includes a swim-stop in a beautful location and evening ashore for dinner and to explore.

The Lagoon 42 is a modern Catamaran with an experienced crew to sail you around its isles.
