Explore Monemvasia

Anchor beneath the walls and the medieval town unfolds above you: stone lanes, a Byzantine church, and views out over open water from the old kastro at the top. It's one of the more striking pieces of history along this stretch of coast, and a natural stop for guests sailing further south than the classic Saronic loop.

How your week works

There's no fixed route - your week bends to you.

Every charter is private and fully custom. Your captain shapes each day around the weather, the sea and what you feel like - more swimming or more towns, an early start or a slow morning. Anything you read here about Monemvasia is inspiration, not a schedule; you can change plans anytime on board.

Planned with you daily

The route is set together, each morning.

Weather-led

Always the calmest, most beautiful option.

Your call

Linger longer wherever you fall in love.

The character of Monemvasia

A fortress town built into a rock just off the Laconian coast, Monemvasia is reached today by a single causeway - and by sea, arriving is even more dramatic.

For guests who want a genuine slice of Byzantine history folded into their week.

What you do here

How it fits a week

A rewarding stop for a week that pushes further south along the coast, for guests who want real history without a crowd. Nothing here is fixed - your captain places Monemvasia wherever it works best for your weather and your mood.

Frequently asked questions

01Is the itinerary fixed, or can we customize our route? +

All our trips are fully customizable. There is no fixed itinerary. The final route is shaped together with you, based on your preferences (how many hours you wish to sail per day, sightseeing or relaxation, hiking, swimming, local cuisine, etc.) and - most importantly - the weather at the time of your trip. The captain adjusts the plan daily to keep the experience relaxed, safe and enjoyable, and you can stay longer at places you love.

02Cyclades or Saronic Islands – what’s the difference and which do you recommend? +

The Cyclades offer iconic whitewashed villages, dramatic landscapes and longer open-water crossings - ideal for experienced cruisers and classic Greek scenery. The Saronic is calmer, greener and closer to Athens, with short hops between historic islands - perfect for relaxed sailing and families. We recommend based on your dates, group and pace.

03Can we visit Santorini, Mykonos, Naxos, or other specific islands in one week? +

Yes - within reason. A one-week route comfortably covers a cluster of nearby islands. Combining far-apart highlights (e.g. Mykonos and Santorini) is possible but means longer sailing days. We’ll design a realistic route that includes your must-see islands without rushing.

04What happens if the weather is bad? Will the trip be canceled? +

Trips are very rarely canceled. The captain monitors conditions daily and adapts the route to keep you in sheltered, comfortable waters. Safety and enjoyment always come first, and the flexible itinerary means there is almost always a great alternative nearby.

05Are prices per person or for the entire boat? +

Prices are for the entire boat - you charter the whole catamaran for your group, not per person. This makes it excellent value for families and groups of friends sharing the experience.

06What additional costs should we expect beyond the yacht price? +

Typical extras include fuel, marina/port fees, food and drinks, and the crew gratuity. We provide a clear breakdown in advance so there are no surprises, and you can choose your provisioning and dining preferences.

07How many islands will we visit during the week? +

Usually 5–7 islands or anchorages in a week, depending on distances and your pace. We balance moving and relaxing so you experience variety without spending all day at sea.

08Can we decide where to stop each day, or is it decided in advance? +

Both. We agree a flexible plan before departure, then fine-tune it day by day with your captain based on weather and what you’re enjoying. You stay in control of your holiday.
