Who AETHER suits

AETHER accommodates eight guests across four cabins, attended to by a crew of three. At 20.4 m, this Fountaine Pajot sailing catamaran suits families or groups of friends who value both relaxed sailing and energetic time on the water. Days at anchor can be spent exploring coastlines using a kayak and paddleboard, enjoying a towable tube, or simply cooling off indoors with air conditioning.

When assessed alongside comparable sailing catamarans cruising in Greece, AETHER holds an appealing standing. Her overall length is similar to comparable yachts in the region, and she hosts the same guest count. Although her 2018 launch makes her build year older than several alternatives, her 2023 refit ensures she remains in strong shape, and her weekly rate is similar to equivalent options.

The best season to cruise aboard her depends on how you wish to experience Greece and the East Mediterranean. For classic warm-weather sailing, the summer period from June through July and August provides ideal conditions for life under sail. Alternatively, AETHER lists winter cruising for 2026, where quieter anchorages in the East Mediterranean can be enjoyed during months such as November, December, January and February.

Cruising Greece: when to go and where to anchor

Best time

The charter season runs from April to October. Peak activity occurs in July and August, coinciding with high temperatures and the Meltemi wind in the Aegean. May, June, September, and October offer milder weather and lower traffic. The Ionian Sea generally experiences lighter winds than the Aegean, while the Saronic Gulf provides sheltered conditions. Early and late season bookings are recommended for quieter anchorages and more moderate sailing conditions.

Practical tips

  • Most charters start at the Athens-area marinas (Alimos, Flisvos, Lavrio), about 30–50 minutes by car from Athens airport.
  • Entry into Greek ports often requires stern-to mooring; ensure the crew is briefed on anchor deployment and line handling.
  • Water supplies can be limited on smaller islands; monitor consumption and refill tanks at every opportunity in marinas.

Anchorages to know

  • Lakka, Paxos
    A wide, horseshoe-shaped bay featuring a shallow sandy bottom, typically ranging from two to four metres in depth.
  • Hydra Harbour
    A historic port on a vehicle-free island, requiring stern-to mooring in a tight, bustling harbour environment.
  • Ormos Kleftiko, Milos
    A bay defined by white volcanic rock formations and sea caves, accessible only by boat.
  • Gaios, Paxos
    A narrow, fjord-like inlet providing a sheltered natural harbour protected by the islet of Agios Nikolaos.
