Who BLUE VELVET suits
BLUE VELVET is a 15.8 m sailing catamaran designed to accommodate large groups across her 6 cabins. With a crew of 2, she provides a relaxed environment for those looking to enjoy the water. Guests can make use of paddleboards and a wakeboard, while the outdoor audio system and sun pads ensure comfort while anchored. Her layout is well-suited for families or groups of friends who appreciate having space for 12 guests overnight.
When assessed against comparable vessels in Greece, BLUE VELVET sits at a similar length and features a build year that aligns with the local fleet. She takes on more guests than the alternatives, providing a practical solution for parties seeking additional capacity. Her weekly rate remains similar to other yachts of this type, making her a consistent choice for those exploring these waters.
The best time to charter her is during the months of May, June, September, and October, when the East Mediterranean and Greece experience milder weather and lower traffic. While she is positioned for the East Mediterranean and Greece throughout the summer and winter of 2026, the period between April and October serves as the primary window for sailing. Choosing the early or late season allows for quieter anchorages and more moderate conditions, perfect for enjoying the water maker and BBQ facilities on board.

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