HIGH JINKS SANYA 57 offers the luxury and comfort of a fine hotel. Wide staircases beckon to the tranquillity and privacy of beautifully appointed cabins.
The salon, with its soft colours and flexible seating areas is the perfect place, if you want to hide from the sun and yet not loose contact through the panoramic view with the outside world or if you just want to guess what kind of mouth-watering, delicious culinary delicacies your Chef is going to prepare for you.
The aft deck, where you probably will spend most of your time at, is stylishly designed for your comfort, either when gathering around the table to enjoy a fabulous meal, filling the air with Mediterranean flavours, or simply relaxing, with an aperitif in your hand, after an exhausting day, playing with the numerous water toys, such as water skis, kayaks, paddle board, wake board, knee board, tubes, snorkelling gear ...etc., you have on board. Then again if you like fishing and catch something, your Chef can prepare it for you the same day and serve it to you in the most delicious way, you can imagine.
The fore deck is the absolute ideal area for sun-bathing on comfortable sun mattresses, a trampoline, and the best location, if you see any dolphins swimming alongside the boat. The Fly-bridge is the ultimate favourite place for enjoying a glass of champagne accompanied by a finger-licking hors d'oeuvre, while gazing onto the horizon and harmoniously savouring the dreamlike scenery during a sunset.
The sailing catamaran HIGH JINKS SANYA 57 will bring you to the most beautiful places in the Mediterranean while traveling in all comfort and privacy. Guided by her crew you will yourself discover the magnificent islands, nature and culture and most importantly the magnificent clarity of the Greek crystal blue waters.

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.
