Who JOY ME suits
JOY ME accommodates 12 guests across 6 cabins, making her a capable choice for those seeking a social atmosphere on the water. With a crew of 11 on hand to assist, she provides a structured environment for groups who appreciate having active options at their fingertips. Guests can make use of the gym and exercise equipment, or head out on the water with a paddleboard and jet surf for a bit of sport. Her 49.9 m length creates a comfortable platform for those who prefer a vessel with a noticeable presence.
When looking at the options for Greece, JOY ME presents a distinct profile. She sits at a length longer than many similar yachts in the area, while her guest count remains the same. Her build year is similar to those counterparts, though she presents a lower weekly rate for charterers. This combination of space and value provides a practical alternative for those who want a vessel that stands out in size without requiring a higher expenditure.
She spends her time throughout the East Mediterranean, including Croatia, East Italy, Greece, Montenegro, and Turkey. The best time to experience these regions is between April and October, when the weather is most conducive to life on deck. For those who prefer a quieter experience, May, June, September, and October provide milder conditions. July and August are the peak months, ideal for guests who enjoy the warmth and activity of the high season. Whether exploring the coast of Montenegro or the islands of Greece, she is well-positioned for these 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.
