About the yacht
About MEDUSA
Description as supplied.
Medusa is a 68' luxurious motor yacht, built by Azimut in 2005 and fully refitted in 2019 that is available for charters in Greece.
She accommodates comfortably in her 4 elegant cabins, all with en-suite facilities and a/c, up to 8 guests. Medusa features cozy and relaxed lounge as well as dining area.
The experienced and dedicated crew of 3 will welcome guests on board and will make their trip on board unforgettable.
The essence of a Luxury Charter is the flexibility and independence a crewed yacht allows; a holiday on a luxury yacht represents freedom-either to relax, or go where the action is.
It is up to her guests where they want to go and how long they will stay there; whether staying in one favorite spot and simply taking advantage of 5-star Luxury living space of the yacht, or plan an adventurous itinerary and wake up to a new view every morning.
In Greek mythology, Medusa was considered to be a beast and one of the three mythical Mermaids who had the ability to petrify whoever looked at her even after Perseus beheaded her. In modern times her name was given to an asteroid and the image of her head has became a famous symbol!

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.
