Who MOONRAKER suits
MOONRAKER is a 36 m motor yacht that provides a comfortable setting for eight guests across four cabins. Supported by a crew of six, she is well-suited for groups looking to enjoy a mix of relaxation and activity. On board, guests can make use of a jacuzzi on deck and sun loungers for taking in the surroundings, while the inflatable watertoys and waverunners provide plenty of engagement for those spending time in the water.
When viewed alongside four similar yachts in Greece, MOONRAKER has a longer length, although she takes fewer guests than those alternatives. Her build year is older than these comparable vessels, yet she maintains a lower weekly rate for charters in the region. These attributes make her a distinct option for those prioritising space and cost efficiency while exploring the local waters.
The best time to experience MOONRAKER is during the months of May, June, September, and October, when the weather across the East Mediterranean, West Mediterranean, and the Black Sea remains mild and the traffic is lower. She is positioned for charters throughout the year in areas including Croatia, Cyprus, East Italy, Greece, Malta, the Middle East, Montenegro, North East Africa, Turkey, the Balearic Islands, Campania, Corsica & Sardinia, the French Riviera, the Amalfi Coast, Lazio, North Africa, Sicily & Aeolian Islands, the South of France, Spain, and Tuscany. Choosing these quieter months helps ensure more moderate conditions while navigating these diverse locations.

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.
