At 62 meters (203ft) in length, the massive sail yacht ATHOS enters her second Greek yacht charter season as the largest sailing vessel for hire in the Greek islands.
Designed by Andre Hoek and built by Holland Jachtbouw, yacht ATHOS is registered as the world’s largest privately-owned schooner and the most  technologically sophisticated classic sail yacht on the seas.
Accommodations are available for 10 guests in 3 doubles staterooms, plus 2 twins (convertible)  cabins.  A captain and crew compliment of 8 are on hand to attend to the guests as well as the safe operation of the superyacht.

DECKHOUSE

The yacht’s 11-meter beam (the width of the vessel) creates an unprecedented amount of volume. The interior includes a luxurious owners’ suite, with private cockpit and deckhouse.  The main deckhouse offers a formal dining area as well as an entertainment lounge.

Unique points of interest:

  • A centerboard keel allowing her to access shallow waters that other vessels of her size cannot contemplate
  • Amazing deck space and luxurious accommodation impressing any guests invited on board
  • Large assortment of watertoys are available, including an inflatable flying boat

RATES

Charter rates begin at  180,000 EUROS per week, plus running expenses.
