Catamarans are becoming more and more popular as a choice for charter in the Greek Islands. These boats are comprised of 2 separate hulls joined to each other, as opposed to a single hull sailboat with only 1 hull. Catamarans are more spacious and stable while sailing, but their upwind sailing performance is limited to 60 degrees port and starboard of the wind direction and they are more difficult to manoever in ports if you are new to them or sailing. There is a relatively small but growing fleet of catamarans for charter throughout Greece and these boats often fill up early. Older catamarans offer considerable price discounts over newer ones and are maintained to the same standards for chartering. Other discounts can also often be found by renting a lesser known catamaran.
You will usually be offered a range of catamarans according to your request and availability. The best time of year to charter a catamaran in Greece is not neccessarily the peak of summer in August when rates and temperatures are high and when parking for catamarans in island ports can be difficult to come by. Why not consider taking your sailing holiday in Greece in the Fall, Spring or early/late summer if your schedule allows. Also be aware that the maximum number of passengers of most catmarans is based on crew sleeping also in the saloon bunks. To avoid surprices choose a catamaran that has enough cabin berths for your crew and friends, even if you have to pay more, its worth it.
