Where do charters start?
The Lagoon 52 starts and finishes her cruises in Athens in Alimos marina.
What day of the week does the cruise start?
Departures take place on Saturdays at 5 pm. Disembarkation take place on Saturdays at 9 am.
Do we have a say in the itinerary?
We do not have a fixed itinerary, to the contrary we try to input personal parameters for each individual group. Hence, on first day, together with your captain with the week's windforecast in hand, you will select the most suitable set of stopovers.
How many people can the boat accommodate?
With her 5 double cabins with Queen size beds with ensuite facilities, the Lagoon 52 can accomodate up to 10 guests. The crew's quarters are fully separate.
Do we go into marinas at night?
In July and August, when harbors get very busy in the Greek islands, yachts generally anchor out in the evenings, unless they need to refill their fuel or water tanks or if they claim a slip before 15:00. Outside this period it is usually not a problem to go into marina at night. Each of our yachts carry a tender or dinghy with an outboard motor, sort of the taxi for getting around.
How do I figure costs and expenses?
Port dues and water tanks fill are included in the charter price. For the fuel, you should expect to spend between 900 to 1200 euros per week. The fuel consumption for both engines is 20 liters/per hour and 5 liters/per hour for the generators.
How does the catering onboard work?
The catering onboard works as following: we send you a food preference sheet to complete and your chef will shop accordingly. Your dietary needs and allergy info will be duly recorded and passed on to the chef who will make sure that all meals are prepared accordingly.
Regarding expenses as a whole (food, drinks, fuel and port dues), you may settle either them in cash directly to your crew or you may wire an Advance Provisioning Allowance (APA) of 20% of the charter fee. Should you have spent less, the balance shall be reimbursed in cash at the end of your cruise.
Dinner in or out?
It is up to you! You may have dinner onboard the catamaran prepared by your chef or have dinner ashore.
Two of us have moderate to severe allergies to nuts and are also vegetarians (no meat, chicken, seafood, or fish), will that be a problem to accommodate?
Not at all. Your cook may accommodate all your wishes, if he/she’s warned in advance. Since there are plenty of vegetables and fresh fruits in the Greek traditional summer diet, vegetarians are quite happy in Greece. Every day your cook will discuss the menu options with you and make proposals according to your wishes and the available fresh produces.
