About Sail Greece

Sail Greece Yachts was founded in 1986 by two friends, Giannis Makridakis, a professional Captain of the Greek merchant marine and Vassilis Patiniotis, an Engineer attending to the maintenance of our own sailing yachts.

Our main base is located at pier 6 in Alimos Marina in Athens, Greece.

We try to think like customers, and we care about making friends that enjoy sailing rather than clients. We are members of the Greek Professional Yacht Owners Association (SITESAP).

We charter our own privately owned sailing yachts
without any commission.

We are not a big brokerage company chartering bareboats that it does not own.

A few reasons to charter with Sail Greece

  1. We are the owners of all the yachts we charter.
  2. Our personal interest to maintain our sailing yachts at the highest standards is the best guarantee for our clients.
  3. Since 1986 we have been chartering boats and making friends with sailors from all over the world. No matter where you live, we are proud to provide a reference from a local sailor who has chartered with us and is happy to confirm our dedication to great service!
  4. We will be among the first and the last people that you will see upon arriving and before leaving Greece. 🙂

Our Pier at Alimos Marina

Our pier is located in Alimos Marina, Athens Greece. Our sailing boats are moored in Pier 6, Berths number 610 – 616. More information and a detailed map of the area can be seen here: Alimos Marina

Bareboat or Skippered?

We offer both bareboat and skippered yacht charters depending on the need of each client and group.

Bareboat yacht charters require at least one member of the rental party to have a valid International Certificate of Competence or a national equivalent.

If you are new to sailing or want to kick back and relax, we work with a select group of skippers who will be happy to show you the best of the Greek islands no matter what your taste!
