Athens is the only European capital where a day charter starts inside the city: boats leave Alimos marina, 20 minutes from the Acropolis, for the Saronic islands — Aegina, Moni, Agistri — and the Athens riviera’s coves. It’s the biggest charter fleet in Greece, which keeps day rates honest.

Where to go for a day on the water

Routes you can run with your own boat from Athens — no tour timetable, your own swim stops.

Aegina, Moni & Agistri

The classic Saronic day: a swim at uninhabited Moni’s pine bay, lunch in Perdika’s fishing harbour on Aegina, and Agistri’s turquoise Aponisos anchorage before the run home.

Athens riviera & Cape Sounion

Track the riviera south past Vouliagmeni to Cape Sounion, anchor beneath the Temple of Poseidon, and time the return for sunset off Glyfada.

Renting a boat in Athens: what to know

How much does it cost to rent a boat in Athens?

Day and short charters in Athens currently start from €308 per day. Prices vary with boat size, season and whether a skipper is included — every listing shows its live price before you book.

Do I need a license to rent a boat?

To skipper yourself in Greece you need a valid boating license and (in most cases) a VHF certificate. No license? Book a skippered charter — a local skipper handles the boat while you enjoy the day.

Can I rent a boat in Athens for just one day?

Yes — Athens has single-day charters available alongside 2–3 day short trips. Set your dates on the listing to see live availability.

Is a skipper included?

Depends on the boat: some include a skipper in the price, others offer one as an extra, and licensed guests can take many boats out bareboat. Each listing states what’s included.

Staying longer than a day?

Athens is also a weekly-charter base — browse the full sailing fleet and split the cost with your crew.
