Why Rent a Catamaran in Mykonos?

Stability in the Aegean: The Cyclades are famous for the summer Meltemi wind, which can create choppy seas. A catamaran’s wide beam and twin hulls provide unmatched stability, meaning your boat stays flat while sailing and anchored, preventing seasickness and keeping your crew comfortable.

  • The Delos & Rhenia Escape: Escape the bustling crowds by taking a short sail to the ancient ruins of Delos (a UNESCO World Heritage site) and the pristine, secluded turquoise bays of Rhenia.
  • Shallow Draft Magic: A catamaran allows you to anchor much closer to the shore. Drop anchor right off legendary southern beaches like Psarou (Nammos) or Super Paradise and enjoy the VIP lifestyle from your own private deck.
Captain’s Insider Tip: Hire a Skipper “The Aegean winds can be quite strong in July and August. If you are not highly experienced with the Meltemi, hiring a local skipper in Mykonos is the best choice. They know exactly which bays are protected from the wind, ensuring a stress-free, luxurious holiday!”
