ASA YACHT CHARTER GREECE

Yacht Charters for ASA Members — From Poros Island, Greece

Charter Your Own Yacht at a Discounted Rate

Our sailing school offers ASA members exclusive access to our fleet of Jeanneau yachts — all available at discounted weekly rates.
From 32-foot cruisers to 49-foot, 4-cabin yachts, each vessel is professionally maintained and fully equipped for safe, comfortable island sailing.

Located on the beautiful island of Poros, our base offers a more relaxed, efficient, and affordable charter experience than the busy marinas of mainland Athens.


Why Charter with Us

  • 🛥️ Exclusive ASA Member Discounts
    Enjoy special rates not available through mainland Greek brokers.

  • Modern Jeanneau Fleet
    Choose from a wide selection of comfortable, high-performance yachts ranging from 32ft to 49ft.

  • 📍 Convenient Location — Poros Island Base
    Just a 1-hour fast ferry ride from Piraeus (Athens ferry port), Poros offers a perfect island starting point, saving you valuable sailing time.


Why Start Your Charter from Poros Instead of Athens

Most Greek charter yachts operate from Alimos Marina in Athens, where procedures are often lengthy and crowded.
Starting from Poros, you skip the stress — and gain more time sailing among the islands.

Here’s the difference:

When You Start in Athens

  • Lose up to 2 full days in documentation, check-in, and return procedures.

  • 🧾 Broker paperwork and yacht inventory sign-offs can take hours.

  • 🌅 You can’t leave port until Sunday morning — after your Saturday check-in day.

  • 🏝️ The nearest island is 26 miles away, requiring 4–5 hours of sailing.

  • ⏰ You must return to Alimos Marina by Friday 5–6pm, losing another full sailing day.

  • 🛒 Provisioning is harder and more expensive in Athens marinas.

When You Start in Poros

  • 🚤 Just 1 hour from Athens by fast ferry, arriving directly in the islands.

  • 🚶 5-minute walk from the Poros ferry dock to your yacht.

  • 📄 Quick, friendly documentation — no waiting in long lines or crowded broker offices.

  • 🛍️ Easy provisioning — a supermarket only 50 meters away and fresh local produce from nearby farms.

  • 🏖️ Sail immediately — Poros has many bays and anchorages only minutes away, and the nearest island is just 8 miles away.

  • 🌅 Spend your first evening at anchor instead of in a marina.

  • 💙 Poros itself is charming — with waterfront tavernas, quiet coves, and scenic walks to enjoy before you set sail.


Your Time Matters

By starting your charter on Poros Island, you:

  • Save two full sailing days

  • Avoid Athens traffic and bureaucracy

  • Enjoy a relaxed check-in process

  • Begin your adventure right in the islands

If you arrive on Saturday by 10:00 am, you’ll be on your yacht and ready to sail by noon.
Formalities are quick, and we handle everything on-site — we’re the only charter base in town, so there’s no waiting in broker queues or port authority offices.


Your Gateway to the Greek Islands

From Poros, you can easily explore:

  • The Saronic Gulf — Aegina, Hydra, Spetses, and beyond

  • Secluded anchorages ideal for swimming and overnight stays

  • Calm, sunlit sailing conditions perfect for all skill levels

Our Poros base combines the charm of Greek island life with the practicality of a well-equipped sailing hub — the perfect way to extend your ASA training or enjoy a private sailing adventure.

Jeanneau 32i

The Sun Odyssey 32i is a newer evolution of Jeanneau’s well respected Sun Odyssey 32 design. Like the 32, the 32i has a remarkably spacious interior for a 32’ cruising yacht making it as ideal for a family sailing holiday. She provides two cabins and so suits ‘Mum & Dad up front’ with one or two children in the stern cabin. The Sun Odyssey 32i is fast and seaworthy and an excellent choice for comfortable family cruising.

Jeanneau 36i

The Sun Odyssey 36i a newer evolution of the slightly smaller Sun Odyssey 35 and like the 35 provides three cabins and six fully made-up berths. This makes her excellent for a couple wanting more space or a family needing two separate cabins for the children. Alternatively the 36i is excellent for a group of three couples/6 adults.

Jeanneau 33i

The Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 33i was introduced in late 2011/early 2012 replacing Jeanneau’s earlier 32 & 32i small cruisers. Like the 32 & 32i models the 33i has a remarkably spacious interior for her size, but is slightly larger benefiting from over a foot of additional legnth in comparison to the earlier 32 & 32i models. The 33i makes an ideal yacht for a smaller family providing two double cabins. It therefore permits ‘Mum & Dad up front’ with one or two children sharing the stern cabin or two couples sharing

Jeanneau 389

The Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 389 is a recent addition to Jeanneau’s range of cruising yachts being released in 2015. Like the 35, 36i and 379 models, the 389 offers 3 double cabins and thanks to the redesigned transom and hull shape has a remarkably spacious interior for her length. The Sun Odyssey 389 follows the interior design of the other new generation ‘xx9’ Sun Odyssey yachts and provides a light and comfortable interior. Like all the Sun Odysseys, the 389 is a fast and seaworthy cruising yacht and an excellent choice for comfortable family cruising

Jeanneau 439

The Sun Odyssey 439 is a large cruising yacht providing spacious and comfortable accommodation for two families or group of 8 or 10 adults. Accommodation is in four cabins providing eight permanent berths with two ‘heads’. The main cabin can also provide two additional berths if required although we do not recommend these other than for children. At 43’ the Sun Odyssey 439 is a spacious four-cabin yacht and consequently provides a lot of internal space. She can be sailed by a couple, although being larger with more sail area, a larger crew allows work to be shared and gives more hands when mooring.
