Veronica

SAIL THE SARONIC GULF & CYCLADES ON A LIKE-NEW BAVARIA CRUISER 46 Veronica is a 4-cabin Bavaria Cruiser 46 (2017) based at Alimos Marina, Athens, 40 minutes from the airport – the ideal starting point for the Saronic Gulf (Aegina, Agistri, Poros, Hydra, Spetses) and the Cyclades.

Veronica can stay up to 10 days away from shore power, so you can anchor in the quiet bays instead of chasing marina sockets. BAREBOAT OR WITH SKIPPER A valid sailing licence is required for bareboat charter. We also offer a professional skipper, a hostess and a "skipper + sailing lessons" option for crews who want to learn while on holiday. Airport transfers and tickets for the Ancient Theatre of Epidaurus (summer festival) can be arranged. OUR SECOND BASE: SALAMINA – THE OPTION OUR GUESTS ASKED FOR Our main base is Alimos Marina. We also have a second base at Vourkari Marina on Salamina, just 25 minutes / 14 km from Alimos. In 2026 many of our guests chose it – and several asked for it specifically – to avoid the traffic and queues of Alimos, and they loved it. If you prefer it too, we arrange the transfer from Alimos and you get: • FREE early check-in – board as soon as you arrive • Freedom to come back to the boat whenever you like • FREE provisioning – we deliver your supermarket shopping on board • Free extra services • No marina traffic: you cast off and come back immediately • A shorter route to the Saronic islands, which gives you a full extra day of sailing • A quiet island that only locals know, with hidden beaches The Salamina option is normally charged 250 € extra – for all 2027 bookings it is FREE. The choice is entirely yours. LONG CHARTERS – UP TO 20% OFF Planning more than 2 weeks on board? Charters of 2 weeks or longer get a discount of up to 20% – send us a message and we will prepare a personalised offer.
