Sailing on a catamaran in Mykonos

Mykonos is a fabulous sailing destination in the Mediterranean. Particularly popular with celebrities and people with money, the island is one of the best destinations for luxury private beaches, glamorous parties and lots of history. A catamaran charter in Mykonos allows you to explore the island at your own pace and in style.

The pros of renting a catamaran in Mykonos

A catamaran rental in Mykonos is the perfect choice for anyone who just wants to relax and escape their everyday worries for a week. There is plenty of space on deck to stretch your legs and sunbathe. Catamarans are generally bigger than other types of boats due to the way they are constructed and standing on two hulls.

Rent a catamaran in Mykonos if you want to enjoy a boat holiday that comes with plenty of flexibility. Catamarans are equipped with a sail as well as an engine. You can choose how you want to move forward depending on the weather conditions and your personal preferences.

Another great thing about a catamaran hire in Mykonos is the fact that catamarans offer more stability than other types of boats and feel a lot less shaky. They are standing on two hulls, so when the wind suddenly picks up you won’t feel it as much as would on a monohull.

Mykonos has plenty of amazing beaches to choose from, including Psarou Beach just south of Mykonos town and Paradise Beach, a popular location for summer parties. A catamaran allows you to easily access these beaches and more as they come with a shallow draft. It could also be a great idea to escape the crowds and explore other Greek islands that are close by, like Delos or Tinos.

The cons of renting a catamaran in Mykonos

What kind of boat licence do I need when renting a catamaran in Mykonos?
