Oceanis 48 sailing yacht – Athens

Yacht Overview

We’ve supported many discerning guests in Athens, and we can say with confidence that the Oceanis 48 (built in 2015) is one of the most elegant sailboats for a charter or rental on the Aegean. From our experience, it strikes a rare balance: refined comfort below decks, yet a calm, confident feel at the helm. It’s a sailboat designed for people who want the journey to feel effortless—especially when the light is soft and the coastline turns cinematic.

With space for up to 10 guests in 5 cabins, the layout works beautifully for families and small groups who still value privacy. We observed that the cabin rhythm makes day-to-day living feel natural: everyone can settle in, freshen up, and enjoy evenings together without crowding. There are 3 toilets, which matters more than most people expect—sudden mornings and post-swim returns go much smoother when facilities are well planned.

At 14.6 meters in length and 4.74 meters in width, this Oceanis 48 feels substantial without being cumbersome. Our guests often tell us the cockpit is where the atmosphere changes—bimini top overhead, a sheltered cockpit shower after a swim, and a practical cockpit table for that “one more minute” pause before dinner.

From our knowledge, the onboard experience is also supported by thoughtful navigation and safety equipment. You’ll find a GPS plotter, radar, autopilot, and an echosounder for smarter decision-making. For peace of mind, the boat is equipped with an EPIRB distress radio beacon and a distress flare box.

And yes, the bathing platform invites you to arrive by water, not just by route. We recommend planning a few swim stops near Athens—then letting the tender handle the last stretch with ease. What a day feels like, really!
