Cyclades 50.5 sailing yacht – Athens

Yacht Overview

We’ve advised many guests in Athens, and the Cyclades 50.5 is exactly the kind of sailboat that fits a smooth charter experience in Greece. This 15.62 m sailing yacht is based in Athens, and from our experience it’s a practical choice for groups that want comfort, easy handling, and a confident feel on the water.

The vessel was built in 2008 and is arranged with 6 cabins, providing sleeping space for up to 12 guests in cabins. With 4 toilets onboard, day-to-day living stays comfortable even when everyone is out exploring. We recommend it for charter or rental because the layout supports relaxed cruising without feeling crowded.

On the equipment side, we’ve noticed owners and crews appreciate the “hands-off” stability options. You’ll find autopilot for calmer passages, plus a bow thruster that makes maneuvering in the harbor much easier. There’s also an electric anchor windlass, which saves time when anchoring after a long swim stop. For navigation, the GPS chart plotter is installed in the cockpit, so route planning feels straightforward.

Inside comfort matters too. Guests who have trusted us often mention the air conditioning and electric fans in the cabins, especially during warmer days around Attica. Hot water is available for everyday routines.

We also like the thoughtful touches: a bimini top for shade, a sprayhood, roll genoa for sail handling, and full battens on the main sail for dependable performance. In the cockpit, teak finishing and outside speakers create that “one more hour” atmosphere—just ask our past guests!
