Athenian Yachts Omdömen 

We used Athenian Yachts for our trip because they had newer boats which we thoroughly enjoyed for our trip! Despite being newer it still had a not insignificant amount of wear and tear on it so we carefully went through and photographed everything we found the first day.

On our return, they held us at the dock for hours after check-in to go over everything and despite us not damaging anything throughout our week-long trip, they came back with a ridiculously long list of nickel and dimed damages that we did not create. Thankfully we had photographed most of what they came up with but they still tried to argue with us, and still came back with 4 items that we did not catch the first day that they wanted an extra $1500 for! Unbelievable considering we did not know the equipment in question was even equipped!

Total scam show, be prepared for a miserable check out experience that drags on for hours!

Absolute scam of a company. Every skipper on the dock was being charged obscene amounts for damages that were either pre-existing, or wear and tear. Complete abuse of power. No assistance to repair problems before the boat is taken out either, so you live with the issues the whole rental, and are then charged for them on your return.

We had a wonderful week with our flotilla of 6 boats chartered at Lavrio. The technical problem we had with one of them (windlass broken) was solved in less than 24 hours, despite being far away from the charter base in Lavrio.
Thanks to George, Alex and the whole crew!

Attention to the Athenian Yachts of KOS !!!
In the 15 days of renting the Dalion sailboat we had serious problems due to lack of maintenance of the batteries, whose contacts were oxidized.
The engine of the windlass, after about ten days of sailing upwind with waves entering the bow, stopped working; not to mention the mainsail which when we opened it for the first time on the first day of navigation had a hook that fixed it to the mast partially detached and two others partially eroded. We had to stop in Leros and wait a day and a half for them to be fixed.
At the end on the twelfth day not even the engine of the boat started, luckily we were in port.We had to clean all the contacts of the batteries, full of oxidation dust and return to KOS one day earlier, no longer having the possibility of anchoring and with the engine running of breakdowns. Fortunately, everything had taken place near the port of Leros. I wonder what risks we would have run for the boat and for the crew if it had happened at sea.
The serious thing is that the maintenance manager of the Athenian Yachts of KOS, while on our return they had all been very kind and understanding with us so much that they asked us for a report on what happened to compensate for the days lost for repairs, once we returned. in Italy, he drew up a report falsely blaming us for any inconvenience.
The intervention of ZIZOO company in the matter did not produce any concrete results and so they charged us all the repair costs, sweetening the pill with the proposal of a 5% discount and 600 euros on a subsequent charter with them. Let alone do another charter in KOS with Athenian Yachts with such a not reliable maintenance manager.
We realized that even the Zizoo, beyond the fine words, had no bargaining force in this matter. I was interested in a lawyer from Athens, a friend of my niece, but for the 1023 euros withheld on the deposit I paid, after a month of discussions with Athenian Yachts I decided not to take a legal case, the game is not worth the candle. Good luck to you.

The affair ended with partial recognition of compensation by Athenian Yachts (discount of about 600 euros on the 1000 previously retained with the deposit) thanks to the services of Zizoo in the person of Monica, who patiently and persevered pursued our reasons. in the diatribe, demonstrating an uncommon availability, kindness and professionalism towards us.
We were very happy with the support provided, so much so that we will gladly continue to use Zizoo for our next sailing boat rentals.

We can't say enought about the whole process of booking a charter with Athenian Yachts....from the start of our search for a catamaran....to boarding & sailing...and finishing at Alimos Marina. The process of getting information during the booking process - was always quick and accurate. We stayed just down the road from Alimos Marina at Poseidon Hotel, and easily did our provisioning at the good size grocery store located right next door. It was a short walk to the marina from there....but the grocery store delivered right to the yacht at boarding time. The support staff who did our briefings and post-charter checks were excellent! They beat the competition hands-down - we were set to book with another company and changed to Athenian Yachts primarily due to their responsiveness. The yacht was very well maintained, and the galley outfitted very well....the freezer & refrigeration space was great. The counter-top ice maker helped supplement our ice during the week so that we only had to buy a couple of bags at the beginning of the charter. The yacht was easily sailed from the helm station....with all control lines within easy reach. All in all - it was the best bareboat company we've worked with....and we won't hesitate to come back and sail other areas of Greece! Thank you to the staff of Athenian Yachts from Team Greece Is The Word!

This is not the first time I rent a yacht from you, it won't be the last either, everything was just smooth and comfortable, receiving the boat was excellent, all the equipment on the boat was in order, the company staff are simply lovely people.

All I will say is: excellent service from Athenian, Kostas and Mr. Nikos Barbaressos!

- vessel was not clean on delivery
- tender motor would not start
- support from Athenium when toilet was blocked was excellent
- linen needs to include beach towels

Nice boat, nice people, great experience
