Kalamaki is considered by sailors and tourists as a distinct town separate from the other Greek towns and a great place to travel to on your Greece yacht charter. The truth is that this popular Mediterranean yacht charter destination is actually a contiguous district of Athens. It lies on the southeast section of the city and is known to have one the most sprawling marinas in all of Greece.
Because of its close proximity to Athens and being the primary point of entry of most tourists to the region, Kalamaki easily comes off as the chosen destination for superyachts and charter yachts.

The main appeal of Kalamaki is its enormous size. This makes it possible for the marina to accommodate more luxury yachts and even superyachts than any other marinas in Greece. This is the reason why many superyachts make Kalamaki the first stop and jump off point for their Greek cruise. Within Kalamaki, you will also find Marina Alomas, which is a short 15- minute drive from another important Greek port – the Port of Piraeus.
Another reason why Kalamaki is the perfect starting point for your yacht charter holiday is that it features an array of shops and establishments that carry all the necessary supplies and items that you will need for your yacht rental.

Client Testimonials
What our clients say about their charter experience.
Thank you to all of the amazing crew and our captain because it was you all who made this trip so special. I'm so thankful to have had this experience, and I hope I will be able to do it again! (…) What an incredible week! The islands, the boat and the food were outstanding, but the crew is what truly made our trip so special! Thank you for spoiling us. Can't wait for the next visit. Cheers. (…) Thank you for a wonderful trip that we all will remember for a long time. OMNIA is a beautiful yacht, but the key to our adventure was the crew! You all did an amazing job that made this the best trip ever! (…) We have been planning a trip to Greece for many years, and now have actually made it! What an amazing way to see a new country! The crew was outstanding - thank you all!
Hello Colin, Congrats, best crew ever. No remarks, all was perfect and the crew was a plus for the all journey, we could not have a more available and friendly crew. All water toys were always available in the water.
Colin, we loved it, loved the crew, the whole experience. We had a blast! The boat was a hit with the whole family, including our daughters, who were afraid of seasickness, so it worked out well!
Working with our charter broker, Trina Howes, was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. Her knowledge, professionalism and responsiveness were exceptional. She made the entire charter planning process effortless and took the time to understand exactly what we were looking for and matched us with the perfect yacht and crew. We cannot say enough wonderful things about the incredible crew who made our yacht charter such an unforgettable experience. From the moment we stepped aboard until the very last goodbye, they made us feel genuinely welcomed, cared for, and completely at home. Every member of the crew went above and beyond to ensure every detail was perfect- from exceptional meals and impeccable service to thoughtful surprises and personalized touches that made our trip feel truly special. Our overall experience was absolutely wonderful. We look forward to hopefully working together again on future adventures!
The crew was awesome (5/5). They worked so well together and really seemed to enjoy working together. They took care of our every need and then some. The cuisine was amazing (5/5). The chef was excellent and had a broad range of cuisine. The country kitchen setup gave us a greater opportunity to interact with the chef, which was a really nice feature. The yacht's interior was immaculate (5/5), and the condition of the yacht was like new (5/5). We absolutely loved the layout, especially the indoor/outdoor option of the bar area on the top deck, and we loved the décor. The amenities onboard were excellent (5/5), with everything we needed and more. We particularly enjoyed the floating chairs and the beach chairs, and we had two great fishing trips - Bo and Hunter were fantastic on those outings. The only suggestion we would make is that the outside aft top deck was always in full sun. We would have used it much more if there had been some type of awning, similar to the one they have for the bow sitting area. We discussed this with the captain on Saturday, and he had already ordered it by Sunday! We would absolutely recommend Indigo and her crew to others. Although the yacht sleeps eight, we would recommend no more than six adults. If there are two to four children, then eight guests could work comfortably. As for your service, we honestly cannot think of a single thing you could have done differently or better to ensure the ultimate yachting vacation. You went so far above and beyond. Thank you!
Best trip yet! As always, the crew has gone above and beyond. 12 out of 10 across the board. Best trip yet!
