Archipel Cabin Charters
There are two ways to enjoy sailing on one of Archipel's modern Catamarans:
The Cabin Charter is for individuals, or groups that are smaller than required to charter the entire yacht.
If you are a small group, a couple or on your own, this is the right formula for you. This concept allows you to be a guest on a large sailing yacht without having to assemble a party for chartering a whole boat, to meet new people while retaining your privacy thanks to our independently accessed cabins and their private bathrooms.
Sailing experience is not required. However, each person may actively participate in sailing under the supervision of the skipper. He will be your guide, translator and advisor as well as affecting group dynamics in order to ensure you a hassle free vacation.
Both the Cabin Charter and the Catamaran Charter have two formulas to choose from for the trip.
Active Formula:
OUR GUESTS FULLY PARTICIPATE IN LIFE ON BOARD. While enjoying the sea and sun you will be involved in all tasks of everyday life on board, up to handling the yacht itself if you so wish. A common kitty will be collected to pay for meals on board or at taverns, excursions, port dues, water, fuel and the skipper's meals. Final cleanup could be taken over against a fee. Special discounts are available for children.
Cozy Formula:
SKIPPER AND STEWARD TAKE OVER ALL THE DUTIES: Navigating, cleaning, cooking, maintaining and operating the yacht as well as entertaining their guests. The guests are welcome to take part in handling the yacht, if they wish!
Archipel Catamaran Charters

Archipel Catamarans are new, large and sophisticated. Which requires expertise for navigating and docking safely.
For these reasons, Archipel catamarans are always chartered with a crew. Professional skippers have undergone specific training before being declared able to handle and maintain the catamarans. While being unobtrusive, their duty is to guide and assist you
Even if you are expert sailors, their detailed knowledge of the area will prove invaluable just as their intimate knowledge of the particular boat will take maintenance hassle off your shoulders.
The Sailing Catamarans

ARCHIPEL SKIPPERS ARE THE KEY TO OUR SUCCESS.
THESE MULTILINGUAL PROFESSIONALS are sailing enthusiasts who take pride at introducing their guests to the enthralling Aegean. Their presence warrant trouble free vacations and will make the best out of a novice crew.
ARCHIPEL ALWAYS CHARTERS YACHTS WITH A CREW: these new catamarans are large and sophisticated. On top of that, the windy Aegean being devoid of marina facilities, navigating and docking require expertise to be carried out safely. Professional skippers have undergone specific training before being declared able to handle and maintain our catamarans.
ARCHIPEL CREWS KNOW THEIR AREA like the back of their hands. They are also knowledgeable with the local history and traditions.
WE KEEP A CONSTANTLY UPDATED LIST OF THE BEST TAVERNAS and since we systematically patronize local businesses, that are open all-year-around, authenticity is very often synonymous with reasonable prices!There is at least one good taverna in each port and we know the unique specials that you should not miss. We find it so appalling when visitors to our country condemn themselves to the banality of the tourist fare usually on offer on harbour front establishments!
ARCHIPEL'S POLICY IS TO MAKE SAILING A PLEASANT EXPERIENCE FOR EVERYBODY. The skipper attempts to tailor each journey to the needs of his guests and is there to assist them in discovering the cruising lifestyle. He also encourages each individual to become part of the team. He will be your guide, translator and advisor as well as affecting group dynamics in order to ensure you hassle free vacations.
MALE OR FEMALE STEWARDS are hotel and catering experts specialized on yachts. Together with the skipper, they take over all the duties: navigating, cleaning, provisioning, cooking, maintaining and operating the yacht as well as entertaining their guests.
