We've just added something rather special to our Greek charter fleet — and frankly, the timing couldn't be better. The brand-new catamaran ALTHEA, a pristine 2026 Fountaine Pajot Aura 51, is offering an exceptional 15% discount for summer charters. But here's the catch: you need to book by April 15th.
We think ALTHEA represents everything we love about modern catamaran design. At just under 16 metres, she's perfectly sized for intimate groups — up to 10 guests across five elegant double cabins, each with queen beds and private en-suites. No cramped quarters or awkward sleeping arrangements here.
Why This Greek Island Charter Stands Out
What strikes us most about ALTHEA is her thoughtful layout. The Fountaine Pajot Aura 51 design maximises space brilliantly, creating genuine privacy between cabins while maintaining those airy, light-filled common areas that make catamarans so appealing. Full air-conditioning throughout means comfort even during those sultry August afternoons in the Cyclades.
The galley deserves special mention — fully equipped and positioned to make meal preparation a social affair rather than a chore. We've sailed enough charter catamarans to know that kitchen functionality can make or break a week at sea, and ALTHEA gets it right.
The Numbers That Matter
Let's talk about this Easter discount, because the savings are genuinely substantial:
- May & October: €17,000 (down from €20,000)
- June & September: €18,700 (down from €22,000)
- July & August: €20,400 (down from €24,000)
That's €3,600 off peak season rates — enough to cover your flights and then some. But here's what we're seeing in our bookings: summer 2026 availability is already tightening, particularly for brand-new yachts like ALTHEA.
The Greek Charter Advantage
We're partial to Greek waters for private yacht charters, and ALTHEA's home base gives you exceptional access to the Ionian Islands. The sailing conditions here are reliably excellent — steady winds without being overwhelming, protected waters between islands, and that remarkable clarity that makes every anchorage feel like a private lagoon.
The two-person crew keeps things running smoothly without feeling intrusive. On a cat this size, you get proper service while maintaining that sense of freedom that defines the best luxury charter holidays.
The April 15th deadline isn't arbitrary marketing pressure — it reflects genuine demand for quality new builds in our charter fleet. We'd rather be direct about it: if you're considering a Greek island charter for summer 2026, now is the moment to commit. Easter weekend, specifically, tends to trigger a surge in luxury charter bookings as people start seriously planning their summer escapes.
ALTHEA represents that sweet spot in luxury catamaran charters — sophisticated enough for discerning guests, yet relaxed enough for families or friend groups who want to properly unwind. The 15% saving simply makes an excellent choice even more compelling.
