GOLDEN ODYSSEUS

Golden Odysseus is an ocean-going Skipper 53 that comes with her own skipper and hostess. She is an elegant yacht and, although slightly older than our other two yachts (she was built in 1994), she has recently been refurbished and has a large, comfortable interior, and spacious teak decks for sunbathing and relaxing. Golden Odysseus offers the chance to experience 'bigger boat sailing' at reasonable cost, even if you have never sailed before.

Golden Odysseus is owned and crewed by Kostas and Kate, who take real pride in their yacht and look after their guests extremely well. Kostas is the skipper and, as hostess, Kate does the shopping and cooks breakfast and lunch; she will also cook dinner if you would like to dine on board. So you can be as hands on or as laid back as you like. 

There are four double cabins, each with its own en suite head and shower, and a skipper cabin with its own separate entrance.

The large comfortable saloon has seating for 12 and has a flat screen TV, DVD player, music system with speakers both below and on deck, and a Wi-fi connection. The galley kitchen has full cooking facilities, including two fridges, an oven, hob and microwave. Bed linen, towels, and pillows are provided.  

The cockpit has a large bimini sunshade, bathing platform, swim ladder and deck shower. Snorkelling and fishing equipment are provided and the dinghy is equipped with an outboard motor.

The Cost: Prices are available on application but, as a guide, the weekly charter fee ranges from £3,150 in May, early June, September and October to £4,600 in late July and August. Food, drinks, fuel and port fees are not included.

Golden Odysseus can also sometimes be chartered for periods of less than a week. Prices are available on application but, as a guide, the daily charter fee ranges from £600 to £750.

Day Trips: Day trips (maximum capacity 10 persons) from 10.00 to 18.00 are also sometimes available at short notice, in which case the charter fee of 600 euros (to be paid locally) includes the services of the skipper and hostess, fuel, gourmet snacks, wine and soft drinks. For a daily charter fee of 700 euros, full lunch cooked on board is also included, and for a fee of 800 euros, the charter can be extended to 21.30 and also includes cocktails. Day trips from Corfu Town normally go up to Kassiopi and the pretty bays opposite the coast of Albania before returning via Vidos Island if sailing conditions are good. Trips from Paxos might go round Paxos and Anti Paxos stopping off in secluded bays, or across to Sivota Mourtas or Parga on the coast of Epirus, if sailing conditions are good. If you are interested in a day trip while holidaying on Paxos or Corfu, then please contact us.

As Golden Odysseus comes with her own skipper, no previous sailing experience is required.

Other Yachts: We can also offer two other yachts. Commitment II is a Sun Odyssey 52.2 built in 2002 and is a spacious yacht offering real luxury and style. The guide price for a week’s charter, including the skipper, is £5,500 - £7,000 and the guide price for two days' charter is £2,200 - £2,800. The Bavaria 41 is ideal for smaller groups or for anyone wanting to enjoy sailing for a couple of days while still retaining the comfort of their own villa.The guide price is £350 - £550 a day, or £450 - £700 if a skipper is required.
