ALOIA 80

She is a new sailing catamaran, and her decks suit the way a Greek charter tends to unfold: unhurried days moving between islands, with time to stop wherever the water looks inviting. Up top, the flybridge works as an open-air terrace with wide views across the sea. A forward cockpit adds a second, quieter place to sit with a book or watch the coastline slip past. When the breeze fills in, she sails. When it fades, guests can stretch out on the sunbeds and leave the rest to the crew.

Inside, the saloon is contemporary and generously proportioned. A TV and stereo are there for quieter evenings, along with board games and WiFi for anyone who needs to stay connected. The galley sits below, out of the way, so the living areas stay calm. Sleeping arrangements suit a family or a group of friends. There is an owner's suite and there are queen cabins, each with a private bathroom, so everyone has a retreat of their own at the end of the day.

Life aboard centres on the outdoor spaces. The aft cockpit is where meals tend to happen, with the BBQ and wet bar close at hand and the Fusion sound system setting the mood as the light softens over an anchorage. The Jacuzzi offers a warm soak after an afternoon in the water, and there is gym equipment for those who like to keep a routine. Among the crew are a captain and a chef, who shape the menu and the pace of each day around what guests enjoy.

For time in the water, the choice is wide. An E-foil, SeaBob, Jet Surf, Scuba jet and Wingfoil sit alongside the TIWAL Sailboat, kayak and paddleboard, which suit calmer mornings. Water skis, monoski, wakeboard and tube are towed behind the Williams Sportjet tender, which also runs guests ashore for a swim from the beach or a stroll through a village. Snorkeling equipment and a fishing rod complete the set. A clear, sheltered bay becomes as much a part of the charter as the islands themselves.
