CV Yachts · Base Information
One of Greece's largest marinas, just 15 km from the heart of Athens — your ideal starting point for the Aegean.
About the Base
Alimos Marina is one of the largest marinas in Greece, with over 1,000 permanent berths. Located on the southwest coast of Athens, it sits just 15 km from the city centre, 8 km south of Piraeus, and 30 km from Athens International Airport.
The marina is served by a dense network of trams, buses, and taxis, with stops just 500 metres away — making it one of the most accessible sailing departure points in the country.

A refundable security deposit is required on embarkation as specified in your contract, payable in cash or by VISA / Mastercard. This is returned in full upon inspection of the yacht at disembarkation.
In place of the full deposit, you may opt for a damage waiver — a non-refundable fee that reduces your liability in case of damage to €650. A refundable portion of €750 is returned at disembarkation. Obligatory for skippered and crewed charters.
Any extras specified in your charter contract are settled at base, payable in cash or by bank transfer alongside the charter fee.
