About This Experience

Beneteau First 53 Izanami is a magnificent sailing yacht offering an unparalleled experience of tranquility in the Aegean Sea. Built in 2022, 17.12m length, 5m beam, with 3 double cabins, 3 heads and a crew cabin. Sleek design with state-of-the-art amenities including air conditioning, generator, water maker, bow thruster, solar panels, teak deck, seabob, wakeboard, SUP and Wi-Fi. Professional crew of two ensures every detail is taken care of. Charter base: Lavrion.

Beneteau First 53 Izanami — Crewed Sailing Yacht Charter is built around your dates and sailing experience. Rhodes is an ideal charter base for the Dodecanese: short hops to Symi and Halki or longer legs toward Kos and Patmos when the Meltemi allows. We match yacht type, bareboat versus skippered, and provisioning level before you commit a deposit.

Allow a full morning for check-in, inventory and a weather briefing on embarkation day. Provisioning runs are easier the day before you sail. Keep passports handy for customs if your route leaves Greek waters.

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers about this experience. For booking, weather and general boat questions see the full FAQ.

How do I book this experience?

Send a booking request on this page or contact us with your preferred date and group size. We confirm availability with the operator, usually within a few hours. July and August departures need at least one week ahead for shared cruises. Your confirmation includes meeting point, time and what to bring.

Do I need a sailing licence for a bareboat charter?

Bareboat charter requires a recognised sailing licence (ICC, RYA or equivalent) plus a short experience resume. If unsure, choose a skippered charter and let a professional captain handle navigation.

What should I bring on the day?

Swimwear, towel, high-SPF sunscreen, hat and sunglasses. Soft-soled shoes work best on deck; bring a light layer for the return trip. Take seasickness tablets before longer crossings if needed. Leave bulky luggage at your hotel.

What happens if the weather is bad?

If conditions are unsafe, the operator reschedules during your stay or refunds according to their policy. Symi crossings and sunset trips may move when wind is strong. See our FAQ page for general weather guidance.
