Mykonos

Mykonos is renowned worldwide for its glamorous beach clubs, vibrant nightlife, and picturesque whitewashed architecture. But there's another side to this cosmopolitan island that most visitors never experience - the serene beauty of its coastline, best discovered from the deck of a catamaran.

While thousands of tourists crowd the famous beaches of Paradise, Super Paradise, and Psarou during peak season, your catamaran opens the door to a different Mykonos entirely. The island's northern and eastern coasts hide pristine coves and secluded beaches that remain virtually untouched, accessible only by sea. Places like Fokos Beach, with its golden sand and turquoise waters, or the dramatic rock formations of Kapari Bay, offer the kind of tranquility that seems impossible on such a popular island.

A anchorage away from the crowds

The Lagoon 42 catamaran is particularly well-suited for the Aegean Sea around Mykonos. During summer months, the famous Meltemi winds blow from the north, creating ideal sailing conditions but sometimes choppy seas for monohulls. The catamaran's dual-hull design provides exceptional stability, ensuring comfortable passage even when the wind picks up. Your guests can relax on the spacious trampolines between the hulls, feeling the spray of the sea while enjoying a smooth, stable ride.

Beyond comfort, the catamaran's shallow draft allows you to anchor much closer to shore than traditional yachts, making swimming access effortless. Drop anchor in crystal-clear waters, lower the swim ladder, and dive directly into the Aegean. The wide deck space means everyone aboard has room to sunbathe, dine al fresco, or simply enjoy the panoramic views without feeling cramped.

Mykonos's strategic location at the heart of the Cyclades makes it an ideal base for island hopping. A short sail southwest brings you to Delos, the mythological birthplace of Apollo and one of Greece's most significant archaeological sites. Just beyond lies Rhenia, an uninhabited island with some of the most pristine beaches in the entire Aegean. Your catamaran gives you the freedom to explore these neighboring islands at your own pace, returning to Mykonos Town in the evening for world-class dining and nightlife.

Most windmills face north, where the island receives its strongest winds for most of the year.

The flexibility of catamaran travel transforms your vacation from a rigid schedule into a fluid adventure. Wake up to a quiet morning swim in a secluded bay, sail to Mykonos Town for lunch and shopping, explore the archaeological wonders of Delos in the afternoon, then anchor off a peaceful beach to watch the sunset with cocktails in hand. Unlike land-based accommodations, your floating villa moves with you, eliminating the hassle of packing, checking out, and finding new hotels.

Perhaps most importantly, experiencing Mykonos by catamaran offers something increasingly rare in modern travel - the ability to disconnect and find peace, even in one of the Mediterranean's busiest destinations. While the beach clubs pulse with music and the narrow streets of Mykonos Town fill with crowds, you can retreat to your private sanctuary on the water, surrounded by nothing but the Aegean Sea and endless blue skies.
