Yacht Service Hub
A fully equipped, fully staffed boatyard is situated within our main hub, the Olympic Marine, making it the only marina in Athens to offer complete boat, yacht and sailboat repair, and refit services. With a permanent staff of highly skilled workers of various specialties, specialized contractors, and a ship-building team that has been winning awards for their refits, our company is more than ready to handle everything a boat owner may need, from a time-sensitive repair during your sailing route, to winterisation, to a complete boat refit before a new season exploration.

Winterisation Services
If you are not using your boat over winter, you will need to protect your investment against the elements. Engines are designed to be used and need to be carefully prepared for long periods of time sitting idle in cold temperatures. It is also worth remembering that many insurance policies will not cover damage done by lack of maintenance.
Yachts left uncared for over the winter will quickly deteriorate causing all manner of issues when you come to go sailing again in the Spring. Don’t let your yacht suffer from neglect over the winter months. Our team uses a checklist including every task at hand so you can be informed at all times about the progress!
Our services include:
- Sails & Covers
- Mast & Standing Rigging
- Ropes and Running Rigging
- Winterizing the engine and outdrive
- Winterizing the fuel system
- Winterizing freshwater systems
- Preparing the batteries for storage
- Removing (or covering) deck furniture
- Exterior wash
Paperwork Services
- Individual passports of all crew members are inspected on entry into Greece aboard a yacht, as is the case on departure with the same yacht. If leaving or arriving by other means (e.g. by air or ferry), documents will be inspected by Immigration at the point of arrival/exit and any visa (if required) date stamped.
- All non-EU yachts must clear in with the port police, Customs, Health, Immigration and Currency Control on arrival. The ship’s papers – including detailed crew list – will be inspected by the port police and cruising tax levied as detailed below.
- EU-registered yachts need only report to the port police office at their first port of call with their documents and pay the cruising tax as detailed below. Proof of VAT payment may be required but in practice is rarely asked for.
- Yachts must carry their original registration documents and ship’s radio station licence – one member of the crew must be in possession of a certificate to operate the radio/VHF
- The original insurance certificate and a Greek translation showing Third Party insurance with the amounts in figures need to be produced. These minimum amounts are:
- 293,470 EURO liability for death or injury by sinking, collision or other cause for crew and third parties,
- 146,753 EURO for damage,
- 88,041 EURO for pollution.
- The skipper should have an International Certificate of Competence (although in practice this is rarely requested)
- For non-EU citizens, nights should be spent on board (not in hotels ashore, etc) – if not, the Harbour Master and the Immigration officer should be notified
- The registered yacht owner/skipper should be on board. If handing the boat’s command to someone else, ensure that the proper documentation is obtained from the Port Police
- Fishing is only allowed with a snorkel in certain areas. Fishing with scuba gear is prohibited
- To protect archaeological sites, scuba diving is restricted – permission should be sought locally
- Chartering by foreign yachts is now allowed, but the vessel must be inspected and certificated according to Greek law, a process that involves a huge amount of red tape
