Description of Pierre's catamaran
Catamaran Fountaine Pajot Astréa 42 12m
__________________________________________ THE BOAT MUST BE BACK IN THE BASE BY FRIDAY EVENING, BEFORE CHECK-OUT ON SATURDAY __________________________________________ Hello, And thank for taking a look at Wild Baleine, my Fountaine Pajot Astrea 42 (2019), located in Lavrio (Airport = Athens). The Boat is with 4 double Cabins, each cabin has its own electric WC / shower + 2 single cabins So all together, the maximal capacity on bord is : 8 persons adultes (in double cabin) + 2 teenager / children (in single cabin). Trampoline, a lounge, a sun / fly deck near the cockpit, its 360° saloon... should give you plenty of space for activities like sunbathing, a dip into the water, brunch in the shadow, or just relaxing under the Greek warm sun, enjoying the blue water. For info: Wild Baleine has also a heating, for early / late season. You and your beloved ones will comfortably enjoy this spacious catamaran. Lavrio is 30 minutes from Athens Airport. I can organize a taxi. Lavrio is a lovely small town. The Olympic marina is a just outside Lavrio. From Lavrio, our first night may be on anchor at Cap Sounio, under the Poseidon Temple, enjoying the sunset and taking the dinghy (a whaly, very stable) to one of the restaurants direct at the beach. In the morning, we sail gently to an island, looking for our private spot to set the anchor, and enjoy blue water life. Or on our way to Nauplius to visit the old Greek capital. I won't sail to Mikonos, as Mikonos is a nice island, but much too crowdy and noisy, believe me. The harbour is always full and far away from town, and there is no way to sleep on anchor at a beach, while differents bars are in a competition for the loadest music till 5 in the morning. Not fun.

We had a fantastic time on the boat. 4 adult couples and a fantastic captain... Good storage (let's face it.. you'll be sailing... you don't need that much)... and good storage capacity for food etc.. Spacious... Shower is a bit small for us who are larger than average.. but.. no problem ;-) Highly recommended!!
Mikael is a charter-customer, like I wish they would be more of it: Friendly, he send pictures and message from the boat while on Board, and he send thanks message afterwards. We provide a skipper: They got well together. Sure we provide a great skipper, but a great skipper is nothing without a great crew. It seems that it was the case. And that are all the recepients we all need for a great sailing holiday. All my best wishes to Mikael for futur sail.

Hello, I m french. I was born near Lyon, then studied in Paris. I leaved a few years in Hong Kong, then 25 years in Austria, before coming to Greece for sailing. Now i m moving between Greece where I sail, Austria where my kids are , and between France where i have still lot of friends and relatives. I was in business. I was General Manager of a company, that grew from 90 employees to 650 employees. Then Burnout: I changed life. Now i m taking care of my 2 catamarans in Greece: Blue Baleine a Nautitech 40 and Wild Baleine a Fountaine Pajot 42, brand new. Those 2 catamarans are just nice to sail. and nice to live on. I learn sailing with Glenans in Bretagne, with no engine, no GPS, no WC, ... just some kind of old wooden sailingboats. Grew up doing some race training between England and France, as a young adult. I rent boat with my kids, till i bought a few year ao, my own first Boat: a cruising catamaran. Lately i skipped my Fountaine Pajot from La Rochelle (F) till Athen (Gr) through Gilbraltar. 3 weeks of great adventure. I have austrian sailing licence typ IV (off shore). I m still doing some sailing course from time to time. Last training: survival at sea for off shore race. I have been in situation between France and England that can be considered as heavy. I m not looking for such situation. Even if one can handle it, it is also about the security of the crew, of the boat or of others boat. Even on a catamaran, getting out of the harbour can develop to a difficult situation. And outside at see, you can have somebody flying on the deck after a big wave, that can hurt himself with the landing on the deck. or even worth, if the landing is outside the boat. So even if I can cope with such situtation, I way prefer to avoid getting into such situation. There is lot of wind in sommer in Greece. Every body want to get out and sail. It is sometime better to stay in, and enjoy a drink in the harbour or on anchor, or do some shopping. This decision to sail or not to sail is the skipper's decision. It is not an easy one. Please respect the skipper's decision. You may have great sailing knowledge yourself. But it is also a matter of responsablility against the crew, boat, the others boat, and the next customers. Also as a general Manager, there are some decision that look easy, but carrying the responsability bring it to a different matter. At least, it should be that way. On my boat, or on others boat, I wish you a nice and smooth holidays, while sailing. Pierre
