NEW HORIZONS 3 — 17m Bali Catamarans for Charter in Greece
Charter destination
Lefkas, Greece
About this yacht
NEW HORIZONS 3 is a 2019 Bali Catamarans catamaran offering a rare combination of generous space and thoughtful design for groups and families seeking to explore the Greek islands. At 17 meters in length, she accommodates ten guests across five cabins—four doubles and one twin—each with ensuite facilities, allowing for both privacy and the sociable atmosphere that defines a successful group charter. Her design philosophy prioritizes connection: a walk-through from aft to foredeck grants seamless access to multiple outdoor entertaining spaces, while a generous foredeck features a substantial shaded dining table ideal for al fresco meals and a forward-facing lounge area that captures both views and breezes while underway.
The yacht's distinctive blue hull stands out among the Cyclades fleet, and her practical refinements speak to genuine cruising comfort. A hydraulic gangplank facilitates easy boarding, full air-conditioning ensures respite during Greece's warm months, and the Master cabin boasts a hydromassage shower—a detail that elevates the onboard experience. The generous cockpit accommodates twelve guests around a single table, creating an inviting hub for shared dinners and conversation beneath evening skies. Throughout her spaces, both interior and exterior, NEW HORIZONS 3 balances open-plan socializing with the quiet retreats that guests value after active days of swimming, exploring, and discovery.
Based in Lefkas in the Ionian region, the yacht operates throughout the Greek islands with a professional crew of three who attend to all aspects of charter operations. She was refreshed with new exterior fabrics in 2024, maintaining her appearance and functionality. The vessel operates year-round, with summer availability centered in Athens and Lefkas, and winter operations based in Athens, making her accessible for extended Mediterranean exploration across seasons.
Charter the NEW HORIZONS 3 and experience the voluminous comfort of a modern Bali catamaran designed for groups who value both sociable gathering spaces and genuine luxury. Whether anchored in the Ionian's sheltered bays or island-hopping through the Cyclades, she offers the stability, space, and professional service that define memorable family and friendship charters in Greece's most sought waters. Weekly rates range from €19,500 to €29,000 depending on season.

What is included in the charter rate for NEW HORIZONS 3?+
The weekly rate covers the yacht itself, her crew of 3, insurance, and use of the onboard equipment and water toys. Fuel, food and beverages, berthing and port fees, and shore excursions are paid from the APA, and VAT is charged on the base rate. APA (Advance Provisioning Allowance) is typically around 40% of the base rate, held by the captain and accounted for in full — unspent balance is refunded at disembarkation. Greek charter VAT varies by yacht and by charter, broadly between 5.2% and 24%, depending on the yacht's type, size and certification, the duration of the charter, whether it passes through international waters, and whether the yacht carries permanent professional crew. We confirm the applicable rate for NEW HORIZONS 3 before you sign. Crew gratuity is separate and discretionary, customarily 10–15% of the base rate.
When is the best time to charter NEW HORIZONS 3?+
NEW HORIZONS 3 charters from €19,000 per week in low season and €29,000 in high season — a difference of about 53% between the two. In Greece, July and August are peak: the most settled weather, the busiest anchorages, and the highest rates. Late May, June, and September offer warm water and quieter islands at the low-season rate, and are what we most often recommend. The meltemi wind is strongest in July and August across the Cyclades, which is worth weighing if sea state matters to your party.
