M/S Daima

Daima is a 42.5 m motorsailer for up to 10 guests in five air-conditioned cabins, offered for motorsailer charter in Athens, Greece, with a professional crew of seven. Built in Turkey in 2009 and refitted in 2023, she combines a classic profile with sails, twin Caterpillar engines and generous deck space for alfresco dining and sunbathing.
The master cabin has a steam bath feature in its shower, and every stateroom has its own TV and DVD player. Air conditioning runs around the clock, so the cabins stay cool through the Greek summer. A long list of water toys, from jet skis and Seabobs to paddle boards and a paddle bike, keeps guests of every age busy in the bays. Daima suits families, friends celebrating together and corporate groups who want comfort, space and an easy rhythm of island days.

Daima’s interior mirrors the restraint of her exterior, with cool creams, muted metallics and tasteful furnishings. Ten guests share a saloon with a TV, a music system and a movie and music library, while the aft deck has its own TV for evenings outdoors. Her twin engines cruise at 10 knots, which suits the short crossings of the Saronic Gulf, and the sails offer a quieter option when the breeze is right. Routes are flexible, and our charter team will help you shape each day.

Life Aboard M/S Daima

Built by Arkin Pruva Argos Yachts and refitted in 2023, Daima is a motorsailer with a beam of 8.5 metres, which gives her wide, comfortable decks and a stable feel at anchor. A typical day moves between swim stops, shaded lunches and slow afternoons on deck, with long dinners outdoors once the sun drops. The aft deck is the natural gathering place, and it has its own TV for film nights or a big match.

Inside, the saloon gives the whole group a shared space when the weather or the mood calls for it. Wi-Fi keeps you connected for as long as you want to be, and the movie and music library means there is always something to put on. The tender is a 17-foot Castoldi waterjet with 160 hp, which makes shore visits quick and easy.

Cabins and Accommodation

Daima sleeps up to ten guests in five cabins, arranged so that couples, families and friends each have their own space. Every cabin is air-conditioned, and the system runs around the clock. Each stateroom has a TV and DVD player.

• Master cabin: one master cabin, with a steam bath feature in the shower for a proper unwind after a day in the sun and salt water.
• Double cabins: two double cabins, well suited to couples or friends sharing.
• Twin cabins: two twin cabins, convenient for children, teenagers or friends who prefer separate beds.

Crew and Service

A professional crew of seven looks after the yacht and her guests from embarkation to the final morning. An experienced chef prepares meals from fresh ingredients, and the crew takes care of the tender, the water toys and the daily rhythm of the cruise. Guests set the pace, whether that means a full day of activity or a quiet one on deck.

Water Toys and Leisure

Daima carries a wide collection of water toys for guests of different ages and abilities. Alongside the tender, you will find:

• a jet ski and a stand-up jet ski
• paddle boards and a paddle bike
• a canoe
• two Seabobs
• water skis and a mono ski
• snorkelling and fishing gear

Back on board, the decks are made for sunbathing and relaxed lunches.

Who Is Daima Ideal For?

Families and Multi-Generation Groups

Five cabins, two of them twins, make Daima a practical choice for several families sharing one yacht. The short hops of the Saronic Gulf mean children are never far from the next swim stop, and the range of water toys gives teenagers and adults plenty to do.

Friends’ Getaways and Celebrations

For a milestone birthday, a reunion or a private motorsailer charter with close friends, Daima offers generous deck space, shared dining outdoors and a saloon for the evenings. Ten guests fit comfortably, with room to spread out.

Young Groups on a Blue Voyage

Jet skis, Seabobs, paddle boards, water skis and a music system suit a lively group that wants to spend its days in the water. The aft deck and the master cabin’s steam bath balance the activity with proper recovery time.

Corporate Retreats and Team Charters

With ten berths in five cabins, air conditioning around the clock, Wi-Fi and a professional crew of seven, Daima gives a small team a comfortable base and an organised itinerary. Shared meals and water activities make it easy to bring people together away from the office.

Motorsailer Charter Athens: Cruising Areas and Suggested Routes

Daima cruises from Athens, and a week here is built around the Saronic Gulf, where sheltered water and short crossings make for relaxed sailing. A sample itinerary could begin with an embarkation in Athens and a first night near Aegina, continue to Poros, then spend two easy days around Hydra before heading back north. On the way home, Cape Sounion and the Temple of Poseidon make a fine final stop. You can browse more yacht charters from Athens on our region page.

Routes are flexible and can be tailored to your wishes, and our charter team will help you plan the itinerary. Cruising between Greece and Turkey is available on request.
