On Board & Practical Tips
How much do marinas cost?
Prices vary; catamarans are often surcharged — budget for overnight berths.

Lock the dinghy; stay aware on crowded quays.

Contact the operator; SEARADAR support is available per your contract.
Corporate charters in Athens?

VHF channel 16 — what do I need to know?
