George's Inside Info
“High Jinks is for the guest who has sailed before and misses it. Most crewed catamarans in Greece motor far more than they sail because guests want to arrive. Her crew will actually put the sails up if you ask, and the difference in how a day feels is enormous. Their second place in the Designer Water category at the 2024 EMMYS tells you what the table looks like when you come back aboard. Ask for the Saronic in June, when the wind is a friend rather than a negotiation, and let them route you around Hydra and Dokos rather than into them.”

The Yacht in Detail
High Jinks, a catamaran that still wants to sail
There is a quiet argument in the charter world about whether anybody actually sails a catamaran any more, or whether they are simply wide motorboats with a mast for decoration. High Jinks settles it. She is a Fountaine Pajot Sanya 57, and the photographs that matter of her are the ones with the sails up and the engines off.
Fifty seven feet is a good size for Greek waters. She is big enough that eight guests are not living on top of each other, and small enough that the anchorages worth having are still open to her in August.
The crew, and a second place worth more than it sounds
In 2024 her crew took second place in the Emerald Category of the CYBA Designer Water Competition at the EMMYS. It is a competition about presentation and hospitality, judged by people who do this for a living, and coming second in it says that the details aboard are not accidental.
The week she is built for
Eight guests in four double cabins, each en-suite, and a crew of three. The cockpit is where the day settles, shaded and wide, and it is the room you will remember. If you want the Cyclades with the sails working, or the Saronic at a pace that lets you stop where you feel like stopping, she is the honest answer.
She is not the boat for a group that wants to cover the maximum number of islands. A sailing catamaran in a Meltemi is a sailing catamaran in a Meltemi. If speed is the priority, say so and I will point you at something with engines.
A Sample 7-Day Route
What a week aboard S/CAT High Jinks can look like
Total: 119 NM
- Day 1· 17 NM
Athens (Alimos)→Aegina (Agia Marina)
Agia Marina sits on the east coast facing the sunrise, with a beach you can swim to off the stern. Reckon on two hours from the last berth.
- Day 2· 29 NM
Aegina (Agia Marina)→Hydra
Three and a half hours at her cruising speed. The harbour is small and the captains' houses climb the hill behind it, built on eighteenth century shipping money.
- Day 3· 11 NM
Hydra→Ermioni
Two harbours, one on each side of the headland, so there is always a lee. An hour and a quarter on passage at 8 knots.
- Day 4· 12 NM
Ermioni→Poros
Ninety minutes under way. The channel between Poros and the mainland is a hundred metres wide, and the town sits on both sides of it.
- Day 5· 19 NM
Poros→Epidaurus
Anchor here and the ancient theatre is a short drive inland, the acoustics still intact. Reckon on two and a half hours from the last berth.
- Day 6· 15 NM
Epidaurus→Aegina Town
Just under two hours at her cruising speed. A working island harbour with a nineteenth century waterfront, and pistachios sold off the quay.
- Day 7· 16 NM
Aegina Town→Athens (Alimos)
Back on her berth by the afternoon, so the last evening is dinner in town rather than a passage. Two hours on passage at 8 knots.
Indicative only - every charter is shaped around your group, the wind, and the season.
