George's Inside Info
“PI 2 is where I send the group that has done villas and wants to try a crewed week without committing to a five figure jump. The chef is the reason people rebook her. Ask for the tablescaping when you send your preference sheet, because the crew genuinely enjoy being asked and it changes the evenings. Her name is painted on the hull as the Greek letter pi with a little two above it, which is the sort of detail guests photograph before they photograph the island. Best weeks are late May, June and the first half of September, when the Meltemi is kinder to a sailing catamaran and the anchorages at Kythnos and Serifos are still your own.”
- George P. Biniaris, Managing Broker & IYBA Member
The Yacht in Detail
PI 2, the quiet arithmetic of a good week
There is a particular kind of charter guest who does the sum before the dream. Ten people, one week, a crew who cook and clear and know where the wind will be at four in the afternoon. PI 2 is the boat that makes that sum work.
She is a Fountaine Pajot Saba 50, a sailing catamaran of fifty feet with five double cabins, each with its own bathroom, and not one of them claiming to be more important than the others. That matters more than it sounds. On most boats of this size somebody ends up in the small cabin. On PI 2 nobody does.
A crew of three, and a chef with a shelf of awards
Her crew is a captain, a chef and a stewardess. The chef is the reason her name keeps coming up: PI 2 has taken multiple awards at the EMMYS boat show for tablescaping and for the culinary experience aboard. Tablescaping is a strange word for something simple, which is that the table you sit down to on the aft deck has been thought about as carefully as the food on it.
She is based in Athens, which is the practical detail that decides most weeks. From her berth the Saronic is a morning away and the Cyclades are a comfortable first day, so you are not spending a third of your charter getting to the good part.
Who she suits, and who she does not
She suits ten people who want the whole thing, crew included, without a superyacht invoice. She suits groups where the evening meal is the point of the day. She is honest about what she is not: a fifty foot catamaran with ten aboard is companionable, not private. If your party wants to disappear from each other for hours at a time, tell me and I will show you something larger instead.
A Sample 7-Day Route
What a week aboard S/CAT PI 2 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. Two hours on passage at 8 knots.
- Day 2· 29 NM
Aegina (Agia Marina)→Hydra
Three and a half hours under way. 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. Reckon on an hour and a quarter from the last berth.
- Day 4· 12 NM
Ermioni→Poros
Ninety minutes at her cruising speed. 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. Two and a half hours on passage at 8 knots.
- Day 6· 15 NM
Epidaurus→Aegina Town
Just under two hours under way. 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. Reckon on two hours from the last berth.
Indicative only - every charter is shaped around your group, the wind, and the season.
