George's Inside Info
“Sounion II is the boat I offer when someone asks for character you can stand on: a 1969 steel Benetti with her 2023 refit done respectfully, six crew for ten guests, and manners no production boat can imitate. She sails the Saronic and the near Peloponnese best, where the distances suit her 11 knots and the harbours suit her profile. Couples celebrating decades together book her again - that is the truest reference I can give. 52,000 to 58,000 euros per week.”
- George P. Biniaris, Managing Broker & IYBA Member
The Yacht in Detail
M/Y Sounion II is a classic Benetti of 1969 - steel-hulled, teak-decked, and kept in the condition her pedigree deserves through a 2023 refit. She is not a fast boat and does not pretend to be; she is a presence, and every harbour she enters notices.
Benetti's yards built her in the era when motor yachts were ships in miniature: a proper sheer line, real bulwarks, and deckhouses of varnished timber that no modern mould can quote.
The Classic Experience
Aboard, the pace changes. Ten guests settle into four cabins finished in the old way; a crew of six - a ratio modern boats this size rarely carry - runs white-glove service from a separate world below.
At 11 knots the Saronic islands come to you slowly and properly: Aegina's pistachio harbour, Hydra's amphitheatre of stone, the Peloponnese coast at cocktail hour. This is chartering as it was invented.
Decks Made for Evenings
Her aft deck seats the whole party at one table under the awning; the boat deck above takes the after-dinner hour. The platform and tender handle swimmers and shore runs, with boards and snorkelling kit aboard.
Where She Makes Sense
Sounion II is for guests who have done the fast week and want the storied one - anniversaries, three-generation gatherings, anyone for whom a yacht with history is the point rather than a compromise.
A Sample 7-Day Route
What a week aboard M/Y SOUNION II can look like
Total: 118 NM
- Day 1· 17 NM
Athens (Flisvos)→Aegina (Agia Marina)
Anchor off Agia Marina, close enough to Athens that nobody has lost a day getting here. Reckon on ninety minutes from the last berth.
- Day 2· 29 NM
Aegina (Agia Marina)→Hydra
Two and a half hours at her cruising speed. No cars on Hydra, not one. Mules carry the luggage up from the harbour and the town is stone and silence.
- Day 3· 16 NM
Hydra→Spetses
Spetses funded the fleet that fought in 1821, and the captains' mansions are still lived in. Ninety minutes on passage at 11 knots.
- Day 4· 4 NM
Spetses→Porto Heli
Half an hour under way. Flat water whatever the meltemi is doing outside, and a long sandy shore to swim from.
- Day 5· 7 NM
Porto Heli→Ermioni
Ermioni sits on a spit with water on both sides, pines along the point and a sunset walk to the end of it. Reckon on forty minutes from the last berth.
- Day 6· 12 NM
Ermioni→Poros
An hour at her cruising speed. Poros takes a stern line under the clock tower, and the lemon forest is a tender ride across the water.
- Day 7· 33 NM
Poros→Athens (Flisvos)
The final approach up the Attic coast, and her own berth before sunset. Three hours on passage at 11 knots.
Indicative only - every charter is shaped around your group, the wind, and the season.
