Achilleas II

Achilleas II is a well-maintained Bavaria 47 sailboat based at Rhodes New Marina, your gateway to the Dodecanese islands and some of Greece's most coveted anchorages. Built in 2002, this 14.3-metre vessel combines proven seaworthiness with comfortable accommodation for groups of up to ten, making her ideal for families or friends seeking a week of island-hopping without the constraints of a crewed itinerary. The four cabins and three heads provide the privacy and convenience modern charterers expect, while the 78 hp Volvo engine ensures reliable passage-making when the Aegean winds demand it. Life aboard Achilleas II revolves around her well-appointed cockpit, sheltered by a Bimini and sprayhood that keep you comfortable during both lazy anchorages and spirited sailing days. A bow thruster makes tight marina approaches and challenging mooring situations manageable, even for less experienced skippers. The included dinghy opens access to hidden coves and remote beaches where larger vessels cannot venture—perfect for exploring Symi's colourful harbour, landing on Panormitis for a monastery visit, or discovering secluded swimming spots around Tilos. Below deck, the wooden-trimmed saloon and galley provide a welcoming retreat, with ample natural light and a layout that encourages both social gathering and quiet moments. A typical week unfolds between Rhodes and the northern Dodecanese: mornings spent under sail toward Symi or Panormitis, afternoons anchored in crystalline waters where snorkelling reveals ancient amphoras and vibrant marine life. The Aegean's consistent summer winds and moderate distances between islands suit both seasoned sailors and those building confidence at the helm. Whether you're provisioning at a waterfront taverna, diving from the platform, or simply watching the sun paint the limestone cliffs gold, Achilleas II delivers the unhurried rhythm that defines a Greek island escape. Imagine your final evening: anchored off a quiet bay, the dinghy secured to the stern, local wine cooling in the galley, and the Dodecanese ridgeline silhouetted against a fading horizon.
