Beautiful Helen is a 2020 Oceanis 46.1 sailboat offering an ideal blend of comfort and performance for exploring the Dodecanese islands. Based at Marina Kos in Greece, this 13.65-metre yacht serves as your floating home for discovering crystalline waters, hidden anchorages, and whitewashed villages that define this corner of the Aegean. With four cabins and eight berths across four heads, Beautiful Helen accommodates families, groups of friends, or two couples seeking a week of genuine sailing adventure without compromise on comfort.

The yacht is thoughtfully equipped for both ease of passage and relaxation at anchor. Solar panels and a 57 HP engine mean you'll move efficiently between islands while minimising fuel consumption, while the bow thruster simplifies manoeuvring in tighter anchorages. Navigation is straightforward thanks to dual GPS plotters—one at the helm and another integrated into the cabin systems—paired with an autopilot that allows you to settle into the rhythm of the voyage. A generous bimini and sprayhood shield you from the Aegean sun during the day, whilst cockpit speakers and comfortable cushions create an inviting space for evening aperitifs as the light softens over distant shores.

Onboard life balances activity with genuine rest. Mornings might begin with snorkelling directly from the yacht using the provided equipment, exploring reefs and underwater ruins that dot the region. The galley refrigerator keeps provisions fresh as you prepare simple lunches, whilst cooler afternoons invite reading or swimming from the swim platform. The electric toilet system operates quietly and reliably, and modern conveniences like the refrigerator ensure provisioning is straightforward from the welcoming local markets in Kos town and beyond.

A week aboard Beautiful Helen typically unfolds as a sequence of unhurried passages between islands—perhaps Symi with its narrow harbour and sponge-diving heritage, or the quieter anchorages of Pserimos where turquoise water meets sandy beaches. Evenings anchor in sheltered bays, where fresh grilled octopus and local wine become the natural rhythm of Mediterranean sailing.
