Silver IX is a 2023 Bali 4.2 catamaran based in Volos, Greece—a gateway to the Aegean's most coveted sailing grounds. This 12.85-metre vessel combines modern comfort with the spacious, stable platform that makes catamarans ideal for families, groups of friends, or those seeking an unhurried week exploring hidden anchorages and whitewashed villages. With four cabins sleeping eight guests across four heads, Silver IX offers the rare luxury of privacy and independence while sailing together.

Life aboard unfolds at a gentle pace. The flybridge provides an open-air retreat for morning coffee and evening aperitifs, while the generous cockpit—sheltered by a Bimini awning—becomes your floating living room. Climate control throughout keeps you comfortable during warm Mediterranean days, and the onboard Wi-Fi means you can stay connected (or deliberately disconnect) as you choose. The well-equipped galley features a full refrigerator and espresso machine for those who appreciate their morning rituals, while the dessaliniser ensures fresh water for showers and cooking. Solar panels and a generator provide reliable power for all your needs, and the autopilot takes the strain out of longer passages, freeing you to simply enjoy the sail.

From Volos, a week typically unfolds across the Northern Sporades and into the Aegean's quieter corners—turquoise waters, pine-fringed coves, and charming harbours where local tavernas serve the day's catch. The responsive twin 45 HP engines and GPS navigation make passage planning straightforward, whether you're plotting a direct course or meandering between islands. The included dinghy opens access to secluded beaches and shallow anchorages unreachable by larger vessels, while the lazy bag keeps sail handling effortless.

Picture yourself anchored off a deserted islet at sunset, the flybridge alive with conversation, local wine cooling in the galley, and the gentle lap of Aegean water against the hulls—this is the rhythm of a week aboard Silver IX.
