About Bareboat Sailing Yacht IKTINOS
IKTINOS is a Hanse 505 purpose-built for independent sailors seeking authentic exploration of Greece's most coveted waters. Launched in 2015, this six-cabin vessel balances serious sailing credentials with the comfort required for extended island passages. The Hanse 505 redefined its class through meticulous attention to cockpit ergonomics, deck layout, and below-deck livability, making her equally suited to capable crews navigating open Aegean swells and those anchoring in sheltered Cycladic bays.
The cockpit is the yacht's signature space. Dual tables transform into a sprawling relaxation platform, while the teak sole, integrated sprayhood, and bimini top create layered protection without sacrificing visibility. B&G electronics including dual GPS plotters, autopilot, and VHF radio support confident navigation across shifting wind patterns. Electric halyard winches reduce physical demand, the bowthruster simplifies tight anchorages, and a full-spec galley enables self-catering throughout your charter week.

The Charter Experience
Charter IKTINOS from the Cyclades as your floating base for discovery. Depart Mykonos or Paros and plot a course through some of Europe's most crystalline sailing grounds. Morning passages between islands reveal why these waters captivate returning sailors. Anchor off Antiparos for limestone caves, Naxos for marble villages, or the Dodecanese's sheltered eastern approaches. The bareboat model demands your own navigation, yet the Hanse 505's responsive handling and modern systems reward confident seamanship with effortless passages. Evenings are spent on deck with local wine and unforgettable Aegean light.
Suggested Itinerary
Consider a seven-day arc threading the Cyclades' northern cluster. Depart Saturday from Mykonos, sail south past Delos toward Naxos and Paros, then push east into the quieter Dodecanese waters around Symi or Kalymnos. The return leg northbound offers downwind sailing and opportunities to explore lesser-known anchorages along the Ionian approach before your Friday evening check-out.
