Catamarans for sale in Greece.
Sailing and power catamarans listed by vetted brokers — Lagoon, Fountaine Pajot, Bali, Leopard and more. Across Athens, Lefkas, Corfu, Volos and the Cyclades. Greece is the Eastern Mediterranean's charter capital, which means deep ex-charter inventory at value pricing for buyers who survey carefully.
Why Greece is the value market for catamaran buyers.
Greece is the Eastern Mediterranean's charter capital. The Greek charter fleet runs to roughly 4,500 yachts at peak season, of which around 800 to 1,000 are catamarans concentrated in Athens (Alimos, Lavrio, Zea), Lefkas (Ionian), and Corfu. Charter operators replace catamarans on a 5 to 8-year cycle, which means 100 to 150 ex-charter catamarans hit the Greek resale market every winter. This is the largest single source of mid-priced cruising catamaran inventory in the Mediterranean.
For buyers, this creates a genuine value opportunity. Greek-listed catamarans typically price 5 to 15 percent below Spanish equivalents and 15 to 25 percent below Italian equivalents for similar age and length. The trade-off is condition — Greek inventory is heavily charter-worn, with engine hours often exceeding 4,000, sails near end-of-life, and interiors showing the cosmetic effects of guest turnover. Surveyors who specialise in ex-charter boats are essential here, and post-purchase remediation budgets of €25k to €60k are normal rather than exceptional.
The Greek market splits between the Aegean (centred on Athens — Alimos, Kalamaki, Lavrio, Zea Marina) and the Ionian (Lefkas, Corfu, Preveza). Athens is the deepest market with the most varied inventory and the best surveyor and broker networks. Lefkas is more specialised — predominantly Lagoon and Fountaine Pajot ex-charter boats, often at the sharpest pricing in Greece. The Ionian also offers easier viewing logistics for buyers flying into Preveza or Corfu rather than Athens.
Catamaran prices in Greece — 2026 ranges by length.
Indicative 2026 ranges for used cruising catamarans in the Greek market. The market is dominated by charter-version (4-cabin) layouts, which is reflected in pricing. Owner-version (3-cabin) Greek inventory is rarer and trades at a 15 to 25 percent premium to the ranges below. Greek inventory typically prices 5 to 15 percent below Spanish equivalents.
On top of the purchase price, budget for FPA where applicable, survey fees of 0.4 to 0.9 percent of value (slightly higher than other Med markets given charter-history scrutiny), legal fees of €1,500 to €4,000, and TEPAI annual tax. See our complete catamaran prices guide for the full picture.

Where to view catamarans for sale across Greece.
Greek catamaran inventory clusters around two regions. The Aegean — centred on Athens (Alimos, Kalamaki, Lavrio, Zea Marina) — is the deepest market with the most varied inventory, the best surveyor and broker networks, and direct flight access from across Europe. The Ionian — Lefkas, Corfu, Preveza — is more specialised toward Lagoon and Fountaine Pajot ex-charter inventory, often at sharper pricing, with easier viewing logistics from Preveza or Corfu airports. Volos and Skiathos round out the Greek market.
What to look for when buying a catamaran in Greece.
Charter history is the default
Assume any Greek catamaran has charter history unless proven otherwise. A 4-cabin layout, missing private-owner registration history, or seller is a charter company are all confirmation. This isn't disqualifying but reshapes survey priorities entirely. Engine hours, sail age, rig condition, saildrives, and interior wear deserve disproportionate attention. Budget appropriately for post-purchase remediation.
FPA documentation
Greece applies FPA at 24 percent — among the highest in the EU. Demand a valid VAT-paid invoice from the original sale or equivalent EU documentation before signing. Greek charter boats often have complex commercial VAT histories that need verification. Missing or unclear FPA documentation creates a 24 percent contingent liability. A Greek maritime lawyer should verify status.
TEPAI clearance
TEPAI (Pleasure Vessel Tax) is charged annually on private boats over 7 metres. Verify TEPAI is paid current before closing — outstanding amounts transfer to the new owner with the boat. For a 12 to 16-metre catamaran this runs €1,500 to €3,000 per year. Charter-version catamarans operating commercially are exempt during commercial use, which simplifies the math but creates a verification step at flag/use change.
Survey priorities for ex-charter
Engine compression test (not just oil analysis), saildrive seal age, sail and standing rigging inspection, complete electronics functionality test, and a careful inspection of any signs of grounding. Budget €2,000 to €4,500 for a thorough catamaran survey in Greece, plus haul-out fees of €600 to €1,500. Athens has the most experienced catamaran surveyors; Lefkas surveyors are also strong given the local fleet density.
Flag and Cabotage strategy
Greek-flagged catamarans face certain charter and operational restrictions. Non-EU buyers often switch to Maltese, Belgian, or Polish flag at purchase to avoid Cabotage rules and gain operational flexibility. EU buyers can keep the Greek flag or switch to home-country registration. Flag choice has tax, charter, and resale implications and should be settled before signing.
Use a buyer's broker who knows Greek charter inventory
The Greek market rewards local knowledge more than any other Mediterranean market. Knowing which charter operator ran which boat, which yards do credible refits, and which brokers represent which fleets is non-trivial information that affects valuation by 10 to 20 percent. Buyer's broker fees are typically paid via co-brokerage, costing the buyer nothing extra. Don't skip this in Greece.

Catamarans for sale in Greece — frequently asked questions.
How much does a catamaran cost in Greece?
Used cruising catamarans in Greece typically range from €160k for an older 38 to 42-foot ex-charter model up to €700k for a recent 50-foot Lagoon or Fountaine Pajot, and €1.1M and above for new or near-new 55 to 65-foot catamarans. Greek inventory tends to price 5 to 15 percent below Spanish equivalents because the market is dominated by ex-charter boats with high engine hours and heavy interior wear.
Where in Greece are most catamarans sold?
Athens (Alimos, Kalamaki, Lavrio, Zea Marina) is the largest Greek catamaran market, driven by Saronic charter fleet turnover. Lefkas in the Ionian is the second cluster — home to a major catamaran charter base and significant secondary inventory. Corfu, Volos, and Skiathos round out the major Greek catamaran markets. Mainland Aegean (Athens) versus Ionian (Lefkas, Corfu) is the key geographic split.
What VAT (FPA) applies when buying a catamaran in Greece?
Greece applies FPA (Foros Prostithemenis Axias) at 24 percent on new catamarans and on commercial sales. Used catamarans sold privately between individuals are not subject to FPA again provided the boat carries valid VAT-paid documentation from a previous EU sale. Greek inventory carries higher VAT-history risk than Spain or France because many ex-charter boats have complex commercial histories. A Greek maritime lawyer should verify FPA status as part of due diligence.
What is TEPAI and does it apply to catamarans?
TEPAI (Telos Pleon Idiotikis Anapsychis) is the Greek Pleasure Vessel Tax introduced in 2019. It applies to private vessels over 7 metres operating in Greek waters, charged annually based on length. For a typical cruising catamaran of 12 to 16 metres, TEPAI is approximately €100 to €200 per metre per year — roughly €1,500 to €3,000 annually. Commercial charter vessels are exempt. Buyers should verify TEPAI is current before closing as outstanding amounts transfer with the boat.
Can a non-resident buy and charter a catamaran in Greece?
Non-residents can buy catamarans located in Greece without restriction. Chartering the catamaran commercially in Greek waters is more complex — non-EU flagged vessels face Cabotage restrictions limiting commercial charter. EU-flagged catamarans (Greek, French, Italian, Maltese, Belgian) can typically charter freely. Non-EU buyers planning charter use often switch to a Maltese or Belgian flag at purchase. A Greek maritime lawyer should advise on flag and charter strategy.
Are ex-charter catamarans worth buying in Greece?
Greece is the largest source of ex-charter catamaran inventory in the Mediterranean. The economics can be excellent — typically 30 to 45 percent below new prices for 5 to 8-year-old boats — but the survey priorities shift heavily. Engine hours commonly exceed 4,000 (versus 1,000 to 1,500 for private-owner equivalents), interior wear is significant, sails and rigging are often near end-of-life, and saildrives may need rebuild. Budget €25k to €60k for post-purchase remediation on a typical ex-charter buy. The math works for many buyers, but go in with eyes open.
